Our Mission
We exist to close the gap between clinical rigour and digital health strategy.
Most digital health products that fail procurement do not fail because of the technology. They fail because of the compliance documentation — the safety cases that were incomplete, the DTAC submissions that were underevidenced, the regulatory positions that were never properly established.
SDHA was founded to fix that. We bring the clinical authority, the regulatory expertise, and the NHS procurement knowledge that most digital health teams cannot build in-house — and we deploy it with the transparency and precision that the sector demands.
Values
How we think about delivery
Clinical Authority
Every engagement is led by a GMC-registered, DCB0129-qualified practising clinician. Our advisory is not derived from compliance templates. It is built on direct clinical experience of the systems, standards, and procurement processes our clients are navigating.
Transparency
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Our advisory is honest about regulatory risk, realistic about timelines, and clear about what a compliant submission actually requires.
Precision
We do not produce generic documentation. Every safety case, every DTAC submission, every regulatory strategy is built specifically for the product, the clinical context, and the procurement target in front of us.
Outcomes
We measure success by whether our clients get through procurement, pass clinical safety review, and successfully enter the market — not by the volume of documentation we produce.

Our Team
Meet the visionary
Dr Jide Idowu — Founder & Clinical Safety Lead
Too many genuinely good digital health products fail at the UK procurement stage — not because they don't work, but because they lack a DCB0129-compliant Clinical Safety Case signed by a qualified Clinical Safety Officer. That regulatory gap represents millions in wasted investment and, more importantly; delayed access to tools that could transform patient care globally.
Dr Jide Idowu founded SDHA having sat on both sides of the UK and global procurement process: as a practising clinician assessing digital health submissions, and as a digital health strategist building the products. That dual vantage point is what SDHA was built to deploy.
"I have sat in NHS and global procurement meetings as the clinician reviewing digital health submissions. I have seen how many good products fail — not because of the technology, but because of the paperwork they did not know was required. That knowledge should not be locked inside the system."
Dr Jide Idowu, Founder, SDHA
