Shaping the future of safe digital health & AI

Our team has hands on clinical and healthtech expertise. We publish the research behind our advice, including the first national study measuring NHS digital safety compliance and where trusts can close the gap. Rigour you can check, not just take our word for.

“We all started in Health Tech with a common goal: to help as many people as possible by using tech in new ways”

Dr Keith Grimes

, Founder and CEO

We've built products for tech companies. We've deployed them in the NHS. Now we help you to do both safely.

We know tech companies

Before Curistica, Keith and Erica led clinical product teams at Babylon Health, building the Symptom Checker, Monitor and Health IQ. They know first hand the pressure product teams face balancing innovation, sales and safety. And they know how to solve these issues.

We know providers

Keith has 30 years of experience as a doctor, most as a GP. Youssof led NHS England's National Digital Therapeutics Programme. Between them, they've co-authored three peer-reviewed papers on digital health safety. They know the systems your teams use and constraints they face.

We know AI

We advise clients at the cutting edge of AI development and implementation to help improve care and outcomes for patients. We use AI tools to increase the quality and efficiency of our own work too, meaning we have first hand experience of its strengths and weaknesses.

Why trust us

We don't just apply the standards. We are leaders defining what comes next.

We research

Our peer-reviewed study of 239 NHS trusts and integrated care boards was the first to measure clinical safety compliance across the system, finding only 17.3% of deployments fully assured. That's the kind of primary research we put behind our advice.

We advocate

We contribute expert guidance to the AI All-Party Parliamentary Group, the Topol Review, NHSE, CQC and MHRA to help shape the national policy and frameworks on AI in health and care. And we co-authored the government report on Generative AI and Health for the Department of Business and Trade.

We build

We create solutions to make it easier for the industry to build and implement health tech. Our Clinical Safety Case Quality Tool has 36 indicators across five domains, built with 10 practising Clinical Safety Officers and tested with the UK's 700-member CSO community. Published free, under an open licence.

Our values

Defined by what we do, not just what we say

Care

Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Improving care means working across the whole ecosystem, from builders to providers to patients. For us, compliance isn’t a checkbox: it’s a responsibility we take personally.

Curiosity

We're endlessly curious about the problems and the solutions. Compliance is rarely black and white, and we believe there's always a better way. We dig deep and find practical paths forward where others get stuck.

Optimism

We believe the future of healthcare can be genuinely better. Technology will shape it, and how we build and govern it matters. We’re optimistic that, done well, technology can lead to safer, more effective, and more human care.

Evidence

Our advice is grounded in evidence, not opinion. In a field where the stakes are patient safety and public trust, we apply rigour to every decision so our clients can move forward with confidence.

Delivery

We don’t just advise. We deliver. From first assessment to ongoing support, we take ownership of outcomes. Our clients trust us to follow through, and we do.

Diversity

Better decisions come from broader perspectives. Our team brings together clinical, technical, product, and regulatory expertise, allowing us to see problems from across the system and design solutions that work in the real world.

“Working with Curistica has been invaluable. As our independent Clinical Safety assurance partner, they provide a level of rigour, insight, and reassurance that allows us to confidently trial and implement new technologies.”
