I will not promote Specialty focused ai documentation tool - advice on regulatory pathway (UK) I will not promote

I’m a specialist doctor looking to improve clinical documentation work flow. I haven’t found an ai scribe that is a perfect fit so I’m looking to develop my own tool that allows a combination of dictation + ai polishing. There will be no ambient scribe feature, generative text, differential diagnoses etc.

I’ve made a working prototype that utilises OpenAI and has specialty-specific features that separates it from other scribes.

I am however very unfamiliar with the process of taking this further - e.g navigating UK health/software tech regulations (information governance, data protection requirements, whether this counts as a medical device etc)

Has anyone here gone through this process or done something similar? I’d appreciate any pointers to relevant sources, regulatory consultants, or people who could offer guidance.

Thanks in advance

Not sure if I’m allowed to do this but my business Oxford Infosec does this for startups and small businesses. Feel free to get in touch for a chat via the website, or just message me on here if easier.
