At Health Lab 2026 in the Philips Museum, children and families recently stepped into fun and friendly healthcare scenarios to learn how to spot a stroke, build healthy habits and better understand what recovery can look like. By turning complex health topics into playful experiences, people can feel and remember. This is just one way Philips is helping the next generation recognize symptoms earlier, because it can save lives. From hands-on ultrasound scanning to immersive VR simulations, scroll through the photos to see the event in action.

Early detection matters. Stories like Shira Kupperman Boehler’s are a powerful reminder that lung cancer doesn’t always look the way we expect. An active runner and lifelong non-smoker, her diagnosis came as a surprise—but a routine scan helped catch it earlier. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., yet screening rates are still far too low. We’re proud to support conversations like this—and to help deliver better care for more people.
Last night, patient advocates, clinicians, health system leaders, and policymakers came together at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for an event around one simple truth: Early detection saves lives. Philips was proud to amplify the voice of lung cancer survivor Shira Kupperman Boehler in a conversation with Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and Shira's physician, Dr. Kim Sandler, Director of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Lung Screening Program, that was deeply human and deeply urgent. An avid runner and lifelong non-smoker, Shira didn't fit the typical profile of a lung cancer patient, but a routine health scan revealed a small mass that would have otherwise gone undetected. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in America, yet screening rates are critically low. Not because we don't have the technology to expand lung cancer screening at scale (we do), but because we've historically blamed lung cancer on a patient's behaviors...it's a disease shaped by stigma when tens of thousands of patients, like Shira, are diagnosed annually despite no history of smoking at all. Her story reminds us why a cultural shift, alongside access to screening and early detection technology, is paramount. Early detection using low-dose CT screening can reduce lung cancer mortality dramatically. That's why Philips showed up last night. When we design care around people and bring technology where it's needed most, we change lives.

🦷 Fun fact: When you’re asleep, your mouth is not. During sleep, saliva flow drops. Without it, bacteria moves right in and continues to grow along teeth and gums. Which is why brushing at night is so important. The startling truth is, manual toothbrushing can leave up to 50% of bacteria behind, which multiplies as you sleep. This routine blind spot has real consequences that can affect your overall health, breath, and confidence. Which is why having the right toothbrush matters. Innovations like Philips power toothbrushes help improve oral health worldwide. Just one of the many ways we’re helping deliver better care to more people. 🕘 When do you brush your teeth?

At the Lake Nona Impact Forum, healthcare leaders explored this unique moment in healthcare. It is a time when we can reimagine clinical workflows and delivery models to harness the power of AI, expanding access to care and reducing strain on both patients and clinicians. Philips North America Chief Region Leader Jeff DiLullo was part of a very personal dialogue about the often unappreciated third party in our healthcare system - caregivers. Caregivers bring an often-unseen support structure to healthcare - one that is irreplaceable and also needs our support. When we innovate with not only patients and providers, but caregivers in mind, it opens new opportunities for more effective, compassionate care.
Caregiving is personal – and it changed the way I think about healthcare. In 2020, my wife, Linda, put her career on hold to care for her father, John, following his lung cancer diagnosis. For 5 years, Linda drove 10 hours between Tennessee and Alabama every few weeks, taking John to treatment and appointments more than an hour away, while managing medications, coordinating appointments, answering late-night emergency calls, cooking, cleaning, paying bills and more. This experience, I know, is not unique to my family. Last week, I got the opportunity to join a panel on the challenges facing caregivers at the Lake Nona Impact Forum, and it was sobering (but not surprising) to see the vast majority of hands in the audience raised when Richard Lui asked who was a caregiver. What stuck with me most from our conversation at #LNIF26 is how painfully clear the gaps are for caregivers in our healthcare system…but also how they show us where we can make immediate, positive impact: ✔️ We need health systems, innovators, policymakers and payers to come together as a community and find solutions. ✔️ We need a system that actually includes caregivers in technology design, care delivery, planning and policies. ✔️ We need reimbursement structures that recognize their role and technology that meets them where they're at. ✔️ We need scalable pathways to bring care closer to home, reducing ER visits and lowering operational strain. Caregivers represent a huge part of the care delivery ecosystem (as many as 1-in-4 Americans), filling the gaps the system has not designed for yet. As leaders, we can help build models that hold them up – but the whole ecosystem has to come together to make it happen. We can learn a lot from the Elizabeth Dole Foundation and how they are bringing their learnings with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to the broader healthcare ecosystem. Thanks to Steven Schwab and EDF for leading the way.

The moments that matter. In sports, even the tiniest milliseconds can make a difference. The same goes for #healthcare. As the world’s best athletes gather, dreaming of medals and victory, at Philips we think about how every day, clinicians are responding quickly to get competitors performing at their best. We’re helping with the #medtech innovations they need, such as imaging equipment, for a faster and more accurate diagnosis. Helping to get athletes back up and into action as soon as possible is just another way we’re helping deliver better care for more people. #HealthcareInnovation

Launched in 2025 with the Philips Foundation and MedShare, the program strengthens U.S. healthcare readiness by helping ensure critical medical supplies are available when disasters strike. On this MLK Day of Service, and during the year of America’s 250th birthday, #ActsOfCare like these reflect the power of people coming together to support communities and help care continue when it’s needed most. Learn more about how our Disaster Relief Program is creating impact with care. #MLKDayOfService #ActsOfCare #America250
