Berlin, Germany – At this year’s Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA), taking place in Berlin, Germany, from September 5-10, Royal Philips of the Netherlands (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) is presenting a range of digital consumer devices and applications across its portfolio.
“Digital technologies provide new and powerful ways to deliver more meaning and value to consumers,” said Philips Consumer Lifestyle CEO, Pieter Nota. “Consumers want to be in control of their personal health and well-being; they are looking for and expect devices and services to be personalized and smart. Philips is embracing this opportunity, commercializing connected devices and apps that make a difference to people’s lives.”
Connected Devices
- People living in megacities, along with those who suffer from allergies or respiratory problems, increasingly want to be in control of the quality of the air in their living space. With the Philips Smart Air Purifier, people can track and control air quality in real-time via their smartphone.
- With the Philips Avent uGrow Smart Baby Monitor with SafeConnect Technology, parents can stay close to their baby at all times, with the confidence that they have the most reliable, stable and secure connection.
- Saeco GranBaristo Avanti is the world’s first high-end fully automatic connected domestic coffee machine. Via their tablet device, consumers can customize their coffee drink, and expand and share their knowledge of coffee recipes.
- The newest member of the smart Hue family is Hue Beyond. It features two separate light sources that – controlled via the app – work together to deliver ambient mood lighting and functional white light at the same time.
Smart apps
- Designed to help men to style with confidence, the Philips Grooming app offers personalized shaving and grooming advice. In combination with the Philips Shaver series 9000 and our grooming range, men can get the most out of their shave.
- Supporting parents to instill good oral hygiene habits with their kids from an early age, the Philips Sonicare for Kids Brush Busters app gamifies the oral healthcare routine, making brushing more effective and fun.
- The Philips Airfryer app inspires home cooks with a variety of healthy recipes and instructions on how to prepare them. Using Rapid Air technology, meals prepared in the Philips Airfyer contain up to 80% less fat, helping families to achieve a healthier diet.
- For people who suffer from chronic or acute pain, the Philips BlueTouch and PulseRelief app enables them to choose and control their personal pain relief treatment, supporting a more active lifestyle.
