The platform has been planned to improve efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of health service delivery. The health ID will be in the form of a mobile application of website;which is basically a digital format of all his/her health records which will be linked to the registry of doctors and health facilities across the country.

This health account will contain details of  every test, every disease, the doctors visited, the medicines taken and the diagnosis. This information will be very useful as it is portable and easily accessible even if the patient shifts to new place and visits a new doctor.

The health ID card is created with details like Aadhar and mobile number and generate unique ID for each individual.
