Frequently asked questions

What is AI assurance in the NHS?

+

AI assurance is the process of demonstrating that an AI-enabled health product is safe, effective, ethical and compliant, across clinical safety (DCB0129/0160), data protection, medical device regulation, bias/fairness, transparency and post-market monitoring.

Do you cover ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act?

+

Yes. We help you set up an ISO 42001 AI management system and prepare for the EU AI Act, alongside clinical safety, medical device regulation and DTAC v2, so one partner covers your whole AI compliance picture.

Do AI products need DCB0129?

+

Yes, any AI used in NHS clinical care needs DCB0129 (manufacturer) and, on deployment, DCB0160 (deployer). AI-specific hazards (bias, drift, hallucination, explainability) must be in the hazard log.

Is an AI product also a medical device?

+

Usually yes, if it informs a clinical decision. It will need classification under UK MDR, a technical file, ISO 13485/IEC 62304 alignment, UKCA marking and MHRA registration.

Can DigiSafe support AI and ambient scribe suppliers?

+

Yes. We write clinical safety, DTAC and medical device evidence for AI and ambient voice technology products used in NHS care.
