Koninklijke Philips NV said Thursday that a study of its
InCourage system found positive results, with lower rates of
hospitalization and antibiotic use in patients with chronic
respiratory issues.
The Dutch medical-technology company said the peer-reviewed

patients receiving high frequency chest wall oscillation therapy
using the InCourage system for one year.
The study found that in the first year of use, the rate of
hospitalization dropped 54.5%, self-reported ability to clear lungs
improved to 76.6% from 13.9% and antibiotic use fell to 29.9% from
57.7%, the company said.
