Every day, healthcare moves forward. Yet even the most advanced healthcare networks can be more integrated. Systems need to talk to each other. Data needs to be available wherever it’s needed. At Philips, we help create seamless solutions that connect people, technology and data across the care continuum.
There’s no limit to what we can do together. Because today health knows no bounds, and neither should healthcare.
We hope you’ll join us at booth #S08 to learn more! Don’t miss our in-booth forum with an exciting program of innovation and clinical updates.

The presence of EFL during a COPD exam could indicate that a patient has more severe physiological conditions, and there is a significant correlation between COPD patients with EFL and worse health status, symptom score and overall disease burden. Identifying EFL and tidal EFL can therefore be incredibly beneficial in improving outcomes for COPD patients, but it can often go undetected in a clinical setting.
EFL identification could be highly useful in stratifying patients by the severity of their COPD or treatment responses. COPD patients with EFL are more likely to exacerbate sooner, are hospitalized more often, and have increased mortality rates. The technology is therefore something that could tangibly improve patients' quality of life, and remove burdens on healthcare resources. We’re talking more about it this week at ERS.
