Project to transform health and wellness outcomes.
Smart D8 is led by The Digital Hub, St James’s Hospital, Dublin City Council and Smart Dublin. One of five Smart Districts of the Smart Dublin programme and an urban demonstrator for improving health and wellbeing in an urban population, Smart D8 has announced the successful applicants from their third call for pilot projects.
With a record number of 60 applications from private and public organisations, St James’s Hospital are delighted to have been selected as one of the projects.
The Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Identifier from Dr Brian Kent is seeking to reduce the wait time for a sleep apnea diagnosis, which is currently up to two years. OSA Identifier has developed an app to provide at-home data which can be reviewed by clinical specialists and both inform and speed up diagnosis and treatment options for sleep apnea.
The Smart D8 consortium is led by The Digital Hub, St James’s Hospital, Dublin City Council and Smart Dublin, together with the Guinness Enterprise Centre, HSE Digital Transformation, Tyndall National Institute, St Patrick’s Mental Health Services, Trinity College Dublin Research & Innovation, Trinity Translational Medicine Institute, National College of Art & Design, and Health Innovation Hub Ireland.
The initial work of Smart D8 focused on significant community research to measure unmet population health and wellness needs.
