Regulators & Health Authorities

The challenges of regulating digital health at scale

Fragmented, inconsistent assessments make national governance hard to enforce.

Standards exist, but aren’t operationalised into a repeatable, objective process.

Market claims are noisy; you need transparent status and reliable oversight data.

When appropriate, people and professionals need access to safe, assured tools they can find and trust.

How ORCHA helps regulators and authorities

Assurance: The foundation of trusted digital health solutions

The ORCHA Global Baseline Review  underpins many accreditation regimes; it is objective, evidence-based, and continuously updated to reflect product changes.

Assurance: The core of regulatory trust

For regulators and authorities, everything begins with Assurance. Policies and standards only protect citizens when they are operationalised into consistent, repeatable assessments. That’s why ORCHA works with national bodies worldwide to design and deliver bespoke assurance schemes built on our Global Baseline Review.

Adapt frameworks to local context

From NHS DTAC to NordDEC, MHCC, and US DHAF.

Run sector-specific schemes

Like Mind Assured, which powers the UK’s national mental health app library.
