Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, has been included in the 2024 Clarivate Top 100 Global Innovator™ list. Philips’ global R&D programs and collaborations aim to deliver personal health solutions for consumers and professional health solutions for healthcare providers and their patients in the hospital and the home. Together with healthcare providers and other ecosystem partners, Philips co-creates innovations that increase access to healthcare globally and create sustainable and resilient healthcare models.

EPIQ Elite ultrasound system

For example, illustrating the global reach of its efforts to accelerate more productive and sustainable MR imaging operations, Philips has installed more than 1,000 MR systems with its virtually helium-free BlueSeal magnet, which requires only 0.5% of the helium of a conventional Philips MR system. Additionally, Philips recently launched its new Azurion image-guided therapy system and advanced informatics to enhance the minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of neurovascular patients and reduce the time clinicians require per patient.

At Philips, we’ve been innovating to improve lives for over 130 years. People’s needs are at the very heart of how we innovate and design for sustainable impact with a ‘safety and quality first’ mindset. Innovation is our core strength and will continue to be our core differentiator.
