Options appraisal, business case and both NHS clinical safety standards in one continuous record. For the teams who build digital health software, and the organisations that deploy it.
Write the criteria before you see the options, score the candidates against the same ones, and model the do-nothing baseline properly so the cost of inaction is on the record rather than assumed. Options you reject keep their reasoning, which is exactly what a commissioner or an auditor asks for eighteen months later.
Work out what the change does to workforce and finances at steady state, including the work it moves rather than removes - a tool that clears the front door faster usually pushes the queue further down the pathway. The benefits claimed here are the ones your intended use and your clinical risk benefit analysis will rest on later, so they are stated once and inherited.
A 208-question guided scope driven by your intended use, AI-seeded hazard workshops, 5×5 scoring with pre- and post-control positions, controls linked to the evidence that they were actually implemented, ALARP and CRBA where they trigger, and a named Clinical Safety Officer signing every judgement. Both standards run on the same record, so neither side rebuilds the other's work.
The safety case is frozen, versioned and timestamped at hand-over and gated on a compliance check, so an incomplete file cannot cross and both sides hold the same artefact rather than two that quietly diverge. After go-live, a new release or a changed pathway re-opens the assessment instead of escaping it.
Most organisations appraise digital options in a spreadsheet somebody built once and a business case template somebody else wrote, then open a hazard log weeks later. By that point the choice has already been made, somewhere nobody can trace.
Nobody can reconstruct why this product was chosen over the two that were rejected, or what those rejected options would have cost.
A product that clears the front door faster moves the queue further down the pathway, unless somebody modelled that before go-live. Hazards, meanwhile, sit in a spreadsheet drifting from the real product.
The safety case cites an intended use that lives in a business case the platform has never seen, and the DCB0129 work never translates into the deployer's DCB0160 case. Two versions of the truth, one of them stale.
Each stage inherits everything the stage before it decided. Nothing is re-typed, and nothing is asserted twice.
Frame the operational or clinical problem, compare the candidate solutions including doing nothing, model the workforce and financial position once the change has stabilised, and produce a business case an executive team can act on - structured on the HM Treasury Five Case Model.
Turn the chosen solution into a defensible clinical safety case under DCB0129 and DCB0160, with a 208-question guided scope, AI-seeded hazard workshops, 5×5 risk scoring, controls, CRBA and ALARP - and a named Clinical Safety Officer signing every judgement.
Freeze the evidence, hand it across on a gated and versioned handshake, map the clinical pathway and interfaces it lands in, and keep the safety case live so a new release or a changed pathway re-opens the assessment rather than escaping it.
The Business Case Builder is grounded in the HM Treasury Five Case Model - the same framework NHS Trusts and ICBs use to assess spending proposals - but restructured into six plain-language stages that lead you through it step by step.
A short guided question decides whether you need a lightweight Quick Case or the fuller Full Case treatment, so you are never doing more paperwork than the decision warrants.
Why this matters, and why now. The strategic case for change, framed from the operational or clinical problem rather than the product a supplier is selling.
Comparing realistic alternatives, including doing nothing, with a built-in sense-check on the numbers.
How you will actually buy and contract for it, documented alongside the case rather than worked out afterwards.
A ready-built cost table covering the whole life of the investment, not just the sticker price.
Who is delivering it, and how you will know it worked.
Trygg.Health turns options appraisal, business case development and the two NHS clinical safety standards into a single guided workflow your whole team can run. Problem, options, benefits, hazards, controls, ALARP, CRBA, documents - all in one place, all linked, all auditable.
Trygg.Health understands the full lifecycle - from the manufacturer building software, to the organisation appraising it and putting it into a live clinical pathway. We have done it, from both sides.
For health tech founders, regulatory leads and clinical safety officers building digital health products that need to land in the NHS.
For NHS Trusts, ICBs and independent providers appraising digital options and responsible for deploying third-party products into a live clinical pathway.
