Royal Philips launched the Lumify smart ultrasound device, offered as part of a “novel subscription model.”
Customers with subscriptions, which Philips said start at a monthly price of $199, receive equipment from the company without having to purchase it. The basic monthly subscription includes a transducer, application, access to the company’s online portal, warranty and customer support, Philips said.
The system operates on user-supplied internet-connected Android devices which can be used to connect to transducers via USB, controlled through the Lumify app.
Lumify uses cloud sharing technology to access PACS, shared networks and system directories, and are accessible on Philips HealthSuite digital platform.
“Lumify has the potential to provide on-demand, point-of-care diagnostics in a more connected environment. We have been using the Philips Smart Device Ultrasound with our medical students. Leveraging a familiar device with portable diagnostic testing makes learning ultrasound easier for new users and more convenient for experienced imagers. I think that convenience and availability will increase the utility of this technology, improving patient care and efficiency,” Dr. Bret Nelson of New York’s Mt. Sinai Hospital said.
Philips subscription portal allows users to order more transducers and manage their subscriptions, as well as access support, training and IT services.
