It was announced today that Cerner, a supplier of health and care technology and services, plans to significantly grow its Dublin hub for research and development.

Working with the support of the Irish Government through IDA Ireland, Cerner will create 50 new roles focussed on R&D and the improvement of data intelligence and population health management for its European clients.
 
Cerner will create 50 new research and development job positions to join its Dublin-based Intellectual Property (IP) development team. New roles to be recruited include software engineers, software architects, designers and data visualisation developers, with different levels of knowledge and experience. 

Successful candidates will gain a variety of skills and receive training on relevant technology tools including different programming languages, big data and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and the Agile Software Development methodology.
 
The expertise and innovation that the company will build in Ireland will initially focus on developing advanced predictive algorithms to run on Cerner’s population health intelligence platform, HealtheIntentSM, and help clients proactively manage health and improve the wellbeing of their communities. These advancements enable a shift from reactive care to proactive health, supporting health and care professionals to take appropriate preventative actions that can keep patients out of the hospitals, reduce morbidity, and encourage citizens to take ownership over the management of their health. 
 
Speaking about the announcement, Minister for Business, Enterprise & Innovation, Heather Humphreys said, "I am delighted to see Cerner expand its Dublin operation with the creation of 50 high quality R&D jobs. This is an exciting announcement, which enhances Ireland’s capability in the healthcare IT sector. I wish the company every success in the exciting times ahead."
