people’s lives

Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced that the company’s Experience Design Team has been
awarded the honorary title of ‘Red Dot: Design Team of the Year
2022’. The Red Dot design organization awarded the title in
recognition of the Philips Experience Design Team’s
multidisciplinary approach to creating integrated solutions that
address major challenges in healthcare, such as ageing populations,
the increase in chronic illnesses, the COVID-19 pandemic, and
escalating healthcare costs, together with its strong focus on the
user and patient experience.
On behalf of the team, Philips’ Chief Design Officer Sean Carney
was presented the award during the Red Dot award ceremony that took
place on the evening of Monday, June 20 in Essen, Germany. It is
the first time in the history of the Red Dot Design Award (1988)
that this award has been bestowed on a design team for the second
time.
Philips’ Experience Design Team comprises a multidisciplinary
team of designers operating out of 13 design centers across North
and South America, Europe and Asia. Applying deep human insights
and cutting-edge technologies, the team helps to create healthcare
products and services that truly improve lives, making it a key
part of Philips’ mission to improve the lives of 2.5 billion people
a year by 2030, including 400 million in underserved
communities.
“Philips’ design team has achieved what many wish for, but few
manage - holistic solutions that require the interplay of
technology and design to make a lasting positive impact on the
progress of their own company and the transformation of
healthcare,” said Professor Dr. Peter Zec, founder and CEO of Red
Dot. "The multidisciplinary Philips Experience Design Team has been
proving for years that it is a leader in the field of healthcare
technology. The Red Dot: Design Team of the Year 2022 award is a
well-deserved recognition of their work.”
“For more than a decade we’ve recognized that integrated systems
combining smart devices, systems, software, and services with
real-time data and patient histories are the only way to deliver on
the quadruple aim of better patient outcomes, enhanced patient and
staff experiences, and lower cost of care, and do it across the
entire patient journey,” said Sean Carney, Chief Design Officer at
Philips. “I am immensely proud that my team has been awarded the
prestigious title of Red Dot: Design Team of the Year in
recognition of the outstanding healthcare solutions they are
helping deliver.”
In April, Philips received three Red Dot Design ‘Best of the
Best’ awards for ground-breaking design excellence, bringing the
company’s cumulative ‘Best of the Best’ total over the years to 27,
next to more than 460 Red Dot awards in total.

functionality, smartness or innovation. The Red Dot: Design Team of

consistent track record of innovative, top-class design
achievements.
