INNOVATION IN HEALTHCARE
& THE EVOLUTION OF HOMECARE

Masterclass – 10th October, IMI Sandyford

By 2025, Gartner expects that a third of care interaction will be through virtual health technology such as remotecare monitoring. By 2027, the majority of healthcare interactions will be delivered remotely using AI. In the HSE, the focus is changing from managing “sick people” to “keeping well people, well” – with a strong desire to shift away from an “analog” healthcare system to a digital healthcare system through Open Innovation.
