Improve access to care by offering Philips Extended Holter - ePatch, a simple, actionable and efficient solution part of the overall service.

Receive easy-to-read reports to help assess patients that need to be referred or maintained.

Efficient end-to-end workflow

“Everything could be done with a patient’s primary care physician. At the time of the patient’s visit, they didn't have to see a cardiologist, do an additional visit if they didn't want to. I think patients appreciated all of that.”

The need for Primary Care and Cardiology collaboration

Philips ECG Solutions can help drive faster access to cardiac care for improved health outcomes and better patient experiences with the extended Holter solution, ePatch.
