Irish healthcare sustainability software company Nocomed has secured €650,000 in seed investment to develop its platform tracking carbon emissions across medical supply chains, according to Silicon Republic.

Enterprise Ireland led the funding round, joined by investors Barry Comerford of Sauleen Holdings and Cambus Medical, plus Titian Software co-founder Edmund Wilson.

The Dublin-based company emerged from Dogpatch Labs' Founders Talent accelerator in 2023, developing software that quantifies emissions embedded in healthcare procurement and operations. The platform addresses regulatory requirements whilst enabling organisations to identify emission reduction opportunities across their supply networks.

Rosemary Durcan, CEO and co-founder, noted healthcare's environmental impact contradicts its core mission of protecting human health. She stated the platform moves beyond compliance reporting to provide actionable intelligence on where emissions concentrate within complex medical supply chains.

Healthcare accounts for four per cent of global carbon output, exceeding aviation's contribution, with over 70 per cent originating from supply chain activities rather than direct facility operations. The sector faces mounting pressure from European procurement and climate regulations to demonstrate emissions accountability.

The platform ingests supply data through invoice uploads, CSV files, equipment scanning and manual entries, creating continuous emissions tracking rather than periodic assessments. This approach enables organisations to measure intervention effectiveness over time.

Dónal Adams, CTO and co-founder, described the system as infrastructure rather than a reporting tool. He explained organisations build persistent datasets that serve recurring compliance requirements, eliminating the need to reconstruct information for each audit or tender submission.

The company targets life sciences and healthcare organisations navigating the intersection of stringent regulatory standards and increasing sustainability mandates across European markets.
