💬 “Procore is here to talk about how we’re already helping companies leverage the benefits of AI in construction.” At the CIF Annual Conference 2025, Jules Cantwell, General Manager – Europe at Procore Technologies , discussed how artificial intelligence is transforming construction project delivery, driving efficiency and improving collaboration across the industry. As the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) marks 90 years of leadership in Irish construction, conversations like this highlight how technology and innovation are shaping the next chapter of the sector’s growth. #CIFConference25 #CIF90 #DigitalConstruction #ConstructionInnovation #CIFIreland

Lisa Hoogendam and Aniek Markus are presenting their experiences at the OHDSI Global Symposium with mapping patient-reported outcomes data. Experiences from the IMI_EHDEN project with Hand Wrist Study Group - Erasmus MC - Xpert Clinics data, and for the H2O project. We are applying their lessons learned in, amongst others, the PREPARE Rehab and UMBRELLA_IHI projects. Harmonizing data enables large-scale, multicenter, federated studies with PROM data, generating more and better evidence faster!
