Bangalore, October 27 2021: Private healthcare platform Eka Care is to facilitate the creation of Health IDs under Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission (ABDM).
In order to issue a Health ID to an individual, Eka will require basic demography and contact details and pass it on to the ABDM system. The ID will be used for uniquely identifying persons, authenticating them and maintaining their own and family’s health records (only with the informed consent of the individual) across multiple systems and stakeholders.
Eka.Care, became the first company to integrate with the CoWIN portal in June this year, allowing booking of vaccination slots.
