Looking for a job in the health-tech sector? Ireland has many companies from start-ups to multinationals hiring in the space.
The health-tech sector, which includes medical devices, medical manufacturing, biotech, pharma and R&D, is a very interesting area to work in. Medicine and healthcare are always evolving and so is the technology we use to treat patients.
You don’t have to have a medical background to work in health, however. The industry needs software developers and engineers with strong technical skills to work on new tech, too. For example, as part of Future Health Week at SiliconRepublic.com, we spoke to BearingPoint’s Claudia Carr about the benefits of tech integration in healthcare. Carr explained how BearingPoint, a tech and professional services company, is working to help healthcare workers leverage technology to improve patient treatment outcomes.
