Based on customer feedback, the award underlines Philips' customer-centric approach.
"Our healthcare informatics solutions play a vital role in supporting care providers to diagnose, treat and monitor their patients," said Carla Kriwet, Chief Business Leader Connected Care and Health Informatics at Philips.
