Working with Safehand on our DCB0129 compliance was straightforward. The process was well established and robust. Our allocated CSO was an expert with real-world experience in our field and was able to quickly understand the product and its applications. We are very happy with the flexibility in supporting ongoing compliance.

Emily Baker
Business Development Manager, ITE Medical

Although experienced in many sectors and methodologies, and well versed in IT risk management; clinical safety, and navigation around DCB0129 compliance in particular, was a new venture for us. What was obvious was that this is no area for naïve stumbling around, or ignorant lip-service to the process. What is required is experienced professionals with established, industry-proven, yet flexible and adaptable processes. This is our experience of working with Safehand, and in particular Lucy, our Clinical Safety Officer. She has quickly become a valued and valuable member of the team, who continues to guide us through what without her could easily be overwhelming, time-consuming and therefore costly processes to meet the standards. Knowledgeable and efficient, Lucy has also been friendly and open to our thoughts and suggestions where appropriate. I would not hesitate in recommending Safehand to other companies in similar circumstances.

“We were and continue to be delighted with our interactions with Safehand. From the first email, through to the production of our hazard log, clinical safety workshop and final report we experienced the highest level of professionalism, matched with not only extensive knowledge of the clinical safety issues but real enthusiasm to make our product better. This enthusiasm has led our team to become even more focussed on clinical safety and led to a real organisational change in designing, improving and releasing our code updates. We are looking forward to working with Safehand as we develop and enhance our offering.”

I would like to take the time to commend Safehand in general, and particularly Oyinkan for an outstanding job in helping the HomeSight solution get to DCB 0129 compliance satisfactorily. Oyinkan was thorough, and exercised awesome due diligence during the entire process, and the remarkable thing is that through her logical thought process and presenting material, always with “why an evidence, or control, or a process is required”, helped us to refine our thinking to bring in a “Clinical Safety” mindset and angle to whatever we do. While we had to work harder to fill the gaps in our documentation, processes and test scripts, we were doing it with vigour knowing that all these contribute to a stronger solution that can stand proud in the market.

Oyinkan is an absolute asset, and a real pleasure to work with. She put us at ease, while politely being firm on the requirements as should be the case. We are happy to retain her as the CSO and we are very pleased with Safehand in terms of the engagement.

Mobio Interactive is extremely pleased with the diligence and efficiency provided by Safehand. In particular, Natalie Hall has been the Clinical Safety Officer for our digital therapeutic platform AmDTx for over a year. In that time she has guided our team through the entire DCB 0129 certification process, as well as contributing meaningfully to the platform development and overall regulatory and certification strategy. We look forward to an ongoing partnership ensuring the clinical safety of all our digital interventions for mental health and CNS disorders.

I'd like to thank Safehand for supporting PocDoc in creating our clinical risk management deliverables for our DTAC assessment and GP Connect onboarding. The Safehand onboarding process was simple and thorough, which meant we could quickly move from briefing to implementation. Safehand has made the process of becoming DCB 0129 compliant straightforward. I would like to make a special mention of Lucy Birks, our appointed Clinical Safety Officer. Lucy has guided us expertly and rapidly throughout the process and offered considerable insight. Her experience and dedication to our aims, has helped the senior management team at PocDoc to build our understanding and commitment to clinical risk management.

Robin Matthews
Chief Technology Officer, PocDoc

"Safehand have been invaluable helping us meet the clinical safety documentation requirements for our expansion in the UK market. From beginning to the end, they explained every aspect of the process and took steps to ensure that we were fully aware of why we were producing each deliverable. Following a well-designed, well delivered plan, it was as much an educational experience as a consulting engagement. We are delighted with our interaction with Safehand and a special thank you to our CSO for a tremendous job."

Glen Conway
General Manager UK and CISO, mTuitive Inc.

EIDO Healthcare have a history of providing high quality patient information to support informed consent in NHS and private hospitals. When we expanded into the digital healthcare space, we thought that Clinical Safety was something we could do ourselves…how wrong we were! Luckily we asked Safehand for help and they appointed Natalie as our Clinical Safety Officer. She expertly guided us through the DCB0129 process with extensive regulatory knowledge, rationality and common sense. We have a retained services agreement with Safehand and enjoy having a CSO on our team.
