Digital health technologies have the potential to transform the way health and social care is delivered in the UK, but they also pose some challenges and risks that need to be addressed. These include ensuring data security and privacy, maintaining ethical standards and public trust, overcoming technical barriers and legacy systems, ensuring digital inclusion and accessibility, and evaluating the impact and value of digital interventions.

ORCHA reviews help to provide people with health apps that are continuously assessed against standards and regulations in clinical and professional assurance, data and privacy, and usability and accessibility.

These assessments help with providing trusted and reliable resources that can help the NHS in many ways, our digital health technology supports the NHS maternity service by:
