Philips and Shinagawa Philippines are helping to bring advanced diagnostic imaging solutions to the Philippines 

Philips will help Shinagawa Philippines rock the world of diagnostic and preventive care, by introducing advanced precision diagnostic solutions. 

Philips, a global leader in health technology, announced that it would be providing Shinagawa Healthcare Solutions Corporation—a subsidiary of Shinagawa LASIK and Aesthetics Center Corporation—with multimodalities of imaging technologies from Philips at the start of the first quarter of 2023. 

Shinagawa Medical Center will be the first medical facility in the Philippines to have an integrated precision diagnostics suite. The Philips Ultrasound System 3300, the Philips MR 5300 and IntelliSpace Portal (ISP) solution will be installed at the new Diagnostic and Preventive Care center. The Philips MR 5300 will be the first helium-free MRI Technology in Southeast Asia. 

“Our partnership with Shinagawa reinforces our commitment in improving people’s lives and making the world healthier and more sustainable through meaningful innovation,” said Natasha Kwan, Regional General Manager, Philips Health Systems for Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Growth Markets, Philips APAC.  

“The multimodalities of imaging technologies to be installed at Shinagawa Philippines will enable us to deliver first-time-right, intelligent, and quantitative clinical insights. With our integrated solutions, we join Shinagawa in delivering a more confident diagnosis, and more advanced preventive care for patients,” she added.   

“Advanced technologies enable us to improve patient and staff experience and meet the increasing demand for medical imaging at a lower cost,” said Seneriza Castro, Director, Head of Sales, Philips Philippines Inc.  

“We are excited to help Shinagawa achieve these through use of the Philips Ultrasound 3300, as well as the helium-free Philips MR 5300 – which will be used for the first time by in any local facility. With these technologies, we will be able to contribute to a faster, smarter, and simpler path to a confident diagnosis and improved outcomes,” she added.  

Masako Uemori, President of Shinagawa Healthcare Solutions Corporation said, “Our partnership with Philips is an opportunity for us to address the ever-evolving needs of patients and promote a preventive approach to healthcare, through the introduction of the Shinagawa Diagnostic and Preventive Care Center in 2023.”  

Backed by Philips’ extensive experience and expertise in ultrasound, the Philips 3300 Ultrasound System is an imaging platform packed with an award-winning design set to enhance patient and staff experience.  

It is a highly versatile machine that enables clinics and hospitals to perform a variety of adult and pediatric exams – from general, obstetrics and gynecology, to cardiovascular.  

The machine’s ergonomic design enables healthcare professionals to view images with ease, without compromising the patient’s comfort.   

The helium-free Philips MR 5300 is built around the breakthrough BlueSeal magnet and integrates AI technologies to automate clinical and operational tasks.  

As the industry’s first MR system to enable helium-free operations, it reduces the chance of potentially lengthy and costly disruptions, and virtually eliminating dependency on a commodity with an unpredictable supply.  

The fully-sealed system does not require a vent pipe, significantly reducing the siting challenges presented by conventional magnets and lowering construction costs. With helium-free MRI operations, Philips delivers environment-friendly, sustainable, and more predictive maintenance. 

The machine creates exceptional quality diagnostic imaging and an automated patient-centric workflow that allow less than 1 minute patient set-up for exams.  

The Philips MRI 5300 utilizes Philips’ IntelliSpace Portal, an intelligent, automated and connected Advanced Visualization solution.  

With first-time-right, intelligent and quantitative clinical insights, it is designed to support image diagnostic confidence and advanced analysis needs. It also reduces reporting time through optimized workflows and results automation.  

Philips has developed a suite of innovative diagnostic tools that will help Shinagawa Diagnostic and Preventive Care Center provide greater than ever patient care.
