Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) and Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) today announced that both companies have entered into a framework agreement for IT-infrastructure services in China. Through its Alibaba Cloud Computing (AliCloud) division, Alibaba Group will support Philips with cloud computing services to store and process the data of certain of Philips’ new connected products and solutions in China enabled by Philips’ HealthSuite Digital Platform. The Smart Air Purifier launched in China today is Philips’ first connected product supported by Alibaba’s cloud computing services. People living in megacities, as well as people affected by allergies or respiratory conditions, increasingly want to be reassured and in control of the quality of the air they breathe in their homes. With the Philips Smart Air Purifier and the associated mobile application, which is supported by Alibaba’s powerful cloud services, people can monitor the reported city air quality index data, including the PM2.5 index, as well as the air quality in their homes. This enables users – while not being at home - to operate the Smart Air Purifier in real-time, from anywhere and at any time. Additionally, the connected air purifier can send helpful alerts to the users’ mobile device, when the indoor air quality reaches unhealthy levels or when the filter needs replacement, so appropriate action can be taken.
