Example: telemedicine & patient app for a fintech business in Kilkenny
Consider a fintech company in Kilkenny (services and tourism). A typical telemedicine & patient app engagement would start with remote monitoring, then booking, and finish the first release with secure video — usually within 10–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Open Banking, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on onboarding completion rate, time to approve an application and fraud loss rate.

Consider a medtech company in Waterford (life sciences and it services). A typical telemedicine & patient app engagement would start with e-prescriptions, then ehr integration, and finish the first release with payments & insurance — usually within 10–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on appointment no-show rate, clinician admin time and data-sharing turnaround.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a telemedicine & patient app
Before launch in Ireland, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Ireland customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Ireland.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a telemedicine & patient app in Ireland
For clients in Ireland we usually host on AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland), Azure North Europe, Google Cloud Dublin. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
