Philips and Nicklaus Children’s Health System in Miami have committed to a 10-year partnership that will see the system equipped with AI-enabled MRI, ultrasound, and patient experience technology.
Nicklaus Children’s will adopt technologies such as Philips’ Ingenia Ambition X MR and EPIQ CVx ultrasound scanners, which include AI-enabled radiology workflow software to reduce exam times and the need for rescans, according to the company. In addition, patient experience technologies such as Philips Ambient Experience, Kitten Scanner, and Scan Buddy App will be deployed to help reduce patient anxiety during MRIs, Philips said.
Moreover, Nicklaus Children’s will be the first to adopt the company’s virtually helium-free Philips Ambition X MR scanner, which never needs helium refilling and can be discharged or reenergized quickly, Philips said.
As Nicklaus Children’s is the home to the largest pediatric teaching program in the southeastern U.S., the collaboration will help train the next generation of pediatric clinicians to integrate AI-enabled tools into daily practice, according to Philips.
