"At this year's CES we are showcasing innovations that help consumers take a more active role in managing their health and wellbeing. New innovative solutions like SmartSleep, which builds on our leadership in sleep therapy and more than 2.6 billion nights of sleep data [1] collected by Philips over the last 10 years, showcase how we are uniquely positioned to combine clinical know how with a superb consumer experience."
Philips SmartSleep optimizes deep sleep with science Unlike other sleep trackers that merely monitor a user's sleep pattern, Philips' new SmartSleep is uniquely designed with two small sensors that detect periods of slow wave sleep and intervene with clinically proven technology to boost it in real time. Philips' proprietary advanced sleep analysis algorithms, developed in collaboration with leading sleep experts and neurologists, produce customized audio tones that enhance the depth and duration of slow wave sleep. An accompanying app logs sleep improvement over time and provides tips and advice on how to get the best possible night's sleep. Already, 70 percent of chronically sleep-deprived users who have tried SmartSleep for just two weeks reported feeling less tired during the day. Further Philips innovations being showcased at CES 2018 include: Philips Avent uGrow digital parenting platform with American Well virtual care services: uGrow is designed to support parents and their baby's healthy development with actionable insights. Coming soon to uGrow's ecosystem of connected devices are Amazon Echo voice activation and the Philips Avent smart feeding kit that will automatically monitor the time, volume and duration of a baby's feeds. The recently announced strategic partnership between Philips and American Well will embed telehealth services into uGrow [4]. It means that the personalized advice provided by uGrow will include the option of a secure video call to a healthcare professional (children's medical or adult medical physician), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the service helps with scheduling a virtual consult with a lactation consultant or mental health specialist. uGrow has been named a CES 2018 Innovation Awards Honoree [5] in the 'Tech For A Better World' product category. Philips' complete oral care solution: The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart toothbrush brings together the latest in Philips Sonicare innovation and performance, giving users exceptional results with new high-performance brush heads, personalized coaching and guidance from smart sensor technology, and an intuitive brushing experience.

The Philips Sonicare app is now a 'virtual hub' for personal oral healthcare, enabling users to manage their complete oral care on a daily basis and share brushing data with their dental practitioners, for more personalized guidance and advice at their fingertips. Other solutions on display are the Philips DreamFamily solution, the new Somneo Sleep and Wake-up Light, the Philips Smart Shaver series 7000, the integrated Air Purifier solutions, the Philips Airfryer XXL; as well as a new routine in the form of a Skincare Assessment Kit.
