19 interoperable services covering ED triage, sepsis, deterioration, bed management, oncology, waiting lists and discharge. Aligned to the HSE "AI for Care 2026 to 2030" Year-1 priorities.
on trolleys in Jan to Feb 2025 (INMO).
Ireland's first national AI healthcare strategy, published.
Digital health line item for the year.
The crisis numbers are public. The strategy is published. The budget is allocated. What's missing is an integrated AI substrate. That is what this is.
| Vendor | Domain | Where deployed in Ireland |
|---|---|---|
| Aidoc (Israel) | Radiology AI triage | Mater · 15,600+ scans |
| eAltra (Ireland) | Pre-chemo remote assessment | St James's pilot |
| Oneview (Ireland) | Patient engagement | CHI · 7-year deal |
| UiPath | RPA automation | HSE · 50+ processes |
| Qventus / TeleTracking / GE Command Centre | Hospital operations | Not deployed in Ireland |
No vendor currently offers ED triage + sepsis + deterioration + bed management + oncology + waiting-list intelligence in a single integrated system. That is the gap this platform fills.
| AI for Care Year-1 priority | Platform module | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Demand and Capacity Management | Hospital Ops · Bed Mgmt · ED Flow · Trolley Watch · Discharge Lounge | Built |
| AI scribe to cut documentation 40% | Clinical Scribe (app_10), SOAP + ICD-10 | Built |
| Support function automation (HR, finance, procurement) | Hospital ERP (app_15) | Built |
| Certified AI for radiology | Out of scope (complementary to Aidoc) | N/A |
| Contact centre automation | Out of scope v1 | Roadmap |
FastAPI + MongoDB + Kafka (Redpanda) + React 19 + TS + Tailwind 4. Helm charts ready. Linkerd mesh ready. Prometheus / Loki / Jaeger / OpenTelemetry across every service.
| Line item | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform licence + integration | €1.8M | €1.2M | €1.2M |
| HSE-side implementation effort | €0.6M | €0.3M | €0.2M |
| Total cost | €2.4M | €1.5M | €1.4M |
| Bed-days released (~1d × 20k × €1k) | €8M | €18M | €22M |
| Avoided onco readmissions (~150 × €6.5k) | €0.4M | €0.8M | €1.0M |
| Documentation-time recovery | €0.8M | €1.6M | €2.0M |
| Net benefit | €6.8M | €18.9M | €23.6M |
Bed-day value is notional throughput, not cash. Sensitivity: bed-day reduction is the dominant lever.
Already runs Aidoc. Innovation-friendly executive. Large urban ED.
12-month structured pilot framework. Pre-approved for AI evaluation. Zero up-front cost.
Three success metrics agreed at kickoff with HSE clinical sponsors. Candidates:
At week 12, if none move in the right direction by a clinically meaningful margin, the pilot terminates. No licence, no integration cost, no ongoing obligation. The hypothesis is falsifiable. The downside is bounded.
Harishankar Somasundaram, MSc Artificial Intelligence (Ireland). Built solo over my MSc. Not a commercial product. The working artefact of a thesis: Ireland's acute crisis isn't solvable by another point product, and the missing piece is a single integrated AI substrate.
State, precisely: 19 services run end to end on a developer workstation. None are clinically deployed. Models are MIMIC-IV-trained. Irish-data validation, MTS retraining, ICD-10-AM alignment are explicit Phase 1 deliverables, not assumed.
No commercial intent today. 12-week HIHI pilot at one site, falsification clause included.
