Minister of State at the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation John Perry today announced that ResMed Inc., a global leader in the development, manufacturing and marketing of medical products to combat sleep and respiratory disorders, is expanding its Research Development and Innovation (RD&I) facility in Dublin over the next three years, with the creation of up to 50 new RD&I positions.
The new jobs created will facilitate the development of a unique technology platform based on non-contact sensors designed to manage patients with chronic diseases in their home and will be carried through all stages; product standardisation, development of software algorithms, clinical trials and engineering for commercialisation. It will therefore rank among the most comprehensive medical device development projects ever undertaken by a multinational company’s in Ireland.
Minister Perry said:
Today’s announcement from ResMed, a leading global Medical Technology company, to expand and invest in their Dublin facility, with the creation of additional 50 high-value Research Development and Innovation jobs, is a key example of the Governments Action Plan for Jobs. By developing and deepening the impact of multinational companies in Ireland there is increased potential for job creation and today’s announcement demonstrates this.
