Philips on AWS
Founded in the Netherlands in 1891, at the dawn of electricity, Philips first developed cost-effective, reliable incandescent light bulbs before expanding to early medical X-ray imaging, personal care electronics, and even the invention of the CD and DVD. More recently, Philips has honed its focus on creating innovative technological solutions for health and well-being, building its HealthSuite Digital Platform (HSDP) on AWS to drive improved patient outcomes.

Disrupting Within: Driving Better Health with Philips
Patients deserve personalized care. But delivering the best health outcomes possible is challenging when there's no centralized location for patient records—and all patients don’t have equal access to the same quality of care.
Philips is helping to break down these barriers. Its HealthSuite System of Engagement centralizes and secures data, while Philips Oncology Pathways Navigator, built on first-class treatment pathways provided by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, provides doctors with access to excellent treatment recommendations. Dana-Farber uses these to bring patients and providers together to choose the optimal path forward for each person.
Philips Uses Amazon Redshift for Large Data Workloads
2016
Philips uses data to drive decisions, and, when its on-premises database solutions couldn’t handle the amount of data in 37 million records, it turned to AWS. Philips set up Attunity CloudBeam, an AWS Marketplace product for Amazon Redshift, in less than one minute to simplify, accelerate and automate data transfers to the AWS Cloud. Before AWS, the company’s fastest data transfers were 434 records per minute. Using AWS, the company transferred 37 million records in 90 minutes and can optimize large data sets within two hours.
Philips Uses AWS to Analyze 15 PB of Patient Data
2014
Philips HSDP analyzes and stores 15 PB of patient data gathered from 390 million imaging studies, medical records, and patient inputs to provide healthcare providers with actionable data, which they can use to directly impact patient care. Running on AWS provides the reliability, performance and scalability that Philips needs to help protect patient data as its global digital platform grows at the rate of one petabyte per month.
