Philips and Onelife Health Partner to Advance Maternal and Infant Care Through Smart Connected Solutions

Recently, VCBeat learned that Philips has announced a partnership with German digital health company Onelife Health to jointly develop innovative connected health solutions for maternal and infant care. This collaboration will focus on advancing Femisphere by Onelife, an application that serves as a year-long pregnancy guide for expectant mothers. As part of the agreement, Philips has also acquired a minority stake in Onelife Health.

Track via Onelife's Femisphere APPExpectant Mothers'Vital signs, such as weight and blood pressure, as well as other factors like physical activity levels, sleep quality, and mood.InformationFemisphere automatically detects changes and correlations in data to provide real-time feedback, such as whether contact with healthcare professionals is necessary. During the early stages of pregnancy, it identifies potential risks and complications, thereby enhancing safety for both mother and baby.

By subscribing to Onelife’s Intouch service, Femisphere users will be able to share data with healthcare professionals for rapid assessment and initiation of necessary interventions. Additionally, Intouch provides a platform for physicians and midwives to proactively access relevant patient data and test results, enabling them to contact patients directly to offer medical guidance or schedule examinations.

According to VCBeat, OneLife will also integrate relevant features from Philips’ uGrow smart baby monitor. uGrow captures data from connected devices such as Philips’ smart baby monitors and smart ear thermometers, combines it with manually entered information (such as feeding and sleep patterns), and provides personalized feedback, offering robust support for children’s growth and development.Help parents give their children the best start in life.
