Diversity and inclusion

Ymke de Jong (Data & AI lead, Philips Global Data & AI CoE Clinical Data Scientist, Digital Innovator in Healthcare and speaker at WiDS 2022) explains: “Data science is one of the fastest growing fields in the tech sector. It is crucial that everyone is represented here and that women are offered equal opportunities. At Philips we believe that a diverse, inclusive and committed workforce is essential for a flourishing and innovative company, helping our customers and improving healthcare.
