Our Story

xWave Technologies was founded in 2020 in Ireland by a leading group of radiologists who wanted to create intelligent solutions for the problems they were facing in their day-to-day work.

Led by experienced digital transformation executive Mitchell O'Gorman (CEO) with support from a world-class team with backgrounds in healthcare, finance and software development.

xWave Technologies is on a mission to save lives by ensuring that patients get the BEST TEST FIRST.

A founder’s vision for the future

xWave’s founders shared a conviction that radiology’s future would be shaped not only by better scanners, but by better decision intelligence around who is scanned, when, and why. The company was built on a radiologist's-eye view of the entire diagnostic pathway - its inefficiencies, its risks, and its immense potential for improvement.

The guiding vision remains unchanged:

To build a world where every patient receives the right test at the right time, and every clinician is supported by intelligent systems that enhance quality, safety, and speed.

That vision continues to drive our R&D today. It informs how we design products, how we choose partners, and how we push the boundaries of what is possible in diagnostic informatics.

xWave is building the future of radiology - one in which patients move through the system faster, clinicians work with confidence, and healthcare systems achieve the diagnostic capacity they urgently need.

Our R&D Story

xWave Technologies was founded with a simple but transformative belief: patients deserve the best test first. As radiologists working inside some of the busiest hospital systems, our founders saw firsthand how delays, inappropriate referrals, and fragmented pathways were costing patients time, outcomes, and - in some cases - lives. Radiology was becoming the bottleneck of modern healthcare, but the tools available to clinicians hadn’t kept pace with the scale or complexity of diagnostic demand.

The mission of xWave emerged directly from this frontline experience. Instead of accepting the status quo, the founding team set out to build technology that could fundamentally re-shape how radiology works - reducing unnecessary imaging, increasing diagnostic certainty, and giving clinicians the clarity they need to make faster, safer decisions.

From the beginning, xWave’s R&D philosophy has been:

  • Our technology direction is defined by practising radiologists who understand both the clinical nuances and the operational realities of imaging services. This ensures that every product we design solves an authentic, high-impact problem faced by radiologists, referrers, and patients.

  • xWave’s platforms are grounded in peer-reviewed research, international guidelines, and real-world data. Our development roadmap is informed by studies demonstrating high variation in imaging appropriateness, underuse of guidelines, and major gaps in clinical information at referral - problems consistently validated in European audits and NHS reports.

  • Rather than forcing clinicians into new workflows, our R&D strategy focuses on invisible intelligence: cloud-native systems that integrate directly into RIS/PACS environments and improve decision-making behind the scenes.

  • xWave’s technology does not replace radiologists - it amplifies them. From guideline-based vetting to AI-supported protocoling and Insight-driven audit analysis, our tools are designed to lift quality, accelerate throughput, and reduce variation while keeping clinical judgement at the centre.

From Concept to Category-Defining Technology

Since launching in 2020, xWave has built one of the most advanced platforms globally for referral optimisation, AI-supported vetting, and real-time radiology audit. Working with NHS trusts, national bodies, and leading academic partners, we have created a scalable ecosystem that supports the full radiology pathway - from point of ordering, to vetting, to retrospective performance improvement.

Our R&D roadmap now extends into:

  • AI-enhanced Clinical Decision Support

  • Automated Vetting & Auto-Protocoling

  • Real-time Quality and Insight Analytics

  • Large-scale referral data modelling and pathway forecasting

  • Explainable AI for transparency and governance

These innovations align with major NHS priorities - including diagnostic recovery, cancer pathway acceleration, and governance compliance - positioning xWave not just as a CDS vendor, but as a strategic partner in national imaging reform.
