At Philips, we take people's needs as the starting point for our innovative solutions. In the area of healthcare, this means focusing on physical and emotional comfort for patients, staff well-being and motivation, visitor hospitality and the business challenges facing hospital management.
Understanding the high-stakes, high-stress reality of health care delivery and the underlying processes, we can work with you to create welcoming, efficient facilities that are designed around then needs of patients, healthcare practitioners and management, and visitors.
By combining state-of-the-art technology with a singularly people centric approach, we can help transform the entire hospital experience for patients and healthcare professionals alike.
Light is a fundamental part of life. It gives us the natural rhythm of day and night, determines how we see things and brings the world to life. Accordingly, light has a major impact on our well-being, emotions and performance.
We provide total lighting solutions to optimize hospital processes – from lamps, gear and luminaires through to lighting controls and lighting management systems. All backed up with leading-edge lighting design expertise and extensive application know-how.
Besides lighting, we can offer integrated solutions that draw upon capabilities from across the entire Philips group. From digital diagnostic imaging suites to patient data that doctors can view wirelessly at the bedside, to the most advanced display monitors and TV sets. All are part of our drive to help build world-class, patientcentric and cost-effective healthcare facilities.

In exploring the needs and desires of our customers and end-users in healthcare, we have identified three key lighting themes, in addition to basic functional lighting – ambience, well-being and sustainability.
Ambience and comfort
People who have to stay in hospital often feel anxious. Being away from home and in unfamiliar clinical surroundings doesn’t make things any easier. If patients can influence the room or area they are in, they feel more in control and at ease. Lighting provides a unique way to transform our surroundings and create appealing, emotionally uplifting atmospheres. Simply adjusting the light enables us to personalize a space, creating our own ambience – whether it be bright functional light for an examination environment or a warm, pleasant lighting atmosphere in which the patient can enjoy a relaxing chat with visitors. Ambience and personalization can be particularly relevant in diagnostic areas, waiting areas, patient rooms and entrance lobbies/receptions.
Well-being and performance
Good lighting doesn’t just help us to see better, it also affects how we feel. The rhythm of light and darkness synchronizes our biological clock. Two of the characteristics of light that strongly influence how we feel – both physiologically and psychologically – are the level and ‘cool’ or ‘warm’ color appearance of the light.
In high-intensity 24/7 working environments like hospitals, a stimulating lighting ambience and the possibility to adapt the environment to our personal preferences enhances our motivation and sense of well-being, helping healthcare professionals to perform even more effectively.
Well-being can be particularly relevant in staff offices and patient rooms.
Sustainability
Philips has a long-standing commitment to providing lighting solutions that improve people’s lives and are environmentally sound.
We believe we can help create a sustainable future by developing innovative lighting solutions that are kinder to the environment (minimized hazardous substances) and offer lower cost of ownership (maximized energy savings and lifetime).
In round-the-clock working environments like hospitals in particular, the energy and cost-saving potential of our advanced lighting solutions is substantial.
