Fiona Steven
CEO, Know As You Go

The experience held by Safehand and their clear expertise in clinical safety and health tech has been fundamental in reaching DCB0129 compliance.  Safehand’s impact has been much wider than just compliance, it has woven clinical safety into all aspects of our product design, development, delivery and support. Safehand’s ability to rapidly understand the product, and how it is utilised in the real world is refreshing. The expertise brought by the team at Safehand has brought benefits not only to our organisation but every customer who uses an Inform Health product.

Andrew Denman
Product Director, Inform Health

"Deploying a national solution in the UK demands a trusted and experienced safety partner. We have been delighted with the work to date – rolling out a product at speed has been challenging across the board, but the way Safehand structures the knowledge transfer and information gathering was a big help. Our CSO has been really great - mammoth effort on her part to keep things moving, and she continues to do a fabulous job."

Chris Ryan
Video Consulting Programmes Director, Attend Anywhere

We contacted Safehand to consult on the DCB0129 process with us towards the end of 2024. Being a small team, the process was initially daunting but Paul and the Safehand team helped break the process down for us and provided expert guidance on what was required.

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.

Our nominated CSO, Lisa, guides us every step of the way, instilling the utmost confidence in us. We highly recommend Safehand for their professionalism, dedication, and expertise.

Tom Montgomery

"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."
