Enterprise Imaging is at the heart of an organization’s digital transformation strategy and healthcare organizations are increasingly recognizing the value of a unified, scalable solution that consolidates imaging data across departments, improves accessibility and supports data-driven clinical decision-making.

The latest IDC MarketScape: U.S. Enterprise Medical Imaging 2024-2025 Vendor Assessment [1], positions Philips as a Leader. The IDC MarketScape notes, “Philips' approach to the market is deeply rooted in leveraging cloud and AI technologies to drive operational efficiency, streamline data accessibility, and support healthcare professionals with data-driven tools.”

The Strategy score measures alignment of vendor strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Vendor market share is represented by the size of the circles.

Philips’ cloud-based solutions aim to unify workflows, improve access to critical insights, and drive better outcomes for patients. Offering a unified view of patient data from diverse diagnostic sources, including radiology images, digital pathology slides, and other clinical records, supports care team collaboration and optimizes workflows.

Clinicians also benefit from remote access to diagnostic, reporting, and workflow orchestration tools, which can enhance diagnostic capabilities across healthcare imaging, from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up, helping to deliver better care for more patients. Philips can help healthcare organizations meet current challenges such as labor shortages and achieve long term goals to improve patient care while operating more efficiently.

Most recently, Philips expanded its strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to offer Philips’ integrated diagnostics portfolio in the cloud, including radiology, digital pathology, cardiology [2], and AI advanced visualization [2] solutions. As part of the agreement, Philips also aims to create robust and scalable generative AI applications that leverage state-of-the-art foundation models from Amazon Bedrock, and seamlessly integrate into clinical workflows.

According to the IDC MarketScape, “Philips features a comprehensive healthcare informatics portfolio covering radiology informatics, cardiology informatics, digital pathology, and virtual care solutions, turning data into actionable insights via enterprise imaging and decision support tools such as the Advanced Visualization Workspace.”

“As one of the largest healthcare informatics companies, we are committed to supporting our customers to benefit from the latest advances in AI, and our integrated diagnostics portfolio in the cloud, including radiology, cardiology and pathology,” said Madhuri Sebastian, Business Leader Radiology Informatics at Philips. “We are pleased the IDC MarketScape has named Philips as a Leader in U.S. Enterprise Medical Imaging. We believe this is testament to our ability to help healthcare providers address current challenges by optimizing imaging workflows and enabling them to provide better care for more people.”
