The Affiniti system offers healthcare professionals quick and efficient diagnosis with low operating cost across general radiology, obstetrics & gynecology, and cardiology.

Since 2017, Philips has owned a minority interest in the company through its Philips Health Technology Venture Fund. “At LeQuest our goal is to improve the quality of care by unlocking the potential of both medical technology as well as the competence of medical staff to use devices to the limit of their possibilities,” said Hicham Shatou, founder and CEO of LeQuest. “Our partnership with Philips is an important step on our path to achieving that ambition, extending the global reach of our capabilities and providing Philips ultrasound users with a hands-on experience of its Affiniti system in a virtual environment.” Training modules are available for all models of the Affiniti system.
