Our Heritage
We have a strong history of innovation and this history informs the way we work today. We are an academic partner of Trinity College Dublin and have specialised services in the fields of aging, brain health, endocrinology, emergency medicine, haematology, nephrology, orthopaedics, trauma and urology.
Bridging the Gap Est. 2021
Despite Ireland’s status as one of Europe’s largest MedTech hotspots, there had long since been a lack of a centralised mechanism for engaging with stakeholders in this area.
That’s why we established Innovate Health in 2021. Download our prospectus here.
Our aim is to bridge the gap between industry, academia, and national public sector bodies, and allow innovations to be tested in the real world.
Having a one-of-a-kind innovation centre like this doesn’t just speed up innovations. It allows for open communication between developers, service users, and clinical experts meaning that the end results are better suited to patient needs.
Going Beyond the Traditional Role
Working collaboratively with product developers, Innovate Health has supported over two-hundred projects over the last two years, continuing our commitment to being a national leader in innovation.
The main goal is to create an environment for real world healthcare innovation testing.
This can be an asset for companies and start- ups that develop solutions for the healthcare sector but also for our patients and the public healthcare sector in general which faces big challenges and needs new innovations.
Innovate Health offers an outside-in and an inside-out approach where companies can make contact and get feedback from clinical experts, service users and patients and where these key stakeholders can engage directly with companies on particular challenges identified within healthcare delivery.
Every day we take ideas from inception, and shape them into cutting edge innovations.
