India's health ministry will launch a revamped version of Aarogya Setu, the app introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic, alongside a wider package of digital health platforms, on Monday.
The new app, described as a Personal Health Record (PHR) application, will let users create and manage an Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA), access and share digital health records, and exchange health information on a consent basis.
The app will also offer AI-generated health insights, draw in data from wearable devices, and allow outpatient registration and hospital payments through in-app scan features.
Additional functions listed in the release include locating nearby hospitals, doctors, ambulance services and blood banks, and accessing services under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), including hospital empanelment searches and a digital insurance wallet.
The revamped Aarogya Setu app is part of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, the government's broader programme to build the country's digital health infrastructure.
