SPI Digital Health: Philips Virtual Care Management: More Than a Remote Chance of Success

As the patient care pathway moves steadily away from the hospital, Philips launched its new Virtual Care Management platform in March. The company says the platform will offer a ‘comprehensive’ approach to telehealth for patients, providers and payers, improve patient engagement and health outcomes, lower the cost of care, and make workflows more efficient.

Philips Virtual Care Management brings onto a single platform the company’s legacy remote patient monitoring (RPM) business as well as the chronic disease management capabilities of BioTel Care, the RPM arm of BioTelemetry (BioTel). Philips acquired BioTel, a powerhouse in the cardiac monitoring market, in 2021.
