According to the International Trade Administration, Ireland has been emerging as a great leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) through academic and industrial Research and Development. In a list of 62 countries, Ireland was 12th and 3rd in Europe for AI capacity, investment, and innovation. There has been increasing demand for AI solutions across business, industrial, and public areas in this country, with over 40% of companies using AI technology already.(1,2)
Teckro, a company located in Limerick, Ireland, founded in 2015, offers an artificial intelligence platform to manage clinical trials and analyze data for drug development. It was created to develop safer, more efficient clinical trials.Their mission is to modernize and simplify clinical trials, their vision is to engage physicians in research, and their value is found in the impact they make when doing the right thing and being responsive.(3)
Their model was created around the thought of their CEO and Co-Founder, Mr. Gary Hughes, who said, “In design, simplicity is achieved by removing instead of adding. At Teckro, we are applying the same concept of design simplicity to address today’s broken clinical trial process.” The Teckro platform has become a very trusted platform as it has facilitated the way to make better informed decisions, improve protocol compliance, and preserve the integrity of the data. By 2023, Teckro has become number 11 on the top 20 research platforms with more than 34,000 study sites worldwide.(3)
Another company that has developed AI concepts in Ireland is OneProjects, located in Dublin and founded in 2018. The company aims to improve the point of convergence of healthcare, software, and hardware to innovate with its vision and passion for the next generation of healthcare.(4)
OneProjects focuses on improving the treatment of Cardiac Arrhythmias; they understand that a disease such as Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), with a prevalence of 38.8 million people, needs attention from the healthcare industry. This company has been developing VERAFEYE to take the treatment of AFib to a new level by improving patient outcomes, decreasing healthcare system costs, and improving the overall safety of the interventions.(4)
Patholytix was created to optimize AI in the field by providing high-quality, efficient reporting, improved patient care, and accelerated drug development. This company started in Dublin, Ireland, in 2017. Since then, it has been a provider of digital pathology software that provides on-demand access to remote pathologists for primary and secondary consult services.
Patholytix has been called “the best digital pathology platform” in the world of regulated pathology research because it provides a complete GLP-compliant workflow with the capacity to have integrated AI screening.(5)

Xenon is a company located in Carlow, Ireland, founded in 2020. This company created smart devices to set stations for fever detection. One of the most popular devices was Xenon Fever Defence, which helps users measure skin temperature and detect fever. The device contains infrared thermal imaging cameras in combination with artificial intelligence detection technology. Thus, it claims to be smart, safe, and simple to use. This device provided a way to ensure safety and peace of mind among industry leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to provide safety and convenience for visitors and staff members of any location.(6)
Abi was developed in 2016 by two experienced health technology entrepreneurs with a vision of making healthcare accessible for everyone by lowering barriers and innovating to create better tools.
Their services were designed to be readily available whenever they are needed by integrating apps and websites people are already familiarized with. Abi uses AI and Machine Learning to improve the speed and effectiveness of healthcare, making telehealth remarkably better. This company provides a remote physician consultation platform, which allows patients to have immediate access to medical information and remote text, call, and video with a global network of physicians worldwide.(7)
