Digital health and the Hollywood re-boot!
What can digital health learn from the biggest trend in Hollywood block busters, the Re-Boot. In the last 15 years Spiderman has been through three ‘re-boots’, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and now Tom Holland. Batman has managed even more changes that have brought various degrees of success (personally I thought Michael Keaton did a great… Read More
eHealth Eco-System – From a different perspective…
The eHealth Ireland Eco-System was a year old last week, a great achievement for the team to go from the germ of an idea to the formation of a self-supporting Eco-System that has seen the meeting of many ideas and organisations that have been able to be another hand on the tiller, steering the eHealth… Read More
The Bright side…
First published as a blog article on in the Health Management Institute of Ireland Journal. One of the most critical parts that must be carefully considered when creating an eHealth fabric for any care delivery system is not the latest innovation but actually how will the system react under the worst case scenario.

As I grew so did the scope and scale of my tinkering. I had more curiosity than capability and occasionally courted catastrophe. I ranged… Read More
Liquid hospital… How it could be…

He has come up with the phrase, the ‘Liquid Hospital’, which I have to say has grabbed my imagination completely. The concept of a Liquid Hospital is very much one not just… Read More
Internet of many things, research on the go…
The race for the truly smart home is on, when your fridge can create your shopping list on your phone. It can add to that list as your friend takes the last cold beer, advising you which supermarket to call at on the way home from work to pick up the best value replacement! Then… Read More
What does it truly mean to collaborate in today’s collaborative world?
Following on from the guest blog last week I have been reflecting on the success that has been made of the work done in the collaboration space throughout the NIHR and in particular my part of the organisation the CRN. Having taken a giant leap down the collaborative platform route the NIHR is now starting… Read More
NIHR Hub Migration Blog
Earlier this yeah I volunteered to project manage a migration project that would affect everybody within the Clinical Research Network (CRN). The project brief was simple, to migrate over 500 accounts from the traditionally deployed email solution to the new NIHR Hub built on the Google collaboration platform.
