Developers - Improving or updating digital technologies after deployment

Reviewed: 25 August 2022

When updating digital technologies that are already on the UK health and social care market, you will need to consider if previous evaluations (for example, health economic modelling) are impacted by the change and whether any standards used are still being met. Additionally, new functionality and claims may result in your technology becoming a medical device and should be reviewed ahead of making an update.

To learn more, please review our guidance on Improving or updating digital technologies after deployment. Although this guidance is tailored to medical devices, it gives a complete overview of what you need to do to meet best practice principles.
