Advanced innovation in central monitoring

Philips Patient Information Center iX (PIC iX) continuous monitoring platform is newly configured to keep clinicians connected to patient data throughout the hospital and between other care facilities. This new era in patient monitoring delivers deeper patient insights, addresses clinicians’ workload through smarter workflows and offers flexible deployment options. Scalable to support up to 2,550 beds across high-acuity, general care and MRI suites, PIC iX enables powerful web and mobile workflows that extend clinicians’ reach.

IntelliVue MX patient monitors offer advanced alarm management features, including newly designed alarm sounds and mobile capabilities that help support efficient workflows and a more controlled acoustic environment in the hospital. The Visual Patient Avatar application introduces a new way to see patients’ vitals taking shape, designed to improve situational awareness in acute patient management when seconds matter. Currently available in OR workflows and soon to be available at the bedside.

Hospitals can face an average of 350 alarms per patient per day—over 85% non-actionable¹—leading to alarm fatigue and a risk of missed critical alerts, while constant noise causes stress and sleep deprivation for patients, impacting healing and outcomes². The future lies in a smart healing environment built on interoperable connectivity and the service-oriented device connectivity (SDC)* standard, integrating Philips and third-party devices into one intelligent ecosystem that routes alarms outside the patient room and alerts only the right clinical staff.
