Given the rapid growth of the elderly population in Asean and Thailand, Philips sees high potenฌtial for expanding its role in the region’s medical and healthcare industry, said Dr Atul Gupta, the company’s chief medical officer for imageguided therapy. “I have seen firsthand the growing elderly population in Thailand, and in fact throughout Asia. Currently, over 12 per cent of the population in the region is over 60 years old. The ageing population means that my fellow-physicians are seeing a surge in cardiovascular issues, such as heart attack, stroke, and peripheral vascular disฌeases. The situation is similar to that in the US and Europe. Philips provides innovations to diagnose and treat patients nonsurgically, using imageguided therapy [IGT] procedures. One patient, every single second, somewhere on Earth is treated with one of Philips’ IGT solutions. This is only going to grow,” he said. Atul cited, as an example, the surgery to open … [Read more...] about Innovativeness key to be a medical hub

How bedroom colors can affect your sleep

Your sleeping problems could come from the color of your bedroom walls, as colors can create various atmospheres and can affect our wellbeing. In 2013, Travelodge conducted a survey by analyzing the bedroom colors of 2,000 Britons. It revealed that people sleeping in a blue bedroom got on average seven hours and fifty-two minutes sleep per night. Fifty eight percent of them woke up happy and refreshed, Newshub reported.
