New Delhi [India], October 29: As India faces a significant burden of chronic respiratory conditions, Philips, a global leader in health technology, launches Oxygenate 5 in India. Designed for people requiring long-term supplemental oxygen at home, the new stationary oxygen concentrator brings together dependable oxygen delivery with patient-centric features designed around the everyday experience of therapy. As per reports*, COPD affects around 13% of adults in India, rising to 27% among those aged 60 and above, highlighting the significant burden of the disease. 1For patients with chronic respiratory conditions who develop severe hypoxaemia, long-term oxygen therapy can be an important part of ongoing care. Oxygenate 5 is designed to support these long-term oxygen therapy needs, including in the home environment. As respiratory care increasingly extends beyond hospitals, there is a growing focus on making long-term oxygen therapy easier to manage at home. Oxygenate 5 is designed with the everyday needs of patients and caregivers in mind, offering quieter operation at less than 40 dB2, an easy-to-read digital flowmeter and simplified routine maintenance. Bharath Sesha, Managing Director, Philips Indian Subcontinent, said, For people living with chronic respiratory conditions, access to reliable oxygen therapy can make a meaningful difference to how they manage their everyday lives. As India faces a growing burden of respiratory diseases, the need is not just for advanced technology, but for solutions that make long-term care simpler, more dependable and accessible to patients. With Oxygenate 5, we are bringing innovation closer to the needs of patients and their families, recognising that effective care must also support comfort and confidence in everyday life.
