Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG), a global leader in health technology, today announced the launch of its expanded SmartSleep suite of solutions in the United States. First introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2019, Philips SmartSleep solutions aim to improve the lives of millions of consumers by providing a breadth of solutions to address sleep issues ranging from difficulty falling asleep to snoring, to simply not getting enough quality sleep. Recognized as a population health issue by clinical communities worldwide, sleep deprivation affects the health and livelihood of millions of people. In fact, a global sleep health survey conducted by Philips in 2019 revealed that 76 percent of adults experience at least one listed condition that affects their sleep, with insomnia (37 percent) and snoring (29 percent) being the most common [1]. By expanding its suite of consumer sleep solutions, Philips aims to ultimately address 80 percent of all sleep issues globally.
Our suite of solutions aims to provide consumers with access to clinically backed innovations that will help them get a better night’s sleep to achieve more productive days ahead, while also increasing awareness to the importance of sleep health.

“Everyone sleeps, but unfortunately sleep doesn’t come easily for everyone. There are a host of issues that impact sleep – from trouble falling asleep to snoring to chronic conditions like sleep apnea,” said Mark Michels, Business Leader, Healthy Sleep Solutions at Philips. “Using our nearly 40 years of deep clinical expertise in sleep technology, we continue to enhance the solutions available for people who experience common issues that negatively impact the quality of their sleep. Our suite of solutions aims to provide consumers with access to clinically backed innovations that will help them get a better night’s sleep to achieve more productive days ahead, while also increasing awareness to the importance of sleep health. All of this comes with the hope of positively impacting the consumer and clinical sleep industries alike.” Philips SmartSleep suite of solutions is comprised of a mix of existing and new solutions, which aim to make better sleep accessible to everyone: Further building on its commitment to improve sleep health, Philips is teaming with trusted, like-minded companies to offer sleep-focused education, pre-diagnostic information and insight, and easier access to Philips sleep solutions in the marketplace. Philips and Walgreens have engaged in a joint effort to help consumers identify the root causes of their sleep issues by integrating the SmartSleep Analyzer tool into the Walgreens Find Care™ platform, and connecting them with Philips sleep solutions available for sale on Walgreens.com. Philips has also collaborated with WebMD to reach more consumers about the importance of sleep to overall health via educational content driving to SmartSleep Analyzer and personalized sleep solutions on Philips.com. The new SmartSleep solutions are now available for purchase on Philips.com, Walgreens.com and BestBuy.com.
