The evolution of India’s digital health policy has spanned nearly half a decade since its inception in 2015. The Digital India Campaign was initiated to enhance digital infrastructure, thereby extending the reach of government services to the last mile. The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) is an endeavour in this direction to establish an integrated digital infrastructure with a need based approach for comprehensive healthcare delivery.
By navigating through the extensive policy framework for digital health, IITI DRISHTI CPS Foundation is sculpting its role in supporting India’s mission of universal healthcare. The infographic on the right showcases the implementation of the ABDM by the National Health Authority (NHA), bringing together various stakeholders of the healthcare ecosystem by leveraging emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, internet of things, blockchain and cloud computing. The mission is thus ensuring continuum of care by designing and building a digital health infrastructure, linking it with citizens through a unique health identification ID (UHID).
