Philips is broadening its patient monitoring ecosystem’s range of wearable and out-of-hospital monitoring technologies through a raft of new partnerships.
The Netherlands-based medtech company said the partnerships with Blue Spark Technologies, Caretaker Medical, Cuviva, LifeSignals, Respiree and smartQare will expand its existing connected care ecosystem’s continuous patient measurement provision with additional tools to support continuous patient visibility from hospital to home.

Under the partnerships, existing solutions within Philips connected care ecosystem, such as Philips mobile cardiac telemetry (MCOT) tool for monitoring cardiac patients, will be advanced with further tools to support patient monitoring protocols following their discharge from hospital.
Products that will be integrated into Philips existing remote monitoring ecosystem under the new partnerships include Blue Spark’s TempTraq wearable patch for continuous core body temperature monitoring, LifeSignals’ UbiqVue multiparameter biosensor, and Caretaker Medical’s VitalStream wearable for continuous blood pressure and advanced haemodynamic monitoring.
Noting that maintaining visibility into patient status across the care continuum as healthcare systems expand higher-acuity services beyond traditional hospital settings is increasingly important, Philips said the new product integrations will give health systems greater flexibility to deploy and scale monitoring programmes using technologies that “best fit their clinical and operational needs”.
Philips also anticipates that connecting the additional tools into its patient monitoring ecosystem will give it the capability to translate more data points into actionable care intelligence, which will allow better care coordination.
Sangdo Kim, category leader, nextgen acute and transitional care monitoring at Philips, highlighted that monitoring is “no longer just about what happens at the bedside”.
“Healthcare organisations need a more connected approach that helps clinicians maintain visibility into patient status across care settings,” Kim said.
“By building an open, enterprise-wide ecosystem that connects technologies, data and workflows, we can help deliver continuous patient insight, support smoother transitions in care, and create a more coordinated experience for clinicians and patients,” he continued.
GlobalData analysis reveals that the global patient monitoring market is growing at a CAGR of 1.9% and projected to reach a valuation of around $25.4bn in 2035, up from around $21bn in 2025.
