DCB Standards, AI Regulation and the Real Risk in Healthcare, with Rudi Hennessy Co-Founder of Orthon

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 29:57

Rudi Hennessy, co-founder of clinical safety organisation ORTHON, joins Health Tech Social to talk about the difference between having a clinical safety officer and actually building a culture that manages clinical risk.

We get into DCB 0129 and 0160 in practice, the MHRA's recent move to declassify some ambient voice technology as a medical device, and why "human in the loop" gets treated as an automatic safety mitigation when it often isn't one. Rudi also shares a candid account of what happens when supplier hazard logs treat training as a fix, delivered months before go-live, and reality doesn't cooperate.

What we cover:

What to do if you're a health tech founder without a clinical safety officer
Why co-designing with the people who'll actually use a product is a stronger mitigation than guessing on their behalf
DCB 0129 and 0160, and where AI-driven products complicate the standards
The MHRA's new guidance and what it means for ambient voice technology
Why "human in the loop" is often a weaker mitigation than manufacturers assume
Getting buy-in from stakeholders and founders for a clinical risk management plan
