An important element of the ABDM mission is the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) universal health ID, which aims to bring the advantages of India’s digital healthcare ecosystem to people across the country. The health ID enables its holders to store their health-related information, like lab reports or prescriptions, and easily share and receive it with participating healthcare groups across the country.
Through a partnership with Eka Care, an authorized issuer of the digital health IDs, we will be making the ABHA ID cards available on Google Wallet starting next year.
This will enable the more than 600 million ABHA ID holders to access their cards readily and easily on their smartphones.
To ensure the privacy of sensitive health information, people will be required to authenticate their device with a fingerprint, PIN or passcode in order to add or access their ABHA health ID in Google Wallet.
