We have known for some time that Philips was looking to get into smart health connected health. After launching Pulseelief and BlueTouch to relieve user pain, the Dutch company is now working on a smart health smart health connected object capable of accurately measuring data related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The announcement came at the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco.

In partnership with the medical center at the Dutch University of Radboud, this new product would allow doctors to better monitoring the health of people with these lung diseases (often former smokers) who sometimes have a hard time breathing. Once individuals leave the hospital, the smart health smart health connected object in question would be able to measure physical activity, respiration, quality of sleep, heart rate and changes in heart rate in real time.

Philips is not the first try in smart health connected health

To retrieve this data, Philips also partnered with Salesforce to be able to transmit all the data directly to cloud storage before redirecting it to the Philips platform and the various mobile applications that certain stakeholders will be able to consult. The data would notably be visible in the two mobile applications recognized by the American FDA as its eCare Companion and eCare Coordinator. Salesforce, which is also working on an API for the product (released in early 2015), should announce more at the Structure Connect Conference which will be held next week, and during which SVP Todd Pierce should discuss the connection between large smart health connected objects. consumption and advanced medical solutions.

In any case, the Philips prototype intends to go further than fitness tracking activities like that of Fitbit or Jawbone, which have no real medical application. In the case of the Philips project, it would be develop a solution by doctors, for doctors. The latter could thus prescribe the smart health smart health connected object to certain patients suffering from these diseases.
