The National Health Authority has announced the successful integration of additional 13 digital health solutions in the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.

The significant additions gained in the last three months have taken the tally of ABDM integrated service applications to 40 since its launch on Sep 27, 2021. The ABDM partners’ ecosystem now consists of 16 government applications and 24 private sector applications.

The integration is a technological collaboration between ABDM and health tech service providers that will aid in bridging the gap between various digital platforms, user apps, and stakeholders in the digital health sector.

NHA CEO Dr R S Sharma welcomed the health tech innovators who are actively becoming a part of the ABDM ecosystem. NHA Cheif said that in the last seven months of the launch of ABDM, a growing number of popular user applications have integrated with the digital platform.

“NHA encourages this collaborative development as we aim to change the way Indian healthcare industry serves its 1.35 billion people” Dr Sharma further stated.

How are ABDM integrations achieved?

ABDM integrations are achieved through ABDM Sandbox (a digital space for experimentation created for testing integration processes before the digital health product is made live for the actual use).

Who can enrol for Sandbox?

Any digital health service provider/ developer can register on the ABDM Sandbox by following a pre-defined process of integrating and validating their software systems with the ABDM APIs.

Currently, 867 public and private sector integrators have enrolled under ABDM Sandbox for integrating and validating their software solutions under the scheme.

Here’s a list of 13 applications added to the ABDM Partners ecosystem in the last 3 months;

1. Health Management Information System solutions like DrucareOne by Drucare Pvt Ltd, Athma by Narayana Health Limited and Amrit by Piramal Swasthya Management and Research Institute.
