  • March 1, 2021 RE: PHILIPS TESTIMONY for SF 1160 for SENATE COMMERCE and CONSUMER PROTECTION FINANCE and POLICY COMMITTEE HEARING
    March 1, 2021 RE: PHILIPS TESTIMONY FOR SF 1160 FOR SENATE COMMERCE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION FINANCE AND POLICY COMMITTEE HEARING Dear Chair Dahms, Vice Chair Utke and Members of the Senate Commerce and Consumer Protection Finance and Policy Committee On behalf of Philips, I submit testimony on Minnesota SF 1160. While Philips supports this bill because it reduces barriers to telehealth in many ways, my comments today will uniquely focus on the value of telemonitoring services to enhancing Minnesotans’ healthcare. Philips believes SF 1160 is a great start, but the current language limits the use of telemonitoring to certain patients within narrowly defined parameters. This testimony highlights the following topics: Telemonitoring is an important patient care solution Telemonitoring leads to cost savings Clinicians want the use of telemonitoring Other states are mandating coverage and reimbursement for telemonitoring The medical assistance rules would prevent many patients from accessing telemonitoring Philips suggested changes to SF 1160 Background on Philips: Philips is a health technology company focused on improving people’s health and enabling better outcomes. In Minnesota, Philips employs over 400 workers with facilities in Plymouth and Maple Grove. The company has been an industry leader in transforming telehealth over the last fifteen years, providing telemonitoring solutions across a patient’s care journey, from the ICU, to the emergency room, to the patient’s home.1 We applaud any legislative effort to expand telemonitoring. Telemonitoring is an important patient care solution: Telemonitoring allows providers to continually monitor, collect and analyze a patient’s physiological data to create and manage a patient’s treatment plan.

  • Case Study: Unilever1
    CASE STUDY: UNILEVER1 1. Introduction Unilever is a British-Dutch company that operates in the market of consumer goods and sells its products in around 190 countries. Another remarkable fact is that they own more than 400 brands, what means an important diversification in both risk and the products they sell, among which there is food, personal care products and cleaning agents. In fact, twelve of these brands have sales of more than a billion euros. The importance of this multinational is reflected too in the fact 2.5 billion people use Unilever products every day, being part of their daily life. They also are responsible for the employment of 161,000 people in the different countries they operate. Finally, they believe in a sustainable business plan in which they reduce the environmental footprint and increase their positive social impact at the time they keep growing. 2. History Unilever was officially formed in 1929 by the merger of a margarine Dutch company and a British soapmaker. The margarine company of Netherlands was also a merger between the first margarine factory called in the world and another factory of the same product and from the same city, Oss, in the Netherlands. The soapmaker company revolutionized the market because it helped to a more hygienic society and the manufacturing of the product was wrapped. The name of the company is a fusion between the Dutch firm called Margarine Unie and the British firm called Lever Brothers. What Unilever did, was to expand its market locations to the American Latin and Africa. Moreover they widened the product areas to new sectors such as particular food and chemical products.

  • Global Market Leaders and Drivers Diagnostic Imaging
    Global Market Leaders and Drivers Diagnostic Imaging United States, China, Europe, Russia, Brazil and India Globally, markets for MRI, CT, general radiography and ultrasound systems will all grow strongly in the next five years. The MRI and CT markets will generally be driven by a growing preference for higher-end systems, and X-ray digitization will spur growth in general radiography systems. The United States and Western Europe are large and saturated markets where growth will come from replacement purchases of systems with higher technology, while Brazil, India, Russia and China will see strong procedural growth and purchases of new systems for facilities that previously had no diagnostic imaging system. Turkey’s market, strongly influenced by government bulk tenders, will see more irregular growth. United States 2012 Market Size: $4 billion 2016 Market Size: $4.4 billion 2012-2017 Growth: 2.7% Market Leaders by Product Type and Revenue, 2012 Ultrasound Nuclear Medicine Rank MRI Systems CT Systems X-Ray Systems Total Market Systems Systems Siemens Carestream 1 Siemens Healthcare GE Healthcare Siemens Healthcare GE Healthcare Healthcare Health Siemens 2 GE Healthcare GE Healthcare Canon Philips Healthcare GE Healthcare Healthcare Toshiba Medical 3 Philips Healthcare FUJIFILM SonoSite Philips Healthcare Philips Healthcare Systems Market situation Growth will be limited by uncertainty about health care reform, concerns about reimbursement cuts and a continued decline in overall procedure volumes. The ultrasound system market will be the fastest growing segment through 2016. The comparatively low prices of ultrasound systems means they will be less affected by cost-cutting measures than other modalities. The CT and nuclear medicine systems are two relatively stable segments that are experiencing shifts in product mix.
