Chipmunk Health chooses Philips HealthSuite digital platform to
roll out and scale up its telehealth services
May 1, 2019
Powered by Philips’ HealthSuite digital platform, new General
Practitioner telehealth service from Chipmunk Health aims to forge
a closer and more effective relationship between patients and their
doctors while improving health outcomes
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced that telehealth service provider Chipmunk Health, with
locations in the Netherlands and Canada, is leveraging the
capabilities and services of Philips’ HealthSuite digital platform
to roll out its new GP-to-patient home monitoring solutions.
Designed to allow general practitioners to keep a closer check
on the health status of their patients, Chipmunk Health’s
telehealth services offer patients a closer relationship with their
GP, without the waiting time and inconvenience of having to visit
their GP for routine check-ups. The company will use the open,
cloud-based infrastructure and services of Philips’ HealthSuite
digital platform to connect multiple home monitoring devices,
aggregate the acquired data via a dedicated smart hub, and securely
transmit, store and analyze it.
“Philips’ HealthSuite digital platform is a vitally important
element in rolling out our new services and scaling them up in a
safe and secure way,” said Erik Duijsens, founder and CEO of
Chipmunk Health. “We are convinced that our consumer-oriented
telehealth services will provide more effective and qualitatively
better healthcare than we already have, and at lower cost. Patients
will be able to access all their health data in one place and
doctors will be better equipped to serve their patients’ complex
needs.”
“Many Innovative telehealth start-ups have excellent ideas but
don’t have the resources to develop the secure, privacy-protected
data infrastructure needed to unify and connect devices and data,
and securely transmit, store and analyze patient data,” said Dale
Wiggins, Philips’ Business Leader for the HealthSuite digital
platform. “Supporting innovative companies like Chipmunk Health is
one of the reasons why we made HealthSuite an open digital platform
on which third parties can build their own applications. We are
delighted that Chipmunk has joined the growing number of companies
that recognize the growth and scale-up potential of our
platform.”
Today’s announcement follows similar recent agreements to use
Philips’ HealthSuite digital platform by eye care provider Alcon,
selfcare solutions company Ypsomed, and Internet of Things (IoT)
managed service provider Integron. In such collaborations, Philips
is the provider of the relevant cloud-based healthcare IT
infrastructure and not involved in the commercialization of the
products and services of these companies.Philips
