EIC COMMUNITIES COLLABORATION AT EBN TECHCAMP 2024

The EBN TechCamp 2024 gathered innovators, incubators, accelerators, and industry leaders in Dublin for its annual event. The EIC Communities project collaborated with EBN to deliver, on 20 November,  a compelling panel discussion titled How Digital Transformation & AI are Advancing the Healthcare Sector.

The panel featured prominent speakers, including Chris Murphy (Co-founder/CEO of Bluedrop Medical), Mary O’Riordan (Founder, HaPPE), and Dr. Paul Anglim (Health Innovation Lead, Guinness Enterprise Centre). Together, they shared insights on how healthcare organisations are leveraging AI for innovation and sustainability, while addressing challenges in scaling and regulation.

The session provided a platform to examine critical topics shaping the future of healthcare:

• The impact of digital transformation and AI on the healthcare sector.
• Strategies for scaling healthcare companies and accessing new markets.
• Financial pathways for healthcare innovation, from early-stage funding (Enterprise Ireland) to advanced support (EIC).
• Navigating AI regulations in healthcare applications.
• Practical approaches to integrating AI into business operations.

The event was a valuable opportunity for participants to explore how digital tools and AI can drive healthcare innovation while addressing challenges related to scalability, regulation, and financing.
