Can AI help modernise Ireland's healthcare system?
Published On Feb 27, 2025, 7:06 PM
The article discusses the state of healthcare technology in Ireland, particularly focusing on the Mater hospital in Dublin, where AI is being implemented to enhance diagnostic processes, especially for urgent medical cases. Despite Ireland being a hub for big tech, its hospitals face significant challenges, including outdated IT systems and a lack of comprehensive digital patient records. However, initiatives like Sláintecare aim to modernize healthcare by integrating more technology and potentially addressing issues like long waiting lists for diagnostics. The use of AI is promising but faces hurdles like regulatory challenges, biases, and the complexity of AI systems.
