Philips launches on-demand ultrasound service in UK
Ultrasound on Demand is designed to offer a range of hi-spec ultrasound packages that are charged for when used. The technology also allows procurement managers to track utilisation twenty-four hours a day, showing them, for example, exactly when equipment is switched off, idle, in use or in study mode.
Given its ultimate flexibility, with more than 50 options, Ultrasound on Demand will also enable clinicians to access a host of advanced facilities such as 3D abdominal scanning - where previously they were limited by the restrictions of necessary upfront investment costs.
Katie Taylor, Group Director of Imaging & Cardiology at BMI Healthcare, said: “We see Ultrasound on Demand as a significant innovation. It provides the opportunity to test clinical applications that a site may not have used before such as elastography, using advanced software, or abdominal scanning using 3D Xmatrix software. It will help us move beyond the conventional use of our systems and consider how, with this wider range of tools, we can increasingly provide specialist services to our patients and grow our expertise. This opens up new possibilities for BMI Healthcare.”
Neil Mesher, Managing Director of Philips Healthcare UK & I commented: “We’re excited about Ultrasound on Demand’s potential to help clinicians do more. As an innovative new approach to ultrasound provision we think this flexible, scalable system will equip our healthcare partners to be braver, strive for innovation and achieve even better outcomes for their patients.”
