Heart Rhythm Ireland (HRI) CEO Robert Kelly’s chance meeting led to a collaboration with IBM, propelling the cloud-based cardiac device management company into a new phase of growth. With 15 years of experience, HRI monitors implantable cardiac devices for over 65,000 patients in Ireland. The company also serves as the National Registry for Implantable Cardiac Devices.
Despite its strong market position, HRI faced technological challenges that hindered its growth. IBM recognized the value of HRI and collaborated with the company to introduce innovative solutions such as IBM Cloud CodeEngine and IBM Cloud Secrets Manager. This partnership enabled HRI to streamline its processes, allowing doctors to review patient data up to 75% faster than before.
The partnership with IBM and RedHat also addressed hospital concerns regarding IT security, paving the way for global scalability. Building on this success, HRI plans to expand its services across Europe and Australia. Leveraging IBM’s Watsonx data and artificial intelligence platform, HRI aims to enhance customer service and introduce predictive analytics for doctors through virtual assistant technology.
By embracing the power of partnership and innovation, HRI is poised to revolutionize cardiac device management on a global scale. The collaboration with IBM has transformed the company’s platform, paving the way for exciting new possibilities in the healthcare technology sector.
