Philips, Cuviva and Vingmed Partner for Remote Patient Monitoring in Stockholm

STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Royal Philips, a provider of health technology, announced that a consortium composed of Philips, Cuviva and Vingmed has been selected to support Region Stockholm’s hospital-at-home initiative, enabling hospital-level care to be delivered in patients’ homes across the region. The consortium was selected through a tender led by Karolinska University Hospital for an advanced remote-monitoring program serving patients with complex or chronic conditions.

The up-to-eight-year agreement will support care for more than 2 million people in Sweden’s 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 multi-partner model. By combining remote-monitoring technologies with digitally connected care pathways, the program enables patients across Region Stockholm to receive care at home while helping reduce pressure on hospitals and clinical staff throughout the region.

Philips said that 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.

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.

Philips contributes in patient monitoring, interoperability and data integration. Cuviva, a Swedish digital health company, serves as the core technology provider, delivering an IT platform that enables structured, scalable hospital-at-home care through digital monitoring, real-time communication and integration with the hospital’s digital infrastructure. Vingmed, a Nordic healthcare technology specialist, is responsible for the clinical measurement devices in the home—including electrocardiogram, blood pressure and pulse oximetry—and for the deployment and lifecycle management of this equipment across the region.

“This collaboration represents a shift in how we deliver and experience healthcare in Sweden,” said Julia Strandberg, chief business leader of connected care at Philips. “Together with our consortium partners, we’re combining digital innovation, clinical expertise and remote monitoring to reach more patients, ease pressure on healthcare systems, and create a scalable model for connected, sustainable, patient-centered care across Europe.”
