Royal Philips and KL International Hospital have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop next-generation smart hospital initiatives in Malaysia. This collaboration seeks to integrate advanced technologies into healthcare delivery, focusing on improving patient care, streamlining operations, and enhancing data management.
The MoU outlines a framework for both parties to explore opportunities that promote a patient-centric approach, ensuring better care accessibility and improved safety. It also addresses regulatory compliance and data security, whilst encouraging research and innovation to advance smart hospital initiatives.
Dato’ Dr. Colin Lee, Managing Director of KL International Hospital, stated, “Healthcare systems are under immense pressure to deliver timely, high-quality care. Through this MoU, we are committed to reimagining care delivery by embedding advanced technologies into our hospital care experience.”
Key initiatives under the MoU include co-creating a smart hospital and developing a Hospital Clinical Command Centre. This centre will utilise real-time patient data, predictive analytics, and workflow optimisation to support informed clinical decision-making.
Stephanie Sievers, Managing Director of Philips APAC, commented, “By partnering with KLIH, we’re creating environments where technology gives clinicians time back, enables informed decisions, and drives proactive care.”
This partnership is expected to foster long-term collaboration, paving the way for joint research and development in medical technologies and practices. The initiative aims to set a foundation for a seamlessly connected healthcare ecosystem in Malaysia, enhancing health outcomes for a broader population.
