PHILIPS

Philips is the leading manufacturer of medical alert systems with a strong focus on innovative products and invests a significant amount in R&D activities. The company has a wide geographic presence with operations in more than 100 countries, thereby reducing the company’s exposure to geopolitical and socio-economic risks. Philips has a growing inclination toward strategic business initiatives, such as collaborations, acquisitions, and partnerships, to enable the growth and consolidation of medical alert systems. In August 2019, Philips acquired the healthcare information business of Carestream Health (US), a healthcare imaging company. This acquisition helped Philips expand its portfolio of current enterprise diagnostic informatics solutions and enhance the medical imaging and healthcare IT solutions.

CONNECT AMERICA

Connect America is among the leaders in the medical alert systems market. The company has an established brand name and a wide network of distributors of medical alert systems across the world, with several trademarks and patents. These trademarks and patents provide the company exclusivity over its products and prevent its competitors from copying or reverse engineering. By acquiring new businesses for expansion, the company seeks to target business-to-business (B2B) and connected healthcare markets, where there is a scope to earn higher profit margins. In January 2019, the company acquired Tunstall Americas (US), an established player in the connected health services domain.
