Ireland’s health service stands at a pivotal moment. With the digital transformation agenda advancing through Electronic Health Record (EHR) and patient care initiatives coupled with Sláintecare reforms and investments in integrated care, AI will emerge as a powerful enabler of the next phase of patient safety, innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
This global report from KPMG, Intelligent Healthcare, explores the transformative impact of AI across clinical care, population health, operations, and research. In an Irish context, these insights are timely. We’re already seeing early applications of AI in diagnostics, patient triage, imaging, and demand forecasting, but we have only scratched the surface.
With the EU AI Act coming into force, and heightened scrutiny around data ethics, transparency, and risk, Ireland’s healthcare leaders will need to ensure AI systems are both innovative and compliant from the start.
