Healthcare data security and compliance

ABDM / Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission

ABDM-ready architecture — sandbox-validated against NHA APIs. HIP certification in progress (target Q2 2026); production HIP push goes live for your facility once your facility ID is registered with NHA.

ABHA (Health Account) verification and linking at patient registration (sandbox-validated)
Patient consent management with ABDM consent manager callbacks (GRANTED/DENIED/REVOKED)
FHIR R4 document bundles with NDHM coding system
PM-JAY claim generation via NHA API (beneficiary verification, pre-auth, claims, status)
Ayushman Card verification at OPD registration
Two-way health record exchange — HIP push (outbound) and HIU pull (inbound) with encryption
Note: HIP certification (NHA's production attestation) is in progress. The integration code is sandbox-validated; live ABDM exchange requires the certification to land. We will not market a feature as live until it is.
