Clinical Safety

As digital health solutions rapidly become integral to healthcare, adhering to NHS Digital’s clinical risk management standards for health IT systems is crucial for UK health and care providers. These standards, which align with international norms for medical devices, are essential for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of digital health technologies. The complexity of these standards, particularly DCB 0129 for manufacturers, can pose significant challenges for innovators in the field.

ETHOS, under the leadership of Stuart Harrison, who played a pivotal role in co-authoring and evolving these standards internationally, offers unparalleled expertise in navigating these requirements. Our approach is tailored to respect and enhance your product development lifecycle, aiming to foster confidence and competence within your team – your most valuable asset.
