Health-tech start-up xWave Technologies was formed just as healthcare systems around the world received an urgent dose of digital transformation.
“The vision of xWave Technologies is to deliver smart healthcare platforms that empower patients and their clinicians to access the best healthcare solutions at the touch of a button,” said CEO Mitchell O’Gorman.
This Dublin-based health-tech start-up has already raised €600,000 in pre-seed funding, primarily from medical and business professionals. “This has allowed us to develop the platform, implement inside hospitals and set the stage for rapid growth,” O’Gorman added.
Former Davy Group chief executive Tony Garry has resigned as chairman and director of BES Management, a joint venture between Davy and BDO for managing investments under the Employment and Investment Incentive Scheme (EIIS).
He departed the board of the company on March 8, just six days after Davy was fined €4.13m and reprimanded by the Central Bank for a controversial 2014 bond deal in which he participated. His resignation was confirmed by a spokesperson for BES.
The news follows his departure from the board of the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, which was reported in the
Sunday Independent, and the resignation of his colleague Brian McKiernan from the provost’s council at Trinity College Dublin and the governing council of the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital in Dublin.

Former Davy stockbrokers chief executive Brian McKiernan has resigned from the Provost’s Council at Trinity College Dublin and the board of a Dublin hospital in the wake of the bond deal scandal.
Mr McKiernan stepped down as a member of the advisory council at the university and the governing council of the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital on Adelaide Road in Dublin.
Property developer Paddy Kearney, who sued Davy
Kearney was told just after doing the deal that he could have got a much higher price of 32c in the euro, but by then it was too late. He later sued and the firm settled the case.
Davy was last week fined €4m by the Central Bank over the episode. It was the largest financial penalty ever imposed on an Irish broker.
The Central Bank has not named the 16 people involved in the bond deal, but key players at the firm include some of the leading figures in the financial world in Dublin. Among the luminaries who quit in the days after the fine was imposed was the deputy chairman Kyran McLaughlin, a 75-year-old veteran dealmaker who in the past was described as the “most powerful man in Irish stockbroking”.
