White coats and healthcare Before the doctors come in

Arvind Vaishnav, Vice President, Head of Philips Innovation Campus (PIC) Bangalore gives a quick X-ray of how distributed care, decentralisation, AI, vendor-neutrality, remote diagnostics and interoperability are going to define healthcare in a post-pandemic world.

What is happening at the lab in India— any highlights from the last 2 years and what is about to come? What are you most excited about?

From being known as a software power house to a strategic partner for our business units, markets, and clients, the Philips Innovation Campus – Bengaluru (PIC-B) is at the forefront of the company’s digital transformation into a global leader in healthcare. Post-pandemic, we are embracing a hybrid work model, working towards a future-proof and flexible work culture. Inperson collaboration and camaraderie are necessary, especially in today’s scenario where time-to-market, and ideas-to innovation are accelerated. I am really excited to see lot of ‘communities of practices’ like Artificial Intelligence (AI), product leadership, project management etc. within the campus to be active and intentional in pursuing shared goals. In addition, there is,of course, renewed interest in organizing hackathons, roadshows etc., which are pushing the frontiers of innovation.
