Damien shares the inside story of:

• How over 50,000 staff hours have already been saved through automation
• Why the seven-year Electronic Health Record programme is built to survive turbulence
• How AI is now detecting fractures faster than ever in Irish hospitals
• What lessons every public sector CIO and digital leader can learn from the HSE’s transformation playbook
• The secret to embedding a culture of digital safety across massive frontline teams

In this episode of Transform Gov, Maeve Kneafsey speaks with Alan Browne, CEO and co-founder of Soarvo, about how their cloud-based geospatial AI platform is helping governments and local authorities turn complex drone, laser, and video data into fast, accurate infrastructure decisions. Alan shares a game-changing case study with National Highways UK, where Soarvo’s AI and augmented reality platform replaced manual road inspections, saving £17 million in one year.

You’ll learn:

• How AI and drone footage can spot road damage before the human eye can
• Why user-friendly tools (not engineers-only systems) are the future of geospatial data
• How local authorities can roll out AI pilots for under €10K
• Why Soarvo is built to be used by road crews, not just data scientists

This is practical, affordable digital transformation in action — and it's already reshaping how infrastructure is managed across the UK and Ireland.
