National Health Authority upgraded the ABHA smartphone app

The National Health Authority (NHA) under its flagship scheme of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) announced the launch of a revamped Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) mobile application. The ABHA app, formerly known as the NDHM Health Records app, is available for download from the Google Play Store and has already received over four lakh downloads, according to the Union Health Ministry. The ABHA app has been updated with a new User Interface and new functions that allow users to view their health records at any time and from any location.

ABHA App Key Points:

Existing ABHA app users can also update to the most recent version of the app. The ABHA mobile application allows users to create an ABHA address, which is a simple username that can be linked to the 14-digit ABHA number created at random.

Users can also link their health records created at an Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission-compliant health institution and access them on their smartphones using the mobile application. After an individual’s approval, the programme also allows self-uploading of physical health records as well as exchange of digital health documents such as diagnostic reports, prescriptions, and CoWIN vaccination certificates.
