## Questions

### Who runs Philips?

Roy Jakobs has served as CEO since 2022, taking over from Frans van Houten. Jakobs leads the Board of Management and Executive Committee. Carla Goulart Peron is Chief Medical Officer.

### How does Philips compete in health technology?

Philips competes by covering the entire health continuum with integrated systems — from diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound) to patient monitoring and AI-guided therapy tools. Its R&D spending was roughly 9% of sales in 2024, with ~50% in software and data science.

### Is Philips a pure-play health technology company?

Not entirely. While Philips has transformed into a focused health technology leader, its legacy includes consumer products (personal care, baby care, lighting) and automotive solutions, though these are separate business units. The core health technology division drives strategy.

### What recent regulatory approvals has Philips received?

In April 2026, Philips received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Rembra CT platform and for Verida, the first AI-powered detector-based spectral CT. Earlier in 2026, FDA cleared its AI solution for real-time guidance during minimally invasive heart valve repair.
