Safety comes first
Evtelix is built for people waiting for an ADHD or autism assessment, often at a difficult time in their lives, and for the clinicians responsible for their care. Their health information, and the decisions made with it, deserve the highest standard of care.
For us, safety is not a box to tick before launch. It shapes what we build, what we leave to clinicians and what we choose not to build yet. Clinicians make every clinical decision, Evtelix never diagnoses, and anyone who discloses urgent risk is directed to 999 or NHS 111 straight away.
Safety and compliance, stated plainly.
Evtelix is at an early stage. This is what we have committed to, and where each item stands today. We will update this page as each item is completed.
- Clinician in the loop, no automated diagnosisDesign principle
Evtelix supports clinicians; it never diagnoses. A clinician reviews and signs off anything that reaches a patient or their GP.
- Clinical safety case (DCB0129)Planned
The NHS standard for managing clinical risk in health software: a named Clinical Safety Officer, a hazard log and a safety case for each release.
- NHS Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC)Planned
NHS England's baseline check for digital health tools, covering clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability, and usability and accessibility.
- Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT)Planned
The self-assessment that organisations with access to NHS patient data and systems complete to show they handle data securely.
- Cyber EssentialsPlanned
A UK government-backed certification of basic cyber security controls. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent technical audit.
- Medical device status, assessed with a regulatory adviserPlanned
Some software counts as a medical device under UK regulations. We will take specialist advice on what applies to each part of Evtelix before it is used.
Nothing here is in place yet unless it says so.
