About us
Health Innovation Hub Ireland (HIHI) was established by Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation and the Department of Health, supported by Enterprise Ireland (EI) and the Health Service Executive (HSE) to drive collaboration between the health service and enterprise. This unique joint government initiative, offers companies the opportunity for pilot and clinical validation studies and the health service access to innovative products, services, devices, that they may otherwise not be exposed to. HIHI works to impact Irish business and Irish healthcare in three key areas: •Industry: Through HIHI, enterprise can access Ireland’s leading health professionals who will pilot and test innovative products, services and devices. Acting as a broker, HIHI matches companies with relevant clinical teams, overseeing a study of each product in an Irish clinical setting. •Healthcare: A central part of the HIHI remit is to assess ideas and concepts for healthcare innovation from all staff – clinical and non-clinical. HIHI is an open door to all healthcare staff to assess ideas to solutions they have encountered in their work. HIHI acts as mentors and advises on taking an idea and developing it into a service or product. •Education: Through an active educational programme, HIHI is engaging right across hospital structures by teaching a new way of thinking to find creative solutions to health challenges. Delivering a series of five HIHI workshops and a diploma in healthcare innovation, HIHI is embedding an innovation culture in Irish healthcare.

Health Innovation Hub Ireland's October spotlight company is CLISTEPROBE. We are delighted to launch our latest FemTech case study on the CLISTEPROBE technology which aims to decrease anxiety for women waiting for breast cancer results with a novel biopsy device which will reduce wait times. This is timely and relevant as this October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month internationally. CLISTEPROBE has devised a novel method for breast cancer diagnosis. The Cork team based at University College Cork (UCC) and supported by HIHI offers new hope to women with their innovative breast cancer screening and detection technology. This will come as welcome news as each year in Ireland, more than 3,400 women and approximately 30 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. The new venture emerging from University College Cork and Tyndall National Institute is an Enterprise Ireland (EI) Commercialisation Fund programme. The biopsy device provides real-time diagnostic data to empower clinicians to make informed decisions during biopsy sampling by identifying benign and cancerous tissue. Millions of women around the world undergo breast biopsies following suspicious mammograms, waiting days and even weeks to get results. This causes stress and anxiety and in some cases unnecessary worry as up to 80% of these breast biopsies are benign and not indicative of cancer. The gamechanger is separating benign and malignant cases at the time of biopsy leading to a reduction in turnaround times. Dr Justina Ugwah CEO, commented on Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the benefits of CLISTEPROBE “Every day of waiting for results is a day of emotional turmoil for patients and their loved ones. By providing rapid, accurate diagnostic results, we're not just saving time – we're offering peace of mind, enabling faster treatment decisions, and ultimately, saving lives" Dr Tanya Mulcahy PhD Director HIHI Ireland and founder of FemTech Ireland welcomed the launch of the CLISTEPROBE pilot. “Supporting innovations in women’s health is the key driver of our FemTech programme, we are delighted to support CLISTEPROBE, through clinical engagement, in the development of their novel biopsy device."

Health Innovation Hub Ireland is delighted to kick off a new pilot study with Micro-Cosmos at University Hospital Galway (UHG). The Micro-Cosmos dome will help patients to sleep better in a low stimulus environment. The company is located in Nijmegen, the Netherlands and was founded in 2020. On Monday 23rd of September, Micro-Cosmos Ltd and St Finbar’s Trauma Orthopaedic Ward at University Hospital Galway began the pilot study of the Micro-Cosmos dome. The dome concept emerged from a Dutch Health Hackathon—a collaborative event at Radboud University Hospital where individuals from diverse backgrounds converge to collectively explore and address health related problems. The founding team of Micro-Cosmos consists of Eef Lamers and Skip van de Kandelaar. The company received funding from EIT Health, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology in 2023 to introduce the dome to a new country such as Ireland. Micro-Cosmos chose Health Innovation Hub Ireland (HIHI) as their partner organisation. The product, the Micro-Cosmos dome aims to provide a calmer atmosphere for patients to aid with sleep. When completely closed, an average sound reduction of 3 dB(A) is achieved. Sound spikes above 40 dB(A) are reduced by 40%. St Finbar’s Trauma Orthopaedic Ward at University Hospital Galway is the first site in Ireland to trial the Micro-Cosmos dome. The study will run for a period of seven weeks.
