HackRSS 2016 | Developing Viable Innovations that Improve Future Patient Care

The care and management of patients is increasingly dependent on the use of modern and innovative supports that healthcare professionals can easily access during their normal working day online or through their smart devices. Having useful, detailed and clinically accurate information to hand can improve patient care by helping healthcare professionals make rapid and informed decisions.

At this event,  we invite you to develop an idea for a novel, innovative resource that has the potential to improve healthcare and/or the patient experience in Ireland.  It can have commercial appeal but more importantly it will be used by future healthcare professionals on a daily basis to improve patient care. 

The innovation will  be pitched to a panel of experts, our own RCSI Dragon’s Den, who will select the best innovation presented to them.
