Health technology company Royal Philips partnered with Lake Oswego, Ore.-based Biotronik, a medical device business, to "expand care for out-of-hospital cardiology labs," they said June 21.
The alliance will scale up Philips' SymphonySuite, the name for its "market-leading solution for opening and expanding cardiovascular office-based labs and ambulatory surgery centers," according to a news release. SymphonySuite will now include Biotronik's cardiovascular products.
Philips said the strategic alliance will help meet the growing trend of healthcare businesses shifting procedures to outside of their hospitals.
