Strategic alliances expanding Smart Sleep suite of solutions aim to address approximately 80 percent of all sleep issues
Sleep deprivation is recognized as a population health issue by the clinical community. Nearly 40 percent of individuals in the US alone report difficulty in maintaining a sufficient amount of sleep consistently, while 47 percent have expressed a desire to improve sleep quality. Using nearly 40 years of deep clinical expertise in sleep technology and the knowledge from partners, Philips is aiming to make better sleep accessible for everyone.
John Frank, Business Leader, Sleep and Respiratory Care at Philips Said, By expanding our suite of consumer sleep solutions and teaming up with other like-minded companies who prioritize preventative health, we can help people realize the true power of their sleep.
“At Philips, we believe there is always a way to help people achieve balanced, energetic and healthy lives,” said John Frank, Business Leader, Sleep and Respiratory Care at Philips. “Just like food, water and air, sleep is essential for survival, and yet it is often the first health pillar to be compromised. By expanding our suite of consumer sleep solutions and teaming up with other like-minded companies who prioritize preventative health, we can help people realize the true power of their sleep.”
At CES 2019, Philips announced several strategic alliances which support the company’s commitment to help people sleep better.
