Transforming the Path to NHS Market Access

We’re thrilled to spotlight ORCHA Health, one of our esteemed alumni, for their incredible contribution to the digital health landscape. In collaboration with NHS partners, ORCHA has launched the Digital Health Innovation & Compliance Portal (DHIP) – a groundbreaking platform designed to streamline market access for innovators and empower NHS organisations with trusted digital health solutions.

The DHIP serves as a comprehensive, one-stop platform where NHS organisations can quickly find solutions that meet the necessary compliance standards required for NHS adoption. These include adherence to frameworks like NHS Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC), DCB0129, GDPR, ISO standards, NICE EVA, and medical device regulations. By ensuring that all applications listed are fully vetted for safety, privacy, and technical compliance, the portal provides a trusted resource for NHS decision-makers seeking to integrate the latest technologies into their healthcare services.

In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, the DHIP’s key goal is to make it easier for NHS organisations to identify and manage digital tools, from chronic condition management to professional support systems. This greatly reduces the burden of sifting through complex regulatory landscapes and accelerates the process of finding innovative solutions tailored to specific NHS needs.


Key Features and Benefits

  • Comprehensive Compliance Tracking: Continuous monitoring against 350+ regulatory standards, ensuring safety, privacy, and efficacy.
  • Curated App Selection: A wide range of pre-vetted solutions tailored to NHS needs, including apps for chronic care, mental health, and fitness.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: User-friendly search filters and performance displays make it easier to identify the right tools quickly.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Collaboration with the NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA), Clinical Entrepreneur Programme (CEP), and regional Health Innovation Networks supports innovators at every stage of development.

This portal represents a transformative step for innovators and NHS organisations alike. It streamlines certification and market access, fostering a collaborative ecosystem that embraces technology to improve care delivery across the UK.”
