Healthtech
and medtech

Connectivity, security and operational assurance for the technology companies building into UK healthcare. For ISVs, software vendors, medical device companies and managed service providers whose customer is the NHS, a healthcare provider, or the wider care ecosystem.

The assured operating model
behind your product

If you’re building technology and delivering into healthcare, your product is only half the story. The customer who buys it expects everything around it to work the same way. Compliant connectivity. Operational evidence. Security that holds up. Service continuity that doesn’t drop when the system matters most.

For early-stage companies, the operating layer is what stands between the product and the market. For scale-stage and established healthtech, it’s what makes operating at NHS volume with NHS expectations sustainable rather than fragile.

Cloud Gateway runs that operating layer for you. Connectivity to the networks your customers use. Security that travels with the data. Observability across the path. Evidence for the audits your customer’s governance team will run on you. Delivered as one managed service, on infrastructure we operate in the UK.

The product stays yours. The operating burden moves to us.

The realities of building into healthcare

Selling technology into UK healthcare comes with operational and regulatory realities that other markets don’t share.
01

Connectivity to the right networks is non-negotiable

Most clinical and operational data sits behind the HSCN. Without it, the product doesn’t reach the customer. Building it yourself takes time, accreditation and an operational commitment that most healthtech teams don’t have headroom for.

02

Compliance is a cost of doing business in healthcare

DSPT, Data Security Standards, the Connection Agreement for HSCN. Your customer’s governance team will assess you as a supplier, not just the product you offer. The assessment will be ongoing, evidence of your compliance is non-negotiable.

03

Continuity is the
customer's expectation

The healthcare buyer’s view of service availability is shaped by clinical operations and outcomes, not cloud SLAs. If the system is down, care is affected. Your platform’s resilience and operating evidence have to match that expectation. Infrastructure is often forgotten.

04

The pace of customer adoption is unpredictable

Healthcare procurement cycles can be slow, then suddenly fast. Onboarding a new trust, ICB or care provider has to happen at the customer’s own pace. The infrastructure underneath has to be robust, resilient, but also flexible enough to scale on demand.

Where healthtech companies
usually start

Most healthtech customers come to us with one specific problem. The platform extends as the business grows.

for compliant HSCN connectivity to reach NHS customers

for managed security and compliance evidence as part of the service rather than a separate engagement

for secure access to internal systems and clinical data wherever your team operates

for scale-stage healthtech consolidating multi-site or multi-environment operations

 for managed private connectivity between your cloud-hosted product and the regulated networks your customer uses

For services people depend on.

We are built for consequence, trusted by organisations who deal with national security, frontline healthcare, public safety and public trust.
