Matthew A. Love, president and CEO of Nicklaus Children’s Health System, highlighted Philips’ commitment to innovation and patient safety at their institution. Love emphasized the importance of recognizing that pediatric radiology solutions cannot simply be smaller versions of adult solutions. He mentioned that making medical procedures fun and instilling confidence in children is crucial to alleviate stress for both the child and their family.
Nicklaus Children’s Health System has announced plans to enhance their cardiac care with the Philips EPIQ CVx and Compact 5500CV AI-enabled ultrasound systems. These systems automate measurements and strain quantification to reduce quantification time by 51% and help sonographers reduce exam time for 2D imaging by 20%. TrueVue imaging technology will aid in interpreting structural heart disease progression and improving communication between echocardiographers and interventionalists. This technology will provide crucial clinical information, increase diagnostic confidence, and ultimately improve procedure guidance and patient outcomes.
Jeff DiLullo, Chief Region Leader for Philips North America, emphasized the collaborative effort to create a healthy future for every child at Nicklaus Children’s. He praised Nicklaus Children’s status as one of the top pediatric health systems with high survival rates in the nation. DiLullo stated that by providing pediatric coaching solutions and AI-enabled tools, they can assist clinicians in delivering exceptional outcomes and giving families hope for the future.
