Neill Dunwoddy and his business partner Daragh Donohue recently won the Pitchfest at Himss in Rome, which is widely known as the premier global healthcare conference. Both men who are from Monaghan Town went up against Briya from Israel - a clinical research data exchange platform WHO were a considerably bigger company than the Monaghan group having raised over 17 million in their last round. According to the two local men, the recent win now puts them on everyone's radars and has opened them to a number of huge opportunities in Europe and the US.
'SPRYT' is a digital health company that uses AI to predict clinical no shows, and then uses behavioural science and linguistics to change patients minds about attending appointments. Speaking to Northern Sound, Neill said that both himself and Daragh are "very proud" that two men from Monaghan were able to pitch their company and that an esteemed panel of health experts thought their product was worthy of the win.
Neill continued; "Our system exists on instant messaging systems such as Whatsapp and Messenger, which means a patient has no app to download or website to visit. They chat with our AI ASA as if they are chatting to a medical receptionist. It’s a medical admin in your pocket available 24/7. We are also thrilled to announce our partnership with NHS North Central London on an innovative pilot program aimed at transforming healthcare accessibility. At SPRYT, we are determined to revolutionise medical administration by redefining the role of healthcare gatekeepers. We're on a mission to revolutionise healthcare accessibility, and we're doing it with our game changing Ai ASA. We believe that every individual deserves easy access to quality care, and we're determined to make that a reality. Our innovative solutions empower medical administrators, streamlining processes and freeing up valuable time for what truly matters – providing exceptional patient care . We want to make healthcare accessible for all, and we hope to build the company in Monaghan/Ireland as we bring in investment and more business."
