When we first started looking at DCB0129 compliance I didn’t know whether to think “this looks really simple, what’s the problem” or ” this is so complicated I don’t know how we can manage it”. On our first contact with Safehand, it turns out I was right on both counts. It is really complex! And then we met Lucy, our CSO. Right from the start, she worked with us to break the complicated process of a Clinical Safety Review of our BEST system down into simple bite-sized chunks. Her expert eye was able to separate the important from the trivial and then put in place a process that allowed us to address the requirements of the Standard in a logical way that made it easy to understand what was needed. We now have a Hazard Log that identifies the Clinical Risks, demonstrates the controls we have in place to mitigate these, and an excellently-written Clinical Safety Case report. Not only has Lucy enabled us to meet DCB0129, but also given us insight into how we can work in the future to further improve our products.

As a small tech company, DCB0129 compliance was a daunting prospect for ShinyMind but Safehand have been extremely professional, informative, and helpful throughout the process. Their patience, flexibility and responsiveness have been particularly valued as our products have evolved and deadlines changed. Having Safehand as part of our team gives us real confidence as ShinyMind moves forward.

We approached Safehand to provide the Clinical Safety guidance required to achieve DCB0129 compliance. We found Richard to be very approachable and professional, guiding us through the process in a clear and structured way. His expertise was instrumental in helping us navigate the complexities of the DCB0129 framework with confidence. Safehand acted as a trusted partner, and we are very grateful for their assistance in enabling us to achieve this critical milestone.

"As a small company, it’s just not realistic for us to employ a fulltime DCB 0129 Clinical Safety Officer. Safehand are able to perfectly fill that gap. We get the enormous benefit of a CSO with wide industry experience to work alongside us as we grow. So many clinicians think they can just turn their hand to the complexities of DCB 0129 risk management having completed the mandatory training. The Safehand staff have been doing this work for over a decade and that experience shines through in everything they do. We’ve been working with Adrian for several years as our CSO – he is very friendly, extremely diligent and a true professional."

Clinical Safety is a vitally important part of our business, and I'm delighted to say that Eric and everyone at Safehand have been truly excellent to work with. Always on hand to offer advice, guidance and information while consistently working at a pace that matches our needs. Eric has been able to adapt to the changing requirements that we have presented with ease, whilst also staying on top of our evolving capability. I really cannot recommend them highly enough!

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.

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.

“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.”

"In a digital health business, we need to work with people who are domain experts who can simplify complex challenges and are great at listening to new ideas and alternative viewpoints. Whether its Medical Device compliance or DCB0129, Safehand just get the job done and deliver what they say they will."

Clinical safety has always been central to our Theseus health and wellbeing platform’s development and it’s essential for our company to be compliant with DCB0129. Engaging with Safehand was a straightforward decision based on the company’s track record in clinical safety. We have been very impressed with our Clinical Safety Officer’s experience, knowledge and approachability in helping us develop and maintain our Clinical Safety Management System.
