An assurance subscription for digital health compliance

When a technology product passes an ORCHA assessment (the OBR or OBR+ review), it becomes eligible for ORCHA Assured status - our trusted assurance badge used by the NHS and global health systems to recognise safe, compliant, and high-quality digital health technologies.

Unlike a one-off assessment, ORCHA Assured works as a subscription because assurance in digital health can’t stand still. Technology products evolve, regulations update, and buyers need to know that compliance stays current.

Independent certification

A tiered scheme (Bronze and Silver) built on the ORCHA Global Baseline Review and OBR+, validating digital health technologies against international standards for safety, privacy, clinical assurance, evidence, and usability.

Gives suppliers clear, trusted proof of compliance without navigating multiple frameworks

Recognised Quality Mark

The ORCHA Assured badge signals to health systems, professionals, and patients that a product has been rigorously assessed and meets defined compliance thresholds, underpinned by the ORCHA Guarantee.

Builds instant trust, reducing friction in procurement and recommendation pathways.

Foundation for Market Access

Assurance is the gateway into Verify (public status check), Compare (compliance intelligence platform), and partner distribution channels such as libraries, formularies, CareNav, CareQ, and global professional and patient networks.

Opens doors to global distribution opportunities and accelerates adoption at scale.

Bronze: Foundational Assurance

Built on the ORCHA Global Baseline Review, Bronze confirms that your product meets the essential standards for digital health compliance - covering data privacy, clinical safety, evidence, and usability. It’s the recognised entry point for safe market access and procurement readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ORCHA Assured actually certify?

ORCHA Assured provides independent validation that your product meets defined standards for safety, privacy, clinical assurance, evidence, and usability. It goes beyond a self-declaration, giving you a trusted certification mark recognised by commissioners, clinicians, and patients.

How is ORCHA Assured different from existing accreditations like ISO or CE?

ISO and CE are important, but they only cover parts of the picture. ORCHA Assured is digital health–specific and assesses how your product operates in practice, including areas such as clinical safety, usability, and accessibility. It’s designed to complement - not duplicate - existing accreditations, offering a clear, practical signal of overall product readiness.

How long does the accreditation last, and do I need to reapply?

Digital health evolves quickly, so ORCHA Assured isn’t a one-time check. Accreditation is supported by continuous monitoring, and it’s reassessed annually to ensure standards are maintained. This gives commissioners and users ongoing confidence, and gives you peace of mind that your product remains compliant.
