“A ship is safe in harbour, but that’s not what ships are built for” relevant to AI and Digital Transformation.
In ‘The AI revolution in healthcare: shaping tomorrow’s system today’ our CEO highlights how AI is transforming healthcare, offering new efficiencies and better patient care—but it shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all solution, or a binary conversation of risk versus safety. Thoughtful implementation is key to ensuring technology complements, rather than overrides, human expertise.
HealthTech Ireland is actively representing industry in cross sector roundtables and in collaboration with the HSE and HIQA working groups – supporting strategies, implementation plans and guidelines to ensure AI is adopted responsibly, with clear benefits for healthcare professionals and patients alike. The future isn’t about AI replacing human judgment—it’s about using innovation to strengthen healthcare systems while keeping people at the heart of every decision.
AI is a powerful tool. By working closely with policymakers and healthcare leaders, HealthTech Ireland for industry is advocating a balanced approach—one that addresses concerns like data security, interoperability, AI literacy and patient trust while supporting collaborative and careful deployment.
