For example , Allview ’ s Tele -dermatology in Ireland reduced time to access care by 10X from 2 + years to 2 weeks and with one in five cases presenting with skin cancer this earlier detection can result in a 10X reduction in mortality and 10X reduction in costs . Similar to Moore ’ s Law for semiconductors , Curley ’ s law , whereby the application of digital technologies to healthcare consistently delivers 10X returns in terms of speed , cost-efficiency and overall effectiveness is both an empirical observation and an aspiration goal / competitive challenge for the global healthcare industry .
“ We have a lot of evidence that by using digital tools , we can make things cheaper , better , faster and – most importantly – we can create better outcomes for patients ,” Martin says . “ We ’ re putting in the plumbing , and we hope to demonstrate at scale in Ireland how you can get a fully functioning modern health system that ’ s very much focused with the patient at the centre .”
The Institute demonstrates this approach through practical applications . Working with HSE Social Inclusion with ex-NHS leader Maxine Radcliffe , a distributed clinical team supports 15,000 patients through new digitally enabled care models .
“ We believe this is the future of healthcare in Ireland , but could also potentially be the basis of a new global health system ,” Martin shares . “ The solutions we are going to demonstrate at scale in Ireland will show how you can get a fully functioning modern health
