Overview
The Phillips Trilogy 100 was the first real opportunity for patients to seek portable at-home respironics without on-site care providers. Despite at-home care, the Trilogy 100 connects wirelessly with Phillips’ Care Orchestrator, their HIPAA-compliant cloud-based patient management system that can share data with care specialists and clinicians in real-time. It also allows complete portability thanks to internal and external batteries that allow disconnect from AC power– perfect for wheelchairs and other mobile requirements. Even without immediate clinical supervision, Phillips’ AVAPS-AE technology–an auto-titration mode of non-invasive ventilation with multiple algorithms that work simultaneously– automatically adjusts to breathing. Auto EPAP proactively adjusts to the lowest effective pressure for peak comfort, and Auto Backup delays a machine breath until the patient has exhaled to reduce air trapping. Despite its obtuse and clunky shape, the Trilogy 100’s user interface is simple yet intuitive, and allows waveforms to be seen on-screen for on-demand information.
