Location: Warrington
Salary: £18,000 – £20,000 per annum
Job Type: Part time (minimum of 22.5 hours) or full time
ORCHA are one of the UK’s fastest growing Digital Health organisations. We operate the world’s largest digital health assessment platform and library and have a suite of exciting products and services that are all geared towards getting more people using and benefiting from great health and care related Apps.
Digital healthcare holds the power to revolutionize how we treat patients. But this revolution comes with risk. Right now, there are over 350,000 health apps out there and only 20% meet safety standards. It’s an issue that needs action, and with action comes innovation.
This is where ORCHA comes in. ORCHA exists to make digital healthcare healthy.
Our industry-leading technology helps national bodies, healthcare providers, professionals on the frontline and digital innovators, develop, accredit and activate the best digital healthcare apps.
Putting the transformative power of digital healthcare into the hands of patients, safely.
It’s fair to say we are passionate about health apps. Digital health is rapidly emerging as the major new frontier in healthcare delivery globally and we are at the forefront of this fast moving and exhilarating environment.
The Role – Digital Health Assessor?
At the heart of everything we do is our unique ORCHA Digital Health Review and Assessment, which is carried out by our team of talented graduates. Every day they assess health apps covering a huge number of different health and care conditions and categories.
Our graduates rapidly become experts in all facets of digital health apps. Guided and supported by our team of highly experienced and expert specialists, ORCHA assessors use our Review Engine to look at apps holistically, identifying in the process whether the apps are safe for end users to use, for clinicians to promote, and whether they are fully compliant with all the standards and regulations.
A typical day will involve undertaking assessments on a range of distinct apps from a variety of different areas. You will download and use the app; you will investigate and examine all aspects of it and the information that it provides. You will also check out the relevant websites and app store entries to gather all the required evidence to establish how good the app is across a range of assessment dimensions.
As you become more experienced, you will gain the opportunity to undertake more in-depth assessments on behalf of the health and care organisations, regulators, and governments who need to provide assurance schemes for their local populations. You will increasingly engage with app developers, supporting them to improve their solutions and you will also work hand in hand with our experts to evaluate compliance in often ground-breaking areas such as AI and sensor technology.
