OnWard Education is an Irish health technology company developing AI-powered solutions for healthcare education. Inspired by his own experiences as a medical student and junior doctor, Jake founded OnWard to address persistent challenges in clinical training, including inconsistent feedback, variable clinical exposure, and a lack of meaningful educational data to support learners and institutions.
Drawing on lessons from frontline clinical medicine, educational psychology, and advances in artificial intelligence, Jake’s work focuses on bringing proven learning principles into the digital age. Through OnWard, he is exploring how low-stakes, high-repetition learning, personalised feedback, and educational analytics can be combined with modern AI to enhance clinical training, support competency development, and provide educators with deeper insights into learner progression and educational outcomes.
