WHO WE ARE
We are a group of dedicated Health IS researchers with a common interest to maximise the benefit of adopting Information Systems (IS) within community and hospital healthcare. We build on and apply lessons learnt in the business, financial, government and public sectors to identify and implement Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that reduce costs and improve patients outcomes. We are actively researching in the eHealth and mHealth areas. Ireland’s only dedicated Health Information Systems research centre focusing on People, Process and Technology. Successfully attracted project funding from Wellcome Trust, Enterprise Ireland, Science Foundation Ireland, EU FP7, H2020, Irish Research Council & Health Research Board.
