NASSCOM Product Conclave, Bengaluru - 2019

Through the National Health Policy 2017 (NHP 2017) the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare envisages the goal of attaining Universal Healthcare for ALL at ALL ages, by increasing access, improving quality and lowering the cost of healthcare delivery. The policy lays significant emphasis on leveraging digital technologies for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of delivery of all the healthcare services. NDHB – National Digital Health Blueprint is an implementation framework for achieving these objectives stated in the NHP2017. The key features of the blueprint include a Federated Architecture, a set of architectural principles, a 5-layered system of architectural building blocks, Unique Health Id (UHID), privacy and consent management, national portability, EHR, applicable standards and regulations, health analytics and above all, multiple access channels like call centre, Digital Health India portal and MyHealth App. Deep appreciation of the NDHB is a must for all players working in Digital HealthTech Space. The Expert session on the features of the NDHB at NPC 2019, #HealthTech Summit is delivered by none other than the Chief Architect and Head of the Committee that authored this document.
