Problem
Healthcare technology companies face complex, overlapping regulatory requirements across frameworks like DTAC, DSPT, ISO 27001, and HIPAA, which create significant administrative burden and slow down product launches. Frequent framework updates and duplicative questions across NHS procurement processes force teams to repeatedly pause development and redo documentation, delaying market entry and innovation.
Solution
Squirrel™ is an AI-powered compliance platform that automates the preparation, management, and tracking of healthcare regulatory frameworks. The platform uses AI trained on real regulatory data to provide contextual, cross-framework answers and breaks down complex requirements into manageable tasks. Regulatory experts with 100+ years of combined experience validate all evidence to ensure it meets requirements across DTAC, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and other standards. Every completed output carries a compliance warranty, meaning if evidence is challenged by NHS procurement, MHRA, or in an audit, the company fixes it at no cost.
Target Audience
Primary customers are digital health innovators, medical device manufacturers, and SaaS providers selling to the NHS or handling patient data, including startups navigating their first DTAC submission and established companies scaling into new markets.
