ROYAL PHILIPS has announced that Lumify, a smart device ultrasound solution for use at the point of care, is available in the UK.
Philips’ new ultrasound digital health device connects off-the-shelf compatible smart devices, a mobile application, advanced ultrasound transducer technology, integrated IT and support services to help healthcare providers improve patient care while potentially reducing ultrasound associated costs.
In the emergency and acute setting the ability to quickly offer ultrasound at the patient side provides considerable care benefits. Having immediate access to a smart tablet device reduces the time needed to start ultrasound diagnostics and means patients’ conditions can be accurately assessed, and quick critical decisions can be made.
