The HealthLab initiative is a step towards healthier living in the region. 

Learning CPR and using AED

With various measurements and tests, visitors bring their fitness into focus. They learn what physical exertion does to the heart and heart rate, and blood pressure is measured. The AED is also demonstrated and visitors are given the chance to perform CPR themselves with the assistance of argumented reality.

The Philips Museum is open Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 17, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is the regular cost of admission ticket. The event is educational and inspiring for both children and adults.

HealthLab was created with collaborative partners Heart Foundation, Brainport Bereikbaar, museum volunteers, and Philips colleagues from Research and from Design, all committed to inspiring children and their caregivers with activities related to the heart and a healthy lifestyle.