Each step builds on the last. No retyping, no re-versioning Word documents, and no "where's the latest hazard log?" messages.
Start from the operational or clinical problem, not from the product a supplier is selling.
Compare the candidates, including doing nothing, and model the workforce and financial impact.
A structured case generated from the appraisal, ready for an executive team to act on.

Trygg Health was founded by clinicians who have built and deployed digital health software inside the NHS. We made the platform we wished we'd had.
Driven by a passion for digital innovation and clinical safety, Luke co-founded Trygg Health with Simon. Over 15 years in healthcare and HealthTech, with strategic leadership at C-suite and board level steering Trygg from a strategy perspective.
Luke excels at transforming healthcare ideas into market-ready solutions and scaling them for broad impact, forging partnerships with NHS commissioners, patients, elite sports, and corporate stakeholders.
Over the past five years, Simon has designed and deployed software for the NHS, meeting clinical safety standards and streamlining care pathways. He balances pragmatic development with complex regulatory demands across the full software lifecycle.
His expertise covers Clinical Safety Officer duties, DCB0129, DCB0160, Software as a Medical Device, and quality/risk management systems (ISO 13485, ISO 14971). Nearly 30 years in clinical practice and 13 years in leadership across radiology, medicines management and surgical pathways.
Yes, and that is the part most tools skip. Before any hazard log is opened you can frame the problem you are actually solving, appraise the candidate solutions against it including the option of doing nothing, model the workforce and financial position once the change has stabilised, and generate a business case from that appraisal. Because it lives in the same record that later carries the safety case, the intended use and the benefits claimed are stated once rather than asserted twice in two documents that drift apart.
A product that clears the front door faster often just moves the queue further down the pathway, and infrastructure cost that falls out of one budget has to be reinvested somewhere. If those consequences are modelled before go-live, finance and operations are given a decision rather than a request to fund an experiment, which is usually the difference between a business case that moves and one that stalls for a quarter.
DCB0129 is the NHS clinical safety standard for manufacturers of health IT software. If you build digital health software intended to be deployed in the NHS, you need a clinical risk management process - including a Clinical Safety Officer, a hazard log, and a Clinical Safety Case Report - that conforms to it. Trygg.Health implements that process end-to-end.
DCB0160 is the matching standard for the deploying organisation - typically an NHS Trust or ICB. It governs how the deploying CSO assures safe deployment of a third-party product into a specific clinical pathway and IT environment. Our deployment handshake makes the manufacturer-to-deployer transition seamless.
Yes - both DCB0129 and DCB0160 require a named CSO, and they must be a registered healthcare professional. If you don't have one in-house, our CSO-as-a-Service tier provides a Named CSO from Trygg.Health to facilitate workshops and sign off your safety case.
Most teams move from sign-up to a draft Clinical Safety Case Report in 1-3 weeks, depending on product complexity. The 208-question scope, AI hazard suggestions and auto-generated documents collapse the work that traditionally takes 2-6 months.
Yes. You can paste your intended-use statement, upload your existing hazard log, and use Trygg.Health to keep it living from that point forward. Existing artefacts can be referenced in the document repository.
We store all data in the EU, a region the UK recognises as having equivalent data protection standards, so your data is protected to the same level as if it were held in the UK. Isolation is enforced at the query layer rather than in the interface, every login requires email-verified 2FA, and we do not share your data with any third party except where you explicitly trigger it - for example, AI hazard suggestions.
No. The AI suggests hazards and drafts language. Your Clinical Safety Officer always reviews, scores and signs off. AI proposes, the clinical team reviews, the CSO decides, and your organisation signs off.
No, and any supplier telling you otherwise is worth a second look. The platform structures the work, seeds hazard suggestions, scores and versions every record, generates the documents, and stops a safety statement being issued before the mandatory items are complete. Clinical judgement, the named Clinical Safety Officer's sign-off, the decision on whether residual risk is acceptable, and organisational accountability for what gets deployed all remain with you.
