    Frequently asked questions

    The program gives you a cost-efficient way to access the technology to keep up with advances in care and workflow through updates to your current system. This is done without incurring unnecessary additional expense because elements such as your current ceiling construction and floor plates are retained. You will also retain the workflows and user interfaces that are familiar to your team, minimizing the time and cost to retrain on an entirely new system.

    SmartPath is an economical way to enhance your existing Philips systems to current technology or increased capacities. We upgrade key components so that your system is like new. This extends the life of your old system and enables your institution to be more competitive, comparable to buying new.
