Platform

Clinical infrastructure for governed healthcare

Six infrastructure components that operationalise the Seven Flows. One applied product that proves it. Governance as infrastructure, not overhead.

Inference Clinical builds the shared infrastructure that lets healthcare systems innovate safely, repeatedly, and at scale — without rebuilding governance every time.

Every digital health project rebuilds the same foundations

Identity management. Consent tracking. Clinical safety cases. Data provenance. Each project treats these as bespoke problems, burning budget and time on infrastructure that should exist as shared capability.

The result: stalled innovation, repeated assurance cycles, and clinician trust that erodes with every failed deployment.

Fragmented foundations

No shared infrastructure for identity, consent, or safety across NHS digital initiatives.

Assurance bottlenecks

Clinical Safety Officers (CSOs) overwhelmed by manual compliance. Safety as paperwork, not continuous system.

Interoperability theatre

Point-to-point integrations that don't preserve provenance or governance.

Innovation stalls

Promising pilots die in procurement because governance can't scale.

A coherent infrastructure stack

Six core components that work together. Each addresses specific governance flows while maintaining interoperability across the complete framework.

Data Movement

FHIR Plane

The national-scale interoperability and routing layer that governs how clinical data moves safely between systems, organisations, and care settings.

Think: Control plane for healthcare data movement. Not just integration — identity-aware, consent-aware, provenance-tracked data flow.
Identity Provenance Service Routing
Patient State

FHIR Cube

A provenance-preserving clinical data substrate that turns fragmented records into analysable, auditable patient timelines.

Think: Longitudinal patient state, not storage. Not a data warehouse — a clinically safe, queryable patient state engine.
Provenance Outcome
Terminology

Semantic Factory

Terminology and meaning services that ensure data, protocols, and AI reason consistently across systems and organisations.

Think: Semantic coherence layer. SNOMED, value sets, mappings, computable meaning — treated as infrastructure.
Clinical Intent Outcome
Clinical Workflows

Protocol Factory

A governed system for defining, versioning, and executing clinical protocols across organisations and pathways.

Think: Clinical behaviour as code. From guidelines to computable workflows, without hard-coding logic into apps.
Clinical Intent Service Routing

Consent Graph

A dynamic, graph-based consent and permissions engine that governs who can do what, with which data, and under what lawful basis.

Think: Policy decision point for healthcare. Not a checkbox — a living consent state with full auditability.
Consent Identity
Clinical Safety

Hazards Engine

Clinical safety infrastructure that continuously identifies, tracks, and mitigates risk across digital pathways in line with Data Coordination Board (DCB) 0129/0160.

Think: Safety as an always-on system, not a PDF. Making safety systematic, not document-driven.
Alert & Responsibility Clinical Intent Outcome

SteadyTrace

A clinically-designed remote monitoring application that proves the platform in real patient use — starting with cardiac and autonomic signals.

Not a standalone app. A wedge product that exercises identity, consent, safety, protocols, and data flows end-to-end.

Every component maps to the Seven Flows

The platform isn't a collection of tools — it's a coherent implementation of the governance substrate.

Expertise to implement

Platform infrastructure gets you capability. Professional services help you deploy, integrate, and operationalise.

Governance Assessment

Map your current state against the Seven Flows. Identify gaps, risks, and priority interventions.

Clinical Safety

DCB0129/0160 implementation, hazard workshops, Clinical Safety Case development.

Technical Integration

FHIR implementation, UK Core profiling, system integration architecture.

Training

CSO training, governance workshops, team capability development.

From clarity to delivery

Platform infrastructure is powerful. But it requires careful implementation. We've designed a deliberate approach that protects both sides.
