Philips Unveils Future Design Concepts for Easier Day-to-day Living
Care for Guests
'Daylight' is a hotel scenario for the future. The hotel industry is dominated by large chains that provide consistent service, but often lack a personal touch. Luckily, the rise of private, theme-oriented hotels is ushering in a new age of hospitality, one in which guests control virtually every aspect of their stay. New applications of technology will empower customers and provide them with better, more comfortable surroundings in which to relax and re-energize after a long journey. © PHILIPS (Photo: Capital Photos / Gerald van Daalen)
Care for Family
'Celebrating Pregnancy' is a pregnancy scenario for the future. From conception to childbirth and beyond, bringing a child into the world is both a joy and a challenge. While medical advances have made the experience safer than ever, hospital environments have hardly changed. Mothers (and fathers) are often treated like patients with an illness, rather than parents-to-be. Wouldn't it be wonderful if prenatal care and, in particular, fetal ultrasounds were as comfortable as they are exciting? And what if the entire experience was one that could be shared with the entire family, including the experience of that first view of the baby? If a picture is worth a thousand words, a 4D virtual image with audio is priceless. © PHILIPS (Photo: Capital Photos / Gerald van Daalen)
Wardrobe Care

Care for Patient
'Ambient Healing Space' is a hospital scenario for the future.Wouldn't it be amazing if, while in hospital, patients could relax, feel comfortable and focus on participating in their own care? Imagine providing patients with multi-purpose spaces where they can rest and feel comfortable - talking to their families, fellow patients and medical staff. Imagine customizable healing spaces, even in hospital rooms with more than one patient, where patients can choose privacy or sociability, and where medical information flows seamlessly from doctor to patient. Imagine a hospital room that feels more like a hotel suite than a medical ward, and where the focus is on comfort and service. Imagine placing patients in entertaining, non-confrontational environments that are tailored to their personal needs, and which put them in control of everything from lighting to audio. © PHILIPS (Photo: Capital Photos / Gerald van Daalen)
