The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission gives every Indian a health ID, links records across hospitals and labs, and puts consent in the patient’s hands. CareIntell™ plans to connect to it as integration progresses, so that, with consent, records from participating providers can join your parents’ history.

Important: ABHA is not a record store. It is an identity anchor that links records held by each provider — which is exactly why an organizing layer like CareIntell™ matters.
ABDM is digital public infrastructure, not an app. It provides the registries and gateways that let any hospital, lab, insurer or health platform exchange records safely — with the patient’s consent at the centre.
A unique 14-digit health account for every citizen — the connective tissue across all health interactions.
A verified directory of practitioners, so you know the doctor accessing a record is who they say they are. Over 9.85 lakh registered.
A verified directory of hospitals, clinics and labs. Over 5.33 lakh facilities registered.
Every data exchange passes through here, and only with patient consent. No direct provider-to-provider transfer outside this framework.
Lets patients discover and book health services across the network, much as UPI works for payments.
Makes insurance claims data interoperable, reducing paperwork and settlement delays.
End fragmentation between public and private healthcare with a federated national health infrastructure.
HL7 FHIR R4 for all shared clinical records, with open APIs available to public and private innovators alike.
₹1,600 crore sanctioned across FY 2021–22 to FY 2025–26 under the National Health Authority.
Universal health coverage and lower out-of-pocket cost by ending duplicate diagnostics.
Latest figures published by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, as of 10 July 2026.
Scan & Share has cut OPD registration from 30–40 minutes to 5–10 minutes at participating hospitals.
Among patients who use ABDM, over 80% found registration easier. The challenge is reaching the people who have not tried it.
Private providers account for only about 2% of records shared through ABDM, and most linked records are registration data rather than full clinical history.
Prescriptions, lab reports, discharge summaries and immunizations link to one ABHA and stay reachable from any ABDM-compliant app.
Scan & Share sends your details to the hospital desk instead of filling a form, cutting registration from 30–40 minutes to 5–10.
Access is purpose-specific, time-bound and revocable. You choose which record types a provider can see, and for how long.
When a new doctor can see the last scan, you pay for it once. Reducing duplicate diagnostics is an explicit mission objective.
ABHA is the identity layer for AB-PMJAY, CoWIN and other national programs, so entitlements follow the same number.
ABDM’s data policy lets you pre-designate a family member to give consent if you cannot. Rarely set up in practice — and the gap CareIntell™ is built around.
As a Health Information User, a facility can request records from other ABDM-linked providers instead of relying on patient recall.
HPR registration confirms qualifications and specialty, building patient trust and satisfying empanelment checks.
NHCX makes claims data interoperable, and digital records support AB-PMJAY documentation with less back-and-forth.
Three milestones: ABHA at registration, then FHIR R4 record linking, then bidirectional exchange as both HIP and HIU.
The Digital Health Incentive Scheme rewards adoption, and eSushrut Lite offers an ABDM-ready HMIS at ₹299 a month for smaller facilities.
A late-2025 directive to AB-PMJAY empanelled private hospitals in Bihar made ABDM compliance a condition of continued empanelment — widely read as a precedent.
Linking results to ABHA means the patient and their doctors find the report where they expect it, rather than in a WhatsApp thread.
HFR registration makes a lab discoverable across the network, and UHI opens up service discovery and booking.
Diagnostic labs that integrate with ABDM for record linkage are eligible under the Digital Health Incentive Scheme.
FHIR R4 bundles with reference ranges and ordering physician make results machine-readable, which scanned PDFs never are.
When prior results are visible, clinicians re-order less. Better for the patient, and better for panel utilisation planning.
Parameter naming and units still vary between labs, which blocks automated aggregation. This is where an interpretation layer earns its place.
We are starting with user-uploaded medical records, recognising that interoperability across India’s healthcare ecosystem is still evolving.
CareIntell plans to integrate with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) as the infrastructure matures and participation in digital health interoperability expands, particularly among private healthcare providers. This will enable our customers, subject to availability and consent, to seamlessly retrieve medical records from multiple participating hospitals through the network.
We believe this evolution will significantly strengthen CareIntell’s value to families and physicians by bringing together a more complete, longitudinal view of a person’s medical history.
Connect your parent’s ABHA once, and records already linked at ABDM-enabled hospitals and labs flow into one place.
