CEO, Jon Avent said "I would like to share my heartfelt thanks to all of our clients and partners (commercial and clinical) over the past five years. Together, we have survived world pandemics along with challenging political and economic events!

We have also helped advance human health through the improved adoption and supply of medical devices and software. As an organisation, we have overcome many hurdles, but the company-owned Global Logistics Centre in Liverpool, UK is a great foundation for the future. We continue to provide flexible start/ stop contracts to help companies get traction in the UK and internationally”. 

This year our CEO has handed over the reins to Annaka (our MD) and Mike (our Ops Director) to drive new business and meet our existing global networks.

 Lucem Health launched Lucem Health Innovation Collaborative, a partner program designed to help digital health innovators create, deploy and market transformational solutions based on AI technology and machine learning models. 

Our CEO Jon Avent, said: “It is very exciting to be a founding member of this globally, impactful partnership.  We have already introduced two new collaborators and seen their immediate progress.”   

Artificial intelligence models are powered by data, and health data is often isolated and difficult to access. That’s why Lucem created Health Innovation Collaborative to establish a business collaboration between AI developers and digital health innovators. 

They will develop new solutions to help doctors make the best decisions, diagnose in advance, improve efficiency and serve patients better.

The AVENT MedTech team, with their work ethic, passion and expertise - and importantly, humour - is what has got us through. Onwards and upwards!'.

The team at AVENT MedTech have been commissioned by one of Enterprise Ireland's clients to undertake a market access research project - essentially a business case with evidence to justify investment in to UK market for medical software.

Jon Avent, CEO, said: 'We love these projects. Our network of NHS colleagues help us with their insights, which combined with our commercial expertise and experience enable customers to make an invaluable and informed go/ no-go decision'.

 Some of the AVENT MedTech team completed a very challenging 40km (26 mile) trek in the Brecon Beacons in just 9 hours! It involved all sorts of terrain and the team carried 30Kg rucksacks as an extra challenge. 

The trek was to support research in to Alzheimer's Disease which is linked to our passion around a project on dementia with Head Diagnostics in Ireland. Well done everybody!
