The two entities will work together to incorporate new technologies into hospital operations and improve products continuously based on real-world feedback.

As part of the new deal, Isala will also implement a flexible multi-year plan to replace medical systems, such as MRI and CT scanners, to ensure cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

The continuous updates provided by Philips will keep medical systems up-to-date, extending their lifespan and providing financial and environmental benefits.

Furthermore, Philips will supply key medical imaging systems along with support services for enhancing clinical adoption and streamlining processes.

Philips Benelux managing director Léon Kempeneers said: “Hospitals face significant financial and personnel challenges in the coming years, and there is no single solution to these challenges.

“Together with Isala, we will work on enhancing the clinical adoption of new technologies such as AI, simplifying and enhancing healthcare providers’ work.”
