€5m Connected Health Technology Centre Launches
A new €5m Connected Health Technology Centre has been launched.
The Applied Research for Connected Health (ARCH) Technology Centre is funded by the Department of Jobs through Enterprise Ireland and is also supported by IDA Ireland.
ARCH is hosted at University College Dublin (UCD) where researchers from clinical, engineering, technology, policy and economic fields – with input from University of Limerick (UL) and almost all Higher Education Institutes in the country with connected health research capabilities – will collaborate to deliver on the connected health research agenda defined by its industry steering group.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton, said: "Healthcare is a key sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and we have put in place a range of measures including the establishment of a national healthcare innovation hub to support more Irish companies to establish and grow jobs.
"The technology centre we are launching today will be another crucial support for job-creation in this area. By investing €5 million, and above all by bringing together industry and researchers to work on common problems, we can develop cutting edge technologies and accelerate job-creation right across the country."
