Philips announces U.S. commercial launch of Motiva – a TV-based platform for remote patient management
Andover, MA –Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) today announced U.S. commercial availability of Philips Motiva, its groundbreaking TV-based platform for remote patient management. Besides vital sign monitoring, Motiva engages patients daily with personalized interactive content helping care managers reach more patients, influence long-term behavior and lower healthcare costs. “Motiva gives patients a friendly and familiar way to connect everyday with their healthcare organizations – the home television,” said Jay Mazelsky, vice president and general manager, for Philips Medical Systems. “Nearly everyone has a TV and Motiva transforms this common household device into a whole new way for nurses to educate, motivate and communicate with their patients. Equally important, Motiva lets clinicians continuously track each patient’s level of knowledge, motivation and confidence to achieve specific health goals related to his or her chronic condition. It’s a powerful combination designed to help organizations address both quality of life and cost of quality care.”
Designing Motiva around patient needs, Philips called on experts in the company’s consumer electronics business to learn how to wrap this ‘high tech’ system in an easy-to-use package, consistent with the overall Philips commitment to ‘Sense and Simplicity.” With a simplified user interface, patients only need to operate a few buttons on a Motiva remote control, while the secure broadband connection and set-top box installed at enrollment make the connection work.
