Philips says more than 1,000 medical devices types can connect to its information platform

Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) today announced the release of new device drivers that enable its Philips Capsule Medical Device Information Platform (MDIP) to integrate with more than 1,000 unique types of medical devices.

Philips Capsule MDIP can also integrate into the Philips HealthSuite Platform, installed in more than 3,000 healthcare facilities worldwide.

Philips Capsule MDIP captures streaming clinical data and transforms it into insights. The goal is to improve collaboration between care teams, streamline clinical workflows, and increase productivity.

The Dutch medtech giant acquired Capsule Technologies and its medical device integration and data technologies early this year in a deal worth $635 million. Since then, it has continued to add device drivers to the Capsule platform, collaborating with device manufacturers and health systems.

“The 1,000+ device connectivity milestone serves as testament to Philips Capsule MDIP’s capabilities that support the data digitalization needs of today’s healthcare providers,” said Elad Benjamin, GM of Clinical Data Services at Philips.
