Up to 1,500 patients to trial new HSE app

HSE chief technology and transformation officer Damien McCallion has described the app as 'the patients’ window into their information'.

The first HSE patient app will be released on a trial basis this week with up to 1,500 patients to be involved as part of a move to modernise communications in the services.

The app will eventually offer all public patients a single door into public health services. They will be able to change appointments or look up accurate health information.
