The Government of India launched the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission to promote healthcare digitisation and to build an open, interoperable digital health ecosystem for the country. It intends to accomplish this by prescribing common health data standards and developing core modules such as the registry of health facilities, healthcare professionals, and other interoperability requirements, so that various digital health systems can interact with one another by enabling seamless data sharing across various healthcare providers who may use different digital health systems.

The integration of various resources is the primary focus on digitisation of processes in healthcare institutions. As a result, the goal of ABDM is to bridge the gap between the various stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem.

In the same vein, the National Health Authority (NHA) launched a public dashboard for near real-time information on its flagship scheme, ABDM, in May of this year. The ABDM public dashboard provides detailed information on the mission's core registries, which include Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) numbers, Healthcare Professionals Registry (HPR), and Health Facility Registry (HFR).

On August 15, 2020, the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) pilot project was launched in the six union territories of Ladakh, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Puducherry, Lakshadweep and Andaman, and the Nicobar Islands. On September 27, 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the nationwide rollout of this pilot project under the name "Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission."
