On January 18, 2023, Masimo and Royal Philips announced an extension of their partnership to expand the capabilities for patient monitoring in home telehealth applications.
Masimo W1™ advanced health tracking watch will unite with Philips' enterprise patient monitoring ecosystem, advancing telemonitoring and telehealth.
Masimo W1 is the first wristwatch to provide continuous, precise pulse oximetry measures and other health-related information. Masimo's secure health data cloud will transmit patient information to Philips' patient monitoring environment thereby, facilitating remote clinician monitoring. Hospital experts will remotely monitor patients' vital signs while they go about their regular lives. Physicians can confidently discharge patients, knowing that Masimo W1 will monitor their vital signs while Philips dashboards will scrutinize their physiological status. It will enable physicians and nurses to detect a patient's deterioration earlier and provide better care. This innovative combination of monitoring and networking technology will offer numerous opportunities, including early discharge initiatives, hospital-at-home programs, and the management of chronic illness.
Bilal Muhsin, Chief Operating Officer of Masimo Healthcare, expressed, "Expanding our partnership with Philips in this way is a win-win for patients and clinicians everywhere, and is an important part of our multi-year plan to bring the best of hospital monitoring to the home while continuing to improve access to quality hospital care."
