Philips to deliver vital technology for hospital-at-home care for up to 15,000 patients annually in Region Stockholm

The up to eight-year agreement will support care for more than 2 million people in the Stockholm region and is Region Stockholm’s first region-wide hospital-at-home initiative, designed to extend hospital-led care into patients’ homes through a coordinated, multi-partner model. By combining advanced remote-monitoring technologies with digitally connected care pathways, the program enables patients across Region Stockholm to receive high-quality care at home while helping reduce pressure on hospitals and clinical staff throughout the region.

Through this initiative, publicly owned hospitals and primary care facilities within Region Stockholm will be able to monitor patients with complex or chronic conditions continuously in their homes by enabling hospital-led clinical oversight through digital connected care. Many of these patients require continuous monitoring of key clinical parameters, including waveform data such as ECG and oxygen saturation. This data will be securely available in near real time to healthcare professionals across hospital and primary care settings throughout the region.

The solution also enables direct patient-clinician interaction through assigned care pathways, video consultations, and secure chat functionality, while tracking a wide range of vital signs to support ongoing assessment and early detection of clinical deterioration. Implemented as a region-wide program, the initiative will serve patients across the greater Stockholm area and directly support Region Stockholm’s healthcare priorities – responding to rising demand from an aging population, addressing workforce shortages, and promoting supporting equitable access to high-quality care in both urban and remote communities.

The consortium brings together Philips, Cuviva, and Vingmed – working alongside leading sensor and wearable technology providers – to deliver an advanced, patient-centered hospital-at-home solution at a regional scale. Philips contributes to its global expertise in patient monitoring, interoperability, and data integration. Cuviva, a Swedish digital health company, serves as the core technology provider, delivering a secure, advanced and fully integrated IT platform that enables structured, scalable hospital-at-home care through digital monitoring, real-time communication, and smooth integration with the hospital’s digital infrastructure. Vingmed, a Nordic healthcare technology specialist, is responsible for the clinical measurement devices in the home – including ECG, blood pressure and pulse oximetry – and for the deployment and lifecycle management of this equipment across the region.

Together, the consortium will support Region Stockholm in realizing its vision for the future of care: extending hospital-level oversight into the home across the region to help patient outcomes while easing the burden on clinicians and hospital infrastructure.
