Philips: Systems Engineering in healthcare

* Has the bone fractured? We get an xray done.
* Is the baby inside a womb growing well? We take an ultrasound scan.
* How about heart showing abnormality? We diagnose with CT scan.
* Is brain tumor the cause of serious headache? Let hashtag#MRI scan reveal.

Philips is at the forefront of making these wonderful diagnostic equipment and devices… It was fascinating to visit the state-of-the-art labs… and interact with a good number of researchers and engineers… on underlying science and technology.

Heartfelt thanks to MD Arvind Vaishnav and VP Sathish Kumar for inviting me to celebrate Cognizance’24, an Innovation Day in Philips Innovation Campus (PIC)… and explaining how the teams are driving healthcare innovation value chain in Bangalore…thanks to CHRO Seetha Rani KP for conversations around motivation in people and vibrancy in culture in the new integrated campus.

And appreciate Deepak Shekhar for anchoring the hour-long fireside chat… with tons of interesting questions around:: best practices in RnD… IP and innovation in regulated space like healthcare… systems engineering outlook… AI/GenAI in healthcare… the B2B vs B2C biz angle… leveraging local talent for global impact… lessons from healthcare startups.
