Philips Unveils AI-Driven Verida Spectral CT, Revolutionizing Diagnostic Precision at World Health Expo Dubai 2026
Philips has introduced the Verida, the world’s first detector-based spectral CT system powered by advanced artificial intelligence, at the World Health Expo in Dubai. This innovative technology enhances diagnostic precision by integrating AI throughout the imaging process, from acquisition to reconstruction. The Verida system is capable of reconstructing 145 images per second, allowing for the completion of entire exams in under 30 seconds, thereby facilitating up to 270 exams daily. The system also significantly reduces radiation doses without compromising image quality and decreases energy consumption by up to 45%.
The Verida CT system aims to set a new benchmark in imaging quality and efficiency, as stated by a Philips representative. The integration of AI into the radiology workflow is designed to assist clinicians in detecting and characterizing diseases earlier, minimizing variability in diagnoses, and supporting efficient treatment pathways—all within a single scan.
Diagnostic Precision to the Point of Care
In response to the growing demands of the UAE’s healthcare system, Philips is also showcasing several advanced point-of-care solutions that deliver diagnostics directly to patients. The Philips Radiography 7000 M, a premium mobile X-ray system, utilizes smart automation and AI to alleviate physical strain on healthcare staff while increasing patient throughput by up to 37%. This aligns with the region’s priorities for enhanced healthcare access and operational efficiency.
The Flash 5100 Point of Care Ultrasound system combines exceptional image clarity with smart automation and a portable design, featuring intuitive touchscreen controls. This system enables clinicians to perform and document exams in real time, making it particularly suitable for high-pressure environments.
Building on the Transcend platform, the Philips Transcend Plus Release integrates AI and intelligent automation into the EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx cardiovascular ultrasound systems. This integration delivers rapid, reproducible results with high image quality and enhanced decision support.
A Philips representative emphasized that the Transcend Plus solution embodies healthcare providers’ belief in AI’s potential to alleviate the burden of cardiovascular disease. The system enhances workflow efficiency and diagnostic accuracy across various care settings, from echo labs to outpatient clinics and long-term care facilities.
Collaboration Live, part of Philips’ portfolio, facilitates secure, real-time remote specialist guidance from any Philips ultrasound system. Shared interfaces and compatible transducers help eliminate learning curves between systems, addressing workflow challenges and ensuring consistent diagnostic capabilities from major hospitals to community clinics.
Connected Healthcare Ecosystem Across Care Settings
Philips is also presenting a comprehensive solutions portfolio designed to support coordinated care pathways within the region’s diverse healthcare ecosystem. This includes Integrated Healthcare Informatics platforms that enable seamless data exchange between patients and practitioners across all devices. These platforms transform clinical data into actionable insights directly integrated into clinical workflows.
The Philips Capsule Medical Device Information Platform captures streaming clinical data from nearly any patient device, providing contextually rich data for various applications such as alarm management, decision support, clinical surveillance, retrospective analytics, and research.
The Integrated Diagnostics offering unifies radiology and cardiology workflows into a cohesive solution. To enhance operational efficiency in radiology, the Philips Radiology Workspace combines AI-powered insights, advanced visualization, interactive reporting, and integrated scheduling and ordering. In cardiology, Philips’ capabilities extend across echocardiography, cardiac CT, and interventional cardiology workflows, demonstrating how integrated data and analysis tools can foster collaboration, standardization, and continuity of care across imaging services.
Philips is also showcasing Digital Pathology solutions that facilitate the transition to fully digital workflows, enabling deeper insights and unlocking the potential for integrated diagnostics. These solutions promote interoperability with cloud and AI technologies, providing clinicians with data-driven insights to expedite the journey from images to answers.
The Comprehensive Image-Guided Therapy solutions enhance minimally invasive procedures, including the Azurion Release 3.0, which reduces patient preparation time and accelerates procedures by 17%. This technology is particularly transformative in stroke care, enabling direct-to-angio-suite treatment to minimize critical time-to-treatment in emergency scenarios.
Additionally, Philips is displaying Patient Monitoring solutions, including the award-winning IntelliVue Patient Monitor 6500, designed for flexible monitoring across various care settings. The IntelliVue MX850 bedside monitor, featuring multi-display and multi-user capabilities, is tailored for high-acuity patients and demanding interventions.
A Philips representative noted that the UAE’s healthcare transformation is gaining momentum, with innovations unveiled at WHX Dubai aimed at accelerating this progress. By connecting care across settings and embedding AI into clinical workflows, Philips is committed to helping healthcare teams deliver predictive, personalized care, allowing them to focus more on patient interactions.
