This year Ireland is experiencing one of the most transformative years in its digital health evolution. Multiple national programmes, major infrastructure investments, and system-wide reforms are converging to accelerate digital modernisation across the entire health service. A pivotal step in delivering an integrated digital health system has been taken as the HSE commenced the procurement process this year for a national Electronic Health Record. A phased rollout is planned across all health regions once the tender process is completed, marking  the largest digital transformations in the history of Irish healthcare.

Ireland in 2026 is undergoing unprecedented digital transformation, powered by national EHR procurement, shared care records, expanded patient-facing digital tools, major investments, and structural reform under Sláintecare. The developments of 2026 represent Ireland’s most significant move yet toward a fully integrated, digitally enabled health system.

Join us on September 17th at the 2026 Smart Health Summit where you’ll meet leaders, innovators, and decision-makers to shape the future of patient-centred, technology-enabled care in Ireland where we’ll  explore emerging technologies, new models of care, share insights and advance solutions for a modern healthcare system.
