The site will serve as a global Centre of Excellence for cardiac digital health, supporting the development of advanced software solutions advancing care for patients with implanted cardiac devices.
Global healthcare technology company Medtronic has announced the establishment of a European software development hub in Galway for its Patient Care Systems (PCS) function.
The establishment of the hub will generate 85 new roles at the Galway site, in areas such as leadership, software engineering and systems reliability positions. The site, which will serve as the global Centre of Excellence for cardiac digital health, will focus on developing cloud-based platforms and clinical software that connect devices, clinicians and patients in real time.
Commenting on the announcement, Alex Mann, the vice-president of Patient Care Systems, said, “It gives me great pleasure to announce the establishment of our Patient Care Systems software hub in Galway, which will serve as a key part of our global organisation. This investment reflects our confidence in the exceptional talent, strong engineering heritage and collaborative ecosystem across the West of Ireland.
“PCS in Galway represents far more than an expansion of our footprint. Our vision is to build an enduring software capability that advances cardiac care, accelerates innovation and delivers solutions that empower clinicians and improves patient outcomes worldwide.”
