Digital health offers a huge opportunity to transform how we prevent health concerns, treat patients and meet clinical needs.
But with more than 350,000 digital health technologies or health apps available, and over 5 million people now downloading one every day, why have we not yet seen wholesale adoption across health and care organisations to get the benefit from these solutions? The answer is the four barriers to adoption:
- Awareness
- Trust
- Access
- Governance
Used in 70% of NHS regions, our award-winning technology includes a suite of products to overcome these barriers, providing the core infrastructure to introduce digital health safely.
We help you establish the quality assurance procedures for digital health, long followed by other areas of medical practice.

Making a difference in diabetes services
“ORCHA is really a big part of our digital health literacy work, enabling people to have access to safe and reliable apps and digital technologies that will do what it says on the tin, so to speak. Using apps is a really easy way to support our patients and our citizens to engage in the digital experience. Recommending apps is definitely the way of the future.”
