The rapid integration of AI into healthcare devices raises ‘fresh ethical questions’, says Eoin O’Cearbhaill.
Dr Eoin O’Cearbhaill is the most recent recipient of the NovaUCD Innovation Award, a recognition given to those with success stories in commercialising research emerging from University College Dublin (UCD).
O’Cearbhaill is an associate professor in biomedical engineering at the UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, where his research focuses on developing minimally invasive medical technologies for diagnosing and treating disease.
He is also the director of the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, and leads the UCD Medical Device Design Group within the centre, which aims to address clinical needs by developing novel medical devices with real-world applications.
The research group has assisted in the creation of spin-out companies LaNua Medical, Latch Medical and Lia Eyecare, and has filed more than a dozen patents.
