`around the world through its business units including those described below.
`
`Philips strives to make the world heathier and more sustainable through
`
`innovation with the goal of improving the lives of billions of people. Philips
`
`approaches healthcare as a continuum where its technologies can be applied
`
`across activities of healthy living, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and home care

`
`Connected health technologies developed by Philips are employed across the
`
`health continuum. With uses inside and outside hospitals, Philips has developed
`
`technologies that empower consumers to better manage their health by improving
`
`access to and analysis of personal health and fitness information obtained in
`
`various manners.
`
`Philips as a company is organized into four segments. These are: (1) Philips
`
`Diagnosis and Treatment; (2) Philips Connected Care and Health Informatics; (3)
`
`Philips Personal Health; and (4) an “other” segment that includes central
`
`administration and certain miscellaneous operations. See
`
`https://vvww.philips.com/a­

`w/about/news/archive/standard/news/press/2019/20190110-philips-realigns-the­
`
`composition~of-its-reporting-segments.html (last visited Nov. 9, 2019). These
`
`four segments are further broken down into several separate entrepreneurial
`
`business units. The domestic business units that are relevant to this investigation
`
`include Philips Connected Sensing, Philips Lifeline, Philips Motion Biosensor,
`
`and Philips Sleep Diagnostics (collectively “Philips Business Units”). Each
`
`business unit operates independently within Philips, with each having its own
`
`offices, leadership and employees. Each ofthe individual business units has made
`
`significant domestic investments in plant and equipment, and research and
`
`development directed to the product practicing one or more claims of each ofthe
`
`Asserted Patents.
`
`Philips Lifeline falls within the Population and Health Management business area
`
`ofthe Philips Connected Care and Health Informatics segment. Philips Lifeline

`
`grew out of an acquisition in 2006, and its operations are primarily located in
`
`Massachusetts. Philips Lifeline is located at l l l Lawrence Street, Framingham,
`
`Massachusetts, and has approximately 500 employees located in the United States
`
`generating a substantial income stream into the United States economy. Philips
`
`Lifeline’s United States operations have included not only the manufacture and
`
`distribution ofthe Lifeline Devices described herein in the United States, but also
`
`the operation of call centers to provide service and support for patients using
`
`Lifeline products in the United States, all supporting United States domestic
`
`industry.
`
`Philips Connected Sensing Fallswithin the Monitoring and Analytics business
`
`area ofthe Philips Connected Care and Health Informatics segment.
