Philips Central Monitoring Unit
Unleash the potential of centralized telemetry monitoring
For years, centralized telemetry monitoring has provided extra surveillance for patient safety, while seeking to reduce nuisance alarms. Health systems, though, continue to face challenges: Delays in identifying cardiac events. The wrong tele boxes going on the wrong patients. Flagging cardiovascular risks but never starting telemetry monitoring.
The Philips centralized monitoring unit recognizes these challenges, remaining focused on bedside care and patient needs while adding enhanced technology and supporting optimized workflows.
Only Philips has the single-platform solution to unleash the potential of centralized telemetry monitoring
For patient safety, reliability matters. Philips’ optimized, single-source solution avoids third-party middleware, for potentially fewer failure points and clear accountability. The solution fits within existing network infrastructure and can capture data from third-party, non-telemetry devices. It scales from one hospital to a full network, with monitoring onsite or off within the health system. It enhances filtering of nonactionable alarms, to address fatigue and ease bedside care burdens. And it supports critical workflows and standardized procedures, including appropriate telemetry use.

A Full Suite of Innovation
Philips PIC iX powers our centralized monitoring solution, unlocking innovation through coordination with other enterprise-wide tools. It gathers telemetry data from across the hospital or health system and provides a complete view of each patient, with web and mobile access in updated versions of PIC iX*. It scales to accommodate surges or growth while providing sector flexibility. It assists monitor techs with clinical decision support tools such as early warning scoring, ST Maps to recognize true ST elevation and Horizon Trends to identify concerning changes during safety stops.
IntelliBridge Enterprise
Link to ADT and EMR systems to view staff assignments, ensure correct patient identification, and export wavestrips and documentation.
Event Notification and Care Assist
Receive alarms with context, view waveforms, and manage responses and escalations from anywhere in the hospital, using a mobile device.
Clinical Insights Manager (CIM)
Run data-driven analyses with a platform featuring alarm insights (appropriate limits) and telemetry insights (census and potential discontinuation).
Focal Point for IT and biomed teams
Centrally manage network health, performance and security, as well as telemetry box inventory and functionality.
Guided by Philips’ Standards and Partnership
Philips bases its end-to-end solution on true partnership, led by our experienced Standards and Design teams. Their guidance includes best practices for center design, network infrastructure, and staff roles and supervision. It also focuses on effective workflows and performance measures.
Laying a Solid Foundation for Innovation Today and Tomorrow
Industry trends and healthcare challenges show the need to unify patient monitoring. Philips’ centralized data structures, shared platform and enterprise-wide suite of tools position health systems for the future — not only for telemetry but a wide range of patient monitoring.
