Philips announces collaboration with Epic to enhance ambulatory cardiac monitoring
July 24, 2025 Philips will now offer the largest cardiac care portfolio through Epic's Aura platform CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) a global leader in health technology, today announced a collaboration with Epic to integrate Philips' suite of cardiac ambulatory monitoring and diagnostics services with Aura, the specialty diagnostics suite of the leading electronic health record (EHR) company. This collaboration will offer the broadest cardiac care portfolio of any single service provider integrating with Aura to date. Philips will deliver a new level of interoperability between its ambulatory monitoring technologies and Epic—helping providers enhance the diagnostic process and improve patient outcomes. With Philips' technology available through Aura, health system IT teams could significantly reduce the time it takes to connect with Philips [1] and give interested provider organizations the ability to order and review patients' ECG results directly in Epic. This cuts out the need for manual order and data entry, which enhances workflows for providers and streamlines data-driven care decisions. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'With this collaboration, we are advancing cardiac care in a way that simultaneously improves the clinician and patient experience,' said Stefano Folli, Business Leader, Ambulatory Monitoring & Diagnostics, Philips. 'Together, Philips and Epic can help enable workflow efficiencies that lighten cardiac care teams' load, so they can spend more time focusing on what matters most – providing direct patient care.' The Philips-Epic collaboration can also streamline cumbersome administrative tasks by automating patient activation, staff notifications, and charting – giving valuable time back to cardiology teams to spend with patients. 'When a physician prescribes a cardiac monitor, it allows patients to be evaluated for heart conditions as they go about their daily lives, even before they see a cardiologist,' said Leah Johnson, vice president of cardiology and imaging diagnostics, Epic. 'Through this collaboration, we're streamlining the clinical experience for both patients and physicians, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring that detailed diagnostic reports are readily available in the patient's comprehensive health record.' The Philips ambulatory monitoring portfolio features flexible remote monitoring and enterprise ECG management solutions designed to advance a new standard of cardiac care. By arming healthcare organizations with data and actionable insights that can transform workflows to diagnose and manage patient populations proactively, Philips' products and services help enable care delivery in the right setting, at the right time.

Irish convenience food manufacturer Greencore raises profit forecast
Irish convenience food manufacturer Greencore has raised its profit expectations for the year driven by a strong performance over its most recent quarter, the company said in a trading update. According to the company, in the 13 weeks ending on June 27, revenue at the company increased 9.9% to £511.1m. Its food-to-go category saw revenue of £360.7m (€418.17m) up 9.2%, while revenue in its other convenience categories increased 11.4% to £150.4m Overall manufactured volume grew 3.6% during the period with volume growth 'encouraging' across most categories, particularly in sandwiches, sushi and ready meals, according to the company. The company said while it remains cautious around the uncertain UK economic environment, alongside continued inflationary pressures, it still revised upwards its adjusted operating profit guidance for the year which is now in the range of £118-121m. The company's previous guidance, issued on May 15, forecasted adjusted operating profit of between £114-117m for the year. Chief executive of Greencore Dalton Philips said the company delivered 'outstanding performance' with 'particularly strong volume momentum, aided by favourable summer weather and new business wins'. Looking into the current quarter, Mr Philips said that their focus remains on 'maintaining momentum'. 'While we are mindful of an uncertain economic backdrop and ongoing inflationary pressures, we now expect to deliver a full year adjusted operating profit of £118-121m, ahead of previous guidance,' he said. In April, Greencore agreed to buy rival Bakkavor valuing the company at $1.2bn. Bakkavor had already rejected at least two previous offers from Greencore. The company also said its proposed acquisition of Bakkavor continues to progress. 'We look forward to completing the value-creating acquisition of Bakkavor in early 2026, subject to regulatory approval, and will continue to update on progress in due course," Mr Philips said. The deal is still subject to regulatory approval, notably from the Competition and Markets Authority in the UK.
