Digital health is delivering the next medical revolution. The technology you create has the power to change lives. But commissioners and health and care professionals need to trust it.
To provide this assurance, there are several digital health frameworks against which to assess and accredit health apps and digital health technologies, including the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) in the UK, Digital Health Assessment Framework (DHAF) in the USA, and the Nordic Digital Health Evaluation Criteria (NordDEC) in the Nordics.
The OBR has been designed to conduct an introductory assessment, covering over 350 review points used within 70% of global industry standards. It gives a rapid, independent, and objective measure of the quality of your product.
The OBR assessment also covers many of the measures featured within the in-depth region-specific frameworks, and so gives you a sign of how your product will perform in these.
Build confidence that your digital health product complies with the market’s essential safety regulations with the OBR.
OBR assessment
As part of our OBR, we assesses a digital health product, such as a health app, against 350+ standards in three domains: clinical or professional assurance, data and privacy, and usability and accessibility. After your assessment:
- If your technology achieves a score of over 65%, you will receive a badge of quality assurance, recognised internationally
- The opportunity to enter ORCHA Health App Libraries and Digital Health Formularies used by health and care systems around the world.
- With a subscription, you will receive a confidential, in-depth improvement report.

What is the ORCHA Baseline Review (OBR)?
Our ORCHA Baseline Review (OBR) is an assessment that checks if your digital health product, or health app, meets the requirements of 350 criteria. These are 350 questions that we answer to score your digital health product against three main domains: usability and accessibility, clinical or professional assurance, and data and privacy.
You need a minimum score to pass the OBR to surface on our ORCHA App Library, Digital Health Formulary, and Digital Health Toolkits, which we develop for health and care organisations to access digital health products.
How can I assess my digital health product against the OBR?
We can assess your digital health product, or health app, against the OBR as part of our annual assessment subscription service.
