Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

ACT Smartphone App: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Ciara Murphy:

Ultimately the goal of the app is to save lives. We have collaborated with the Department of Health and we are very interested in exploring this further. A key element we have grown to appreciate over the past year, since we first began collaborating with our stakeholders, is the value and input they offer. Our role in developing the app is to ensure it will save lives and minimise the potential adverse effects of emergencies. As Saoirse mentioned, we hope to deploy it and ensure this is what it can achieve.
