Philips has announced a significant expansion of its long-standing partnership with Medtronic through a new multi-year agreement aimed at broadening access to advanced patient monitoring solutions and improving clinical care delivery. The collaboration, which originally began in 1992, reflects the companies’ shared vision of delivering comprehensive, clinically validated technologies to support better patient outcomes.
At the heart of this renewed alliance is the integration of next-generation monitoring systems and consumables into a seamless, unified offering for healthcare providers. Philips’ patient monitoring platforms already include Medtronic’s leading technologies such as Nellcor™ pulse oximetry, Microstream™ capnography, and BIS™ brain monitoring for consciousness assessment. The new agreement further enhances this integration by bundling essential consumables—such as ECG cables, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) cuffs, and batteries—with Philips Medtronic-enabled monitors. This streamlined solution is designed to reduce procurement complexity, eliminate contract redundancies, and ensure compatibility across critical monitoring tools.
Initially focused on the North American market, the partnership is set to expand globally, offering healthcare systems worldwide access to a unified monitoring ecosystem that simplifies operations and enhances patient safety.
In addition, Philips and Medtronic are launching a pledge program to reinforce their commitment to reliability and frontline readiness. As part of this initiative, all technologies offered through the partnership will be clinically validated, cybersecure, and prepared for immediate clinical deployment. This ensures clinicians can depend on the tools without worrying about compatibility or performance issues.
This collaborative approach gives healthcare professionals the flexibility to adopt trusted, interoperable technologies that meet evolving clinical needs. With both companies prioritizing safety, performance, and ease of integration, the partnership is well-positioned to deliver scalable, high-quality monitoring solutions to hospitals and health systems.
“Philips is passionate about equipping clinicians with the tools they need to provide better care to more patients,” said Sachin Chaudhari, General Manager of Clinical Applications and Devices for Hospital Patient Monitoring at Philips. “Through our partnership with Medtronic, we’re offering a fully validated, end-to-end solution that empowers clinicians to focus on what matters most—delivering high-quality patient care.”
