Philips

Philips develops diagnostic imaging, image-guided therapy, monitoring and health informatics systems. Its Azurion interventional platform combines live X-ray imaging, navigation data and procedure software to support minimally invasive cardiovascular, neurological and other treatments. The company operates globally as a diversified public health-technology supplier.

Within robotics, Philips North America leads the ARPA-H A-RISE programme with Johns Hopkins University and Boston University. The team is combining image-guided therapy infrastructure, imitation-learning algorithms and a fluid-driven steerable catheter to develop increasingly autonomous endovascular procedures, including mechanical thrombectomy for stroke.
