Technology to
revolutionise medicine
Nine out of the top-ten medical device companies
have a presence in Ireland and we are one of the
largest exporters of medtech products in Europe.
Based in the west of Ireland, the home of med-tech,
is CÚRAM, the Science Foundation Ireland centre for
research in medical devices. Their aim is to develop
‘smart’ medical devices with a focus on chronic
illnesses such as heart disease, musculoskeletal and
neurodegenerative diseases, respiratory illnesses
and diabetes.
