Philips Cardiology: integration, innovation, transformation. At Philips, we simplify health care by focusing on the people in the care cycle — patients and care providers. Through combining human insights and clinical expertise, Philips aims to improve patient outcomes while lowering the burden on the health care system. Advanced health care solutions are a fundamental part of the portfolio for both health care professionals and consumers, to meet the needs of patients in hospitals and at home. For cardiology, that means focusing on a wide range of cardiac diseases, rather than developing isolated silos of technology. Our philosophy is simple: People-focused. Health care simplified.

Email: bwickham@isctr.org
www.isctr.org
The International Society for Cardiovascular Translational Research (ISCTR) provides an environment for collaboration and guidance among scientists, expedites scientific discoveries into clinical application, disseminates the science among the scientific community, promotes research and develops guidelines for training and certification in translational research. In our five years, we have held four annual symposiums with presentations from world-class experts, launched a new journal (Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research) and just awarded the Cardiovascular Translational Research Scholarship. This is the first cardiovascular scholarship of its kind in the U.S., intended to train a new generation of cardiovascular translational researchers. This program will be offered in collaboration by the International Society for Cardiovascular Translational Research and the American College of Cardiology Foundation. The program will enable the scholar to expedite scientific discovery to clinical application, ultimately benefitting the patient and society by providing science earlier and decreasing the developmental costs related to new devices and/or novel biologic therapies.

Health Outcomes Sciences (HOS) represents the next step in the evolution of evidence-based medicine. HOS combines multivariable predictive models created from research and outcomes data with the latest technology to impact decisions at the point of care. HOS’ system, called ePRISM®, stratifies patients into risk pools so that providers of care can assign the most optimal care protocols and scarce resources against those patients that would benefit most. Shared decisionmaking becomes much more enhanced and the patient/physician engagement increased.
