Digital health records, with their efficiency and patient empowerment, are on the verge of revolutionizing the healthcare landscape. India possesses unique advantages, including a clean slate with the absence of legacy systems that make innovation, transformation, and disruption highly feasible. With a sizable, tech-savvy population and a growing appetite for digital services, the nation stands at the precipice of healthcare digitization. The progress will be driven by the determination of innovators and supported by government initiatives like ABDM. As a member of the IAMAI HealthTech leadership, I eagerly anticipate collaborating with peers, the government, and the entire healthcare ecosystem to unlock new frontiers and ensure a seamless healthcare journey for every citizen.”
