Health Intelligence Ireland

Health Intelligence Ireland exploits the potential of integrating geographical information system technologies, health datasets (census, HIPE, mortality etc) and statistical computations in a web-enabled and open source environment. It will provide role-based access to “health mapping” across the sector in support of service planning, epidemiology, emergency responding and research.

A public interface for infectious diseases is also planned. Following a restricted EU tendering process, the system development is being led by the HSE in partnership with UCD and NUI Maynooth. Seed funding was provided by the HRB and the HPSC (Health Protection Surveillance Cente), HSE. Contact Health Intelligence Ireland
