Remote patient management and personalized educationdelivered through a patient’s home television
Motiva - winner of a Medical Design Excellence Award and named one of the "Top 5 Disease Management Ideas of 2005" - is proof of Philips' investment in developing innovative technology solutions that expand the paradigm of remote patient care.

The Motiva interactive healthcare platform uses broadband television, along with vital sign measurement devices, to connect patients to
their healthcare providers and medical support system. Our goal is to turn the home TV into the patient's own personal healthcare channel or "virtual health coach."
With Motiva, care providers will be able to customize the experience for each patient and deliver personalized, engaging, media-rich content, including:
Educational material delivered as video-on-demand, with topics relevant to the patient's healthcare needs.
Timely reminders to take medications or review content prior to doctor's appointments.
Actionable feedback about vital signs measurements to help patients track progress toward personal goals.
Motivational messages from caregivers to help encourage healthy lifestyle choices for diet and exercise.
Health related surveys that test for patient comprehension and compliance, as well as provide subjective information to the remote caregiver.
Connection to friends & family will enable the patient's informal care network to better support their day-to-day healthcare needs (planned as a future enhancement).
The patient will access their personalized content via an easy-to-use interactive television interface delivered via a cable or DSL TV connection, set top box and special remote control designed for older users. A nurse care manager, using the Motiva clinical information system, will monitor the patient's condition and is alerted if follow-up is necessary.
The Motiva platform can be tailored to address a wide range of chronic diseases and acuity levels and will offer a scalable solution for remote patient care - ranging from cost-effective patient education and self-management tools to clinical monitoring with home measurement devices.
Our goal is that healthcare providers benefit from gains in clinical productivity and that patients are empowered to become more active participants in managing their disease - through their home television.
The Motiva interactive healthcare platform holds the promise to enable:
Better patient health - improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life.
Lower costs - fewer admissions and shorter hospital stays, building on the benefits of Philips Remote Patient Monitoring
Broader reach - more frequent and value-added interactions between disease management providers and their patient populations, through both automated content and customized 1:1 messaging
Improved clinical productivity - timely two-way flow of information promotes patient self-management, allowing nurse care managers to focus on urgent cases where their skills deliver the greatest impact
Patient satisfaction - patients and their families can rest assured that their chronic condition is being safely monitored, in coordination with the patient's care team.
