There are no global parallels to explain ABDM. But closer to home, the UPI framework can be used to understand ABDM quite easily. UPI enables you to transfer money from one entity to another irrespective of which bank the two entities have their accounts in. Similarly, ABDM will enable the movement of health information from one entity to another irrespective of whether the two are connected to each other or not.
If you get your health check-up done at any lab and want to share the reports with your Doctor (or Hospital or Insurance Co.), the same can be done with a click. It creates a seamless and secure digital infrastructure for healthcare data exchange in India.
ABDM empowers individuals by giving them control over their health data, streamlines hospital workflows, and improves access to healthcare. It fosters innovation by enabling developers and startups to build services on top of this digital health stack—similar to how UPI revolutionized fintech.
