This study tested a new ultrasound software that measures liver fat in children and teens aged 5 to 21 with or at risk for fatty liver disease. Researchers compared the ultrasound results to standard MRI scans to see if the ultrasound could accurately detect liver fat. If it work…

This study tested a new image-processing algorithm called Spectral Precise Image (SPI) on a CT scanner. Researchers compared the image quality and diagnostic confidence of SPI against the standard iDose4 method in 126 adults undergoing head, body, or cardiac scans. The goal was t…

This completed study tested whether Philips non-invasive SpO2 sensors can accurately measure blood oxygen levels compared to the standard method of drawing blood and analyzing it in a lab. 113 healthy adults aged 18-50 took part. The goal was to see how well the sensors work acro…

This study tested a new navigation device called AirWaze, designed to help doctors perform lung biopsies using CT scans. 37 adults with lung lesions underwent a bronchoscopy procedure with the device. The main goals were to see if the device was easy to use and if it could accura…

This completed study tested how accurately three new Philips SpO2 sensors measure blood oxygen levels. 86 healthy adults aged 18-50 participated. The sensors were placed on the finger, nasal ala, and earlobe, and their readings were compared to a standard blood measurement. The g…

This study tested a new ultrasound feature that measures liver fat and compared it to the standard MRI method. About 60 adults with or at risk for fatty liver disease had two ultrasounds and one MRI. The goal was to see if the ultrasound could accurately estimate liver fat, which…

This study tested whether a device called MYOTRACE, which measures how hard a person's breathing muscles are working, can help doctors assess patients with respiratory diseases. 56 adults with conditions like COPD or asthma were included. The goal was to see if the device's readi…

This completed study tested how accurately the Philips EarlyVue VS30 monitor measures blood pressure compared to a standard manual cuff. Researchers enrolled 99 people aged 3 to 85. The goal was to see if the device meets international accuracy standards for both adults and child…

This study tested a new oxygen sensor that clips onto the nose instead of the finger. The nose is less affected by cold and closer to the heart, so it might detect low oxygen levels faster. Researchers compared the nose sensor to the standard finger sensor in 56 adults having abd…

This completed study tested a new CT scanner (CT 5400 RT) to see how satisfied users were with its functions, ease of use, stability, and safety. A total of 190 participants aged 18 to 75 were involved. The study did not test any treatment or drug, but rather gathered feedback on…

This study tested a new AI feature called Precise Image on a CT scanner. Researchers used 30 existing scans from a previous study to see if the AI could make the images clearer. Doctors rated the image quality on a scale of 1 to 5. The goal was to check if the AI works well for d…

This study tested a software tool called AneurysmFlow that measures blood flow in brain aneurysms. The goal was to see if it can predict whether an aneurysm will fully close 12 months after a stent is placed. 132 adults with unruptured brain aneurysms participated. The tool is al…

This study gathered data from 86 hospital patients to help create an algorithm that estimates breathing rate from oxygen sensor waveforms. Participants wore standard oxygen sensors and a reference capnography device. The goal is to enable breathing monitoring without extra equipm…
