Ultrasound Remote Technical Connect

An OmniSphere software application that enables remote diagnostics and control of Philips ultrasound systems

Connectivity for high productivity

Today’s dynamic healthcare environment means growing productivity challenges, and the ability to quickly locate, diagnose and address maintenance problems is an essential part of operational efficiency. We understand that you have invested in a biomed team to meet these challenges, and we are here to support them.

The Philips OmniSphere Remote Technical Connect software application allows your own technicians to identify and solve maintenance issues on their Philips ultrasound systems* from a remote location. Your IT or biomedical team can troubleshoot issues and run system diagnostics throughout your network without having to travel to the location. This powerful tool can expedite your support workflow and allow you to maintain control over your data

Remote Technical Connect provides the ability to remotely evaluate whether ultrasound systems are online, access the user interface controls on the ultrasound system and troubleshoot issues – all from anywhere you have VPN access to your network.

The application provides a single-click remote connection to any active system. You can view online and offline ultrasound systems configured in OmniSphere and filter the list based on the parameters you choose:

Your service, your way

Remote Technical Connect is designed to help internal IT or biomed teams to be self-sufficient, starting with a fast, simple installation. The extent of Philips involvement depends entirely on what works for you. The application gives you the ability to store data completely in house, and Philips does not have access to your data.

Why choose Remote Technical Connect?

Until now, members of the IT department were required to drive to the practice’s 10 different offices, which are spread geographically throughout the state... significant amounts of time have been spent traveling to each office to complete IT work on the ultrasound systems.”
