Philips showcased the benefits of its AI-powered cardiac monitoring solutions at the Heart Rhythm Annual Meeting. Three studies highlighted how Philips' Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT) wearable ECG and AI models improve diagnosis, reduce readmissions, and lower costs. A study published in The Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research found that MCOT reduces readmissions in stroke patients (30.2% vs. 35.4% with ILR), lowers costs by USD 27,429 over 18 months, and increases survival rates.
