Tipp student wins USI entrepreneur award

WIT student Jonathan O'Donnell won the award for developing a mobile app for the healthcare sector.

AppiDoc was created while the Clonmel native was on clinical placement during his studies on the institute's BSc in Applied Healthcare.

The App allows patients to manage medical appointments using mobile technology.

The HSE estimates its loss through missed appointments each year at approximately €33 million, which does not include the cost for general practitioners.
