How will the Health ID revolutionize the healthcare ecosystem

As part of Arogya Manthan 3.0, Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) launched an online form for health ID cards. Here’s compiled information on what a health ID is and what it means for us.

What is a Health ID?

The national health ID will be a repository of all health-related information of a person. According to the National Health Authority (NHA), every patient who wishes to have their health records available digitally must start by creating this Health ID. Each Health ID will be linked to a health data consent manager, such as National Digital Health Mission (NDHM), which will be used to seek the patient’s consent and allow for seamless flow of health information from the Personal Health Records module. The Health ID is created by using a person’s basic details and mobile number or Aadhaar number. 

What was the original proposal for the health ID?

The National Health Policy 2017 had envisaged creation of a digital health technology eco-system aiming at developing an integrated health information system that serves the needs of all stakeholders and improves efficiency, transparency and citizens’ experience with linkage across public and private healthcare
