The consortium was selected through a tender led by Karolinska University Hospital for an advanced remote-monitoring program serving patients with complex or chronic conditions.<\/p>\n The up to eight-year agreement will support care for more than 2 million people in the Stockholm region and is Region Stockholm\u2019s first region-wide hospital-at-home initiative, designed to extend hospital-led care into patients\u2019 homes through a coordinated, multi-partner model. By combining advanced remote-monitoring technologies with digitally connected care pathways, the program enables patients across Region Stockholm to receive high-quality care at home while helping reduce pressure on hospitals and clinical staff throughout the region.<\/p>\n Delivering hospital-level care at home across Region Stockholm<\/p>\n Through this initiative, publicly owned hospitals and primary care facilities within Region Stockholm will be able to monitor patients with complex or chronic conditions continuously in their homes by enabling hospital-led clinical oversight through digital connected care. Many of these patients require continuous monitoring of key clinical parameters, including waveform data such as ECG and oxygen saturation. This data will be securely available in near real time to healthcare professionals across hospital and primary care settings throughout the region.<\/p>\n The solution also enables direct patient-clinician interaction through assigned care pathways, video consultations, and secure chat functionality, while tracking a wide range of vital signs to support ongoing assessment and early detection of clinical deterioration. Implemented as a region-wide program, the initiative will serve patients across the greater Stockholm area and directly support Region Stockholm\u2019s healthcare priorities – responding to rising demand from an aging population, addressing workforce shortages, and promoting supporting equitable access to high-quality care in both urban and remote communities.<\/p>\n Accelerating a new era of connected care at regional scale<\/p>\n The consortium brings together Philips, Cuviva, and Vingmed – working alongside leading sensor and wearable technology providers – to deliver an advanced, patient-centered hospital-at-home solution at a regional scale. Philips contributes to its global expertise in patient monitoring, interoperability, and data integration. Cuviva, a Swedish digital health company, serves as the core technology provider, delivering a secure, advanced and fully integrated IT platform that enables structured, scalable hospital-at-home care through digital monitoring, real-time communication, and smooth integration with the hospital\u2019s digital infrastructure. Vingmed, a Nordic healthcare technology specialist, is responsible for the clinical measurement devices in the home – including ECG, blood pressure and pulse oximetry – and for the deployment and lifecycle management of this equipment across the region.<\/p>\n Together, the consortium will support Region Stockholm in realizing its vision for the future of care: extending hospital-level oversight into the home across the region to help patient outcomes while easing the burden on clinicians and hospital infrastructure.<\/p>\n A model for the future of healthcare<\/p>\n “This collaboration represents a shift in how we deliver and experience healthcare in Sweden,\u201d said Julia Strandberg, Chief Business Leader, Connected Care at Philips. “Together with our consortium partners, we\u2019re combining digital innovation, clinical expertise, and remote monitoring to reach more patients, ease pressure on healthcare systems, and create a scalable model for connected, sustainable, patient-centered care across Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n For further information, please contact:<\/p>\n Eeva Vesander<\/p>\n Marketing Leader<\/p>\n Philips Health Systems Nordics<\/p>\n Tel.: +46723713960<\/p>\n Email: [email\u00a0protected]<\/a><\/p>\n About Royal Philips<\/p>\n Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) is a leading health technology company focused on improving people\u2019s health and well-being through meaningful innovation.