Most history predates ABDM or sits with non-integrated clinics. Upload it by photo or PDF and we read, label and file it alongside.
Diagnosis codes, drug names and lab labels vary by facility. We normalise them so medications, visits and chronic conditions become trends.
A doctor-ready summary a treating clinician can read in 60 seconds, shared through a consent path prepared before it is needed.
ABDM’s consent flow needs an active approval from a patient’s app. An unconscious patient cannot give it. The policy provides for a pre-designated family nominee, but almost nobody sets one up in advance — so access fails exactly when records matter most.
CareIntell™ treats that preparation as the product: nominee configuration, a summary that does not depend on a live fetch, and an audit trail for every access.

The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission is India’s national digital health infrastructure, launched on 27 September 2021 and run by the National Health Authority. It is the successor to the National Digital Health Mission, which was piloted across six Union Territories from August 2020.
It is not an app you download. It is the set of registries and gateways that let hospitals, labs, insurers and health platforms exchange records with your consent.
No. ABHA is a 14-digit identity anchor, not a store. Your records stay with the hospital or lab that created them. ABHA is the reference that lets those records be found, and the consent framework decides who may see them.
This is why an organizing layer matters: linking is not the same as having a readable history.
There are several routes: Aadhaar-based authentication with an OTP to the registered mobile, mobile number and OTP without Aadhaar, driving licence verification, an assisted or offline mode for low-connectivity areas, and hospital registration desks, which can create one on the patient’s behalf.
An ABHA Address such as name@abdm is created alongside the number for easier sharing.
For patients it is voluntary. For providers it is becoming a condition of doing business: HFR and HPR registration are prerequisites for government empanelment and insurance participation, and a late-2025 directive to AB-PMJAY empanelled private hospitals in Bihar made full ABDM compliance a condition of continued empanelment.
Only whoever you grant consent to, for the purpose and period you specify. ABDM’s consent model is purpose-specific, time-bound, granular by record type, revocable at any time, and mediated — every exchange passes through the HIE-CM gateway rather than provider to provider.
Data also stays federated: it remains with the source provider, and the consent manager orchestrates access rather than storage.
This is the framework’s hardest problem. ABDM’s consent flow needs an active, app-mediated approval, which an unconscious patient cannot give. The Health Data Management Policy allows a pre-designated nominee — usually a family member — to consent instead, but nominee registration is rarely completed in advance.
Separately, the DPDP Act 2023 introduces deemed consent where life is in immediate danger, which is more permissive than ABDM’s nominee route. Organizations have to satisfy both frameworks at once.
Practical advice: set the nominee up now, and keep a summary that does not depend on a live consent fetch.
Yes. Consent is revocable and withdrawal is meant to propagate in real time across every provider and requester. Implementations vary in how completely they support this, which is one of the practical weaknesses the ecosystem is still working through.
Almost certainly not in full. Around 105 crore records are linked across roughly 94 crore IDs, barely one per person, and the majority of those are OPD registration records rather than rich clinical histories. Historical records are rarely linked retrospectively, so most ABHA data starts from the date of registration.
Private providers contribute only about 2% of records shared through ABDM, and specialist care such as oncology, cardiology and mental health is poorly represented.
Cost and complexity. Integration is estimated at ₹3–10 lakh for a mid-size hospital, the Sandbox to production pathway takes 8–12 weeks minimum including a CERT-IN security audit, and legacy hospital systems need real work to emit FHIR R4. Staff training and parallel paper workflows add to the load, and the near-term incentive is regulatory rather than commercial.
As of December 2024, 21,479 private facilities were ABDM-enabled against 1,31,065 government facilities.
It can carry them, but it cannot read them. Prescriptions, discharge summaries and lab reports are frequently uploaded as scanned images or PDFs rather than structured FHIR bundles, and diagnosis coding, drug naming and lab labelling vary between facilities. Records often also lack the ordering physician, clinical indication or reference ranges.
Turning that into a usable timeline is the work CareIntell™ does.
Not yet. We are DPDPA aligned, and ABDM integration is planned for Phase 2, targeted for Q2 2027. We will update this page when it is live, and we will not claim certification before then.
No. You can start by uploading what you already have — prescriptions, reports, discharge summaries — and we organize it. Linking an ABHA adds whatever ABDM-enabled providers have recorded, so the two work better together.
Find out how prepared your family actually is, then join the early access list.
