Philips showcases advanced healthcare innovations at Global Health Exhibition in Saudi Arabia
 

(RIYADH) - Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) is unveiling new artificial intelligence (AI) - powered healthcare innovations at Global Health Exhibtion 2025 (October 27-30) specifically aligned to accelerate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 healthcare ambitions.

“Saudi Arabia’s Healthcare Sector Transformation Program is one of the world’s most ambitious initiatives, showcasing unprecedented commitment to medical infrastructure, innovation, and leadership ”, said Vincenzo Ventricelli, CEO, Philips Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa (META). “Our portfolio, including innovations, directly supports this vision by demonstrating how intelligent technology can enhance care for more people while advancing medical excellence across the region.”

Philips’ innovations at Global Health Exhibition align with the Kingdom’s goals of serving a growing population and establishing Saudi Arabia as a premier healthcare destination. Each solution integrates advanced AI to boost clinical efficiency and patient outcomes.

Intelligence Reimagined

The flexible Philips CT 5300 system enhances diagnostic confidence, streamlines workflows, and maximizes uptime—improving patient outcomes and department productivity across Saudi Arabia’s expanding healthcare system. Its AI-powered CT Smart Workflow optimizes dose, speed, and image quality across various applications, while an AI-enabled patient positioning camera saves time and helps manage increased patient volumes efficiently.

Nanopanel Precise, the industry’s first AI-optimized detector, combined with Philips’ Precise Image reconstruction software, delivers high-quality images at lower radiation doses. “We designed the CT 5300 based on radiologists’ needs to free them from time-consuming tasks, allowing them to focus on patients,” said Akram Sirafy, General Manager, Philips Saudi Arabia.

Enhanced Point of Care

To meet the demands of Saudi Arabia’s expanding healthcare network, Philips offers advanced point-of-care solutions that deliver diagnostics directly to patients.

The Philips Radiography 7000 M, a premium mobile X-ray system, utilizes smart automation and AI to minimize physical strain on staff and enhance patient throughput by up to 37%, thereby supporting the Kingdom’s goals for healthcare access and efficiency.

The new Flash 5100 Point of Care Ultrasound combines exceptional image clarity, smart automation, and a portable vertical design with intuitive touchscreen controls. It enables clinicians to perform and document exams in real-time, making it ideal for high-pressure environments. Collaboration Live enables instant remote connection with colleagues, while cross-platform transducer compatibility ensures consistent performance across different clinical settings.

“These solutions address real workflow challenges faced by healthcare teams,” Akram Sirafy adds. “Patients benefit from shorter wait times and more comfortable imaging experiences while clinicians can have accessible, high-quality care across all settings.”

Advanced AI-Powered Echocardiography

The Philips Transcend Plus marks a major leap in echocardiography, designed to meet the growing cardiac care challenges across Saudi Arabia’s healthcare system. Building on the Transcend platform, it integrates AI and intelligent automation into EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx cardiovascular ultrasound systems, delivering fast, reproducible results with high image quality and enhanced decision support.

Notably, Philips 3D Auto CFQ uses AI to quickly quantify mitral regurgitation from 3D color Doppler, boosting clinical confidence in valvular assessments beyond traditional methods. The system streamlines workflows and improves diagnostic accuracy across settings—from echo labs to outpatient clinics and long-term care—helping cardiology teams work more efficiently without compromising quality.

“The Future Health Index 2025: Cardiology Snapshot revealed that globally, 79% of providers believe AI can reduce cardiovascular disease burden,” says Akram Sirafy. “Transcend Plus turns this belief into action, supporting Saudi Arabia’s goals for comprehensive cardiac care.”

With the Kingdom’s focus on preventive care and early intervention, Transcend Plus empowers healthcare teams to deliver consistent, high-quality cardiovascular diagnostics for immediate and long-term patient health.

Advancing MRI Excellence with AI-Powered SmartSpeed Precise

MRI advancements are crucial in broadening access to accurate diagnostics within Saudi Arabia’s evolving healthcare system.

Philips’ new SmartSpeed Precise, the industry’s first integrated dual AI solution, marks a major advance in autonomous, personalized MRI. This deep learning software enables scans up to three times faster with images up to 80% sharper — all in a single click. Combining Philips’ Compressed SENSE acceleration with AI-powered denoising and sharpening engines, SmartSpeed Precise delivers exceptional image clarity and diagnostic quality. By providing care teams with faster, clearer MR scans, it makes high-quality imaging more accessible and efficient than ever.
