How is Philips Improving Healthcare Through AI?

The Dutch-based technology company, Philips, for many consumers is famous for their electronics: televisions, home appliances and lights. However, they are also heavily involved in the consumer health and healthcare sector, and this is where Jeroen Tas (who'll keynote at the AI Summit in London) is a pivotal player. Tas is the Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips and very kindly took time out of his busy schedule to talk to AI Business about how they are using artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector today, and how they plan to use the new technology going forward. "Since last year, we are a 100% health technology company," Tas informed us during our interview. It's quite a bold statement, but whilst speaking to Philips' Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer, it dawned on us how vital AI is, and will be, in healthcare.
