There is 3 things Spryt are here to solve Neill Dunwoody, Co-Founder Spryt

More about Spryt:
Spryt was founded by Neill Dunwoody and Daragh Donohue, and was inspired when a friend of theirs, sadly died after missing vital hospital appointments.
The current healthcare access model is rigid and unresponsive, forcing patients to adapt to an inflexible system. In the United States alone, $1 Trillion is spent annually on inefficient scheduling and billing, perpetuating a system that fails patients and payers/providers.
Spryt is transforming the way healthcare providers communicate with patients through its innovative AI-powered ‘virtual receptionist’ platform.
Designed to reduce missed appointments and enhance patient engagement, Spryt automates appointment reminders, follow-ups, and patient messaging via WhatsApp, SMS, and RCS, all while integrating with existing systems.
The solution has already been adopted by a growing number of GPs, clinics, and hospitals across Ireland and by the NHS in the UK (260% increase in patient engagement versus traditional methods). By helping practices cut no-show rates, streamline communication, and free up administrative resources,
Spryt is making a positive impact on healthcare delivery at a reduced cost of traditional systems and is removing 80-90% of the admin burden. Now preparing for expansion into the UK, US and wider EU markets, the company’s goal is to become the default digital front door for healthcare providers across Europe.

The notebook is going to transform how you do your job Tara Gale, Client Solutions Country Lead at Dell Technologies Ireland
The PC has been one of the most important personal devices of our lifetime. From the use of standalone PCs for word processing in the 1980s to the emergence of the World Wide Web and powerful processors in the 1990s to the rise of laptops in the 2000s and the era of 2-in-1s in the 2010s, the PC has continually evolved.
Now AI is transforming the PC as we know it. AI-powered devices are helping to automate repetitive tasks, summarise documents and meetings, make adjustments to user behaviours and are enabling everyone to become content creators.

More about Paul Rice:
As the architect behind one of the most successful socially conscious initiatives, Paul turned the concept of ethical sourcing from a few Nicaraguan coffee co-ops into a movement embraced by 1,700 major brands and retailers.

One company’s solution is another company’s initiative Andrew Sheehan, CEO sustainabilityexamples.com
Did you know that the term 'Sustainability Examples' is searched 170,000 times globally per month (circa 5,000 in Ireland per month). Did you also know that
99.8% of Irish businesses are SMEs. Individually, they have small carbon footprints, but collectively, they account for 38% of Ireland's CO2 emissions (63% in Europe). While many SMEs are taking action, they struggle to gain awareness, recognition and measurable commercial advantages for taking action.
This is why Andrew Sheehan built a sustainability engagement platform (sustainabilityexamples.com) to change that. Ronan recently spoke to Andrew about his background, what sustainabilityexamples.com does, three ways of changing behaviour and more .
More about sustainabilityexamples.com:
There are two types of users on the platform: Champions and Doers. The platform helps Irish SMEs driving climate action (doers) gain more visibility, greater recognition and a faster ROI for taking action by providing a platform where they can launch, share, and compete for prominence on the homepage leaderboard through community engagement with climate-engaged supporters (champions).
By providing impact leaders with measurable recognition and data-backed commercial advantages for launching examples of their initiatives and solutions on the platform, the platform’s purpose is to encourage more SMEs to also start taking action.
