Healthcare software provider Dedalus has announced a €10 million investment plan for Ireland.
The expansion – backed by IDA Ireland – will create 100 jobs over four years, scaling the company’s presence across software engineering, product management, clinical informatics, data and analytics, cybersecurity, and implementation services.
Dedalus partners with the HSE and a range of hospitals across the country. In 2021 it acquired the online healthcare appointment platform Swiftqueue, which manages over four million appointments annually across Ireland’s healthcare system.
Dedalus is Europe’s only large-scale provider of electronic health records (EHRs), with applications used in the care of one in three European citizens. The company’s strong European roots offer Irish patients and policymakers the added assurance that data remains within Europe, fully compliant with EU data protection laws.
The company is actively shaping European digital health policy through its leadership in initiatives such as the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and the European Electronic Health Record Exchange. Its AI tools are developed using European health data and are fully aligned with the EU AI Act, ensuring ethical, secure, and localised innovation.
Cathy McCartan, executive director, Dedalus Healthcare Ireland, said: “Ireland is central to our mission to help healthcare systems deliver safer, more connected care. This investment allows us to expand our Irish team and capabilities – supporting hospitals and community services with interoperable electronic health records, diagnostics and imaging platforms, clinical decision support, and integration services. By helping unlock the full value of Ireland’s healthcare data, we can improve outcomes for patients, strengthen system-wide decision-making, and deliver real value to the country. We’re excited to grow here and to export Irish-led innovation across our wider European network.”
Dedalus is also the only large-scale EHR vendor that is an active member of OpenEHR International, the global community and standards organisation that develops and maintains specifications for the design, exchange, and storage of health records.
Michael Lohan, Chief Executive, IDA Ireland, said: “Dedalus’s decision to expand in Ireland underscores IDA Ireland’s track record and reputation as a leading location for digital health and enterprise software. These highly skilled roles will contribute to innovation in patient care and strengthen Ireland’s position within a dynamic European health-tech sector. IDA Ireland is pleased to support this investment and looks forward to Dedalus’s continued success.”
