The lifetime digital health profile
A lifetime valid digital health profile with a digital health card, an annual disease statistical report, and personal health cloud access — for every beneficiary in the programme.
Four categories, coded
| Category | What is recorded | Coded in |
|---|---|---|
| Identity and demographics | Name, age, sex, contact, ABHA number | ABDM |
| Conditions and findings | Screening findings, diagnoses, problem list | SNOMED CT, ICD |
| Investigations | Blood grouping, complete blood picture, thyroid, lipid panels | LOINC |
| Medications | Current and past prescribing | ATC |
| Imaging | Where captured, including CT and MRI under EPIC | DICOM |
| Consent | What is shared, with whom, for how long | ABDM consent artefact |
The reason it is worth doing
Two very different things
The emergency view is small and open
Blood group, allergies, conditions, medications and emergency contact. Readable by a scan, because in an emergency there is nobody to ask for consent.
The full record is large and closed
Everything else requires the person's consent to read, scoped to a purpose and a period.
Three properties
It is attached to an identity that outlives us
The ABHA number belongs to the person and the national system, not to Aid By Care.
It is written in standard codes
A record in SNOMED CT and LOINC remains readable by any conforming system, including ones that do not exist yet.
It is portable by design
Multi-tenant architecture allows a provider or a person to port data out to any FHIR-enabled application of their choice, on demand.

The card is the profile made physical.
