Philips is a leading health technology company focused on making the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. Committed to improving the lives of three billion people a year by 2030, Philips is a leader in diagnostic imaging, image-guided therapy, patient monitoring and health informatics, as well as consumer health and home care.

Shawn Gibbons, head of the Platform Solutions Group for Philips Radiation Oncology, explained that integration is vital as users in different locations access systems remotely and patient data can remain fragmented in multiple applications. “The way healthcare is delivered now, it’s not just a single location or even a single workstation. It is spread across multiple facilities and multiple caregivers alike. Physicians, nurses and other treatment staff need access to the patient data. And, when they do look at data, they’re not looking at it from only one particular application, but across multiple applications.”

To facilitate remote access to multiple healthcare solutions, Philips needed a partner with the technology to connect a broad landscape of IT ecosystems.

After evaluating software applications, Philips chose OpenText Exceed TurboX, a web-based remote access solution for UNIX, Linux and Microsoft Windows desktops and applications. Philips is using the solution to provide remote access to its IntelliSpace Radiation Oncology platform, which offers a single integrated solution to enable doctors and clinicians to view, prescribe and plan treatments remotely over hospital networks, quickly and efficiently with increased diagnostic confidence.
