Heidi AI
NHS AI Scam. An Ai thats unregulated and operating as a data scam in the UK.
What is a ai enabled ambient scribing products
First of all here's the NHS England long-read guidance :
section 3.2 says:
an ambient scribing product (the uses Ai for example) that is deemed to be a medical device needs to be registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and regulated proportional to its risk classification. A UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) certificate is needed for clinical use of medical devices in the NHS. A valid CE mark is equally acceptable until 30th June 2028as such, engage your legal teams before procuring ambient scribing and AVT products, particularly to assess specific functionalities, intended use, and levels of human oversight. Legal consultations can help mitigate liability risks by addressing these factors as part of comprehensive risk management
within NHS organisations, liability (particularly liability for clinical negligence claims) can ultimately lead to a non-delegable duty on the part of the Trust or primary care provider if a specific liable party cannot be established.
clear and comprehensive contracting arrangements with suppliers and stakeholders are essential to appropriately delineate responsibility and liability.
it is crucial that processes involving AI-enabled products are designed with transparency and traceability in mind to aid in establishing accountability and liability when required.
Advice: If you see a product claiming to be a "medical device" or registered with the MHRA, especially around Ai software, please check and raise a concern with the MHRA here :

It's a company NOT based in the UK, and hard to track down as they use virtual offices.
Not registered with MHRA as a medical device, and not conforming under UKCA registration.
Why the concern ? - it's now embedded within all GP practices in England and hospitals also. Private practices will also be using this. The NHS are unaware of the risk it poises to patients and to doctors.
Doctors can be struck off the GMC register under patient confidentiality, for example, and loose their career and employments.
