“We are delighted to become part of Philips and continue innovating together to provide solutions that empower clinicians all around the world,” said Yann Fleureau, Co-Founder and CEO of Cardiologs.

“We look forward to the opportunity to expand the business as part of Philips, maintaining vendor neutrality and continuing to work with third party vendors to drive further adoption of digital health solutions globally,” he added.

Cardiologs will join Philips and will expand the company’s continued AI-focused innovation activities together with the company’s R&D lab in Paris, the company announced.
