“…It was also used during Covid-19 pandemic for pandemic control and surveillance, vaccine passport monitoring, and contact tracing. [36] 5 Way forward: While India has made substantial progress in implementing digital health through initiatives like the ABDM, there is still room for improvement. Digital technology should complement existing healthcare services rather than serve as a replacement.…”

The computerization of healthcare records started in the 1960s and later evolved into "digital health." In India, the momentum gained from the success of digital health initiatives led to the launch of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. It aimed to overcome systemic barriers by acting as a single source of truth. Since its inception, the mission has achieved notable progress due to various government initiatives to expedite the implementation; however, challenges like limited saturation, low healthcare provider adoption etc still persist. User-driven, need-based targeted efforts are essential for improving digital literacy, providing affordable devices, strengthening data security measures, and building capacity to improve the overall output, outcome, and impact on health service delivery. This article has attempted to depict the journey of digital health in India while highlighting achievements, challenges, and anticipated opportunities like AI, IoT, and blockchain technology in the Indian digital health sector. Through synthesis of information from various sources, this article aims to contribute to the discourse on digital health in India, offering insights that may inform policy decisions.

“…The growing extent of digital transformation of medicine and patient data increases the difficulties of data storage and increases the risk of data loss, leakage, and tampering. 1 In their review of “Emerging technologies revolutionizing universal health coverage,” Babatunde et al 2 embrace three such technologies: the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and blockchain technology. They have blockchains’ immutability, cybersecurity, and interoperability characteristics as those which would facilitate adequate data privacy, storage, and management at minimal cost and risk.…”

“…With the development of advanced tools such as machine learning, the immutability of decentralized networks serves the additional purpose of producing more accurate results as much less data is lost. 2 In terms of convenience, keeping patients’ medical data organized throughout their lifetime will also reduce the burden on the patients themselves. One study found that in the United States, an average patient sees 18.7 different physicians and has 19 medical records during their lifetime.…”

Digital transformation of healthcare systems should rely on decentralized computer networks and take advantage of the unique characteristics of blockchain technology. Decentralization ensures process transparency and data transparency for all relevant stakeholders. These values are essential in the realms of populations’ healthcare information communications and processing, control and tracking of medical logistics supply chains, clinical research management, and control of certified healthcare services organizations. Mounting decentralized processes onto a blockchain-based computerized network will endow the values of immutability, improved cybersecurity, and potential for incentivizing stakeholders for relevant, pre-determined activities. One of the most relevant processes that would benefit from a decentralized, blockchain-based architecture is the submission, review, and publishing of scientific manuscripts. Current structures and processes in this world are non-transparent, poorly incentivizing significant stakeholders such as manuscripts’ reviewers, and many are potentially corrupted. In this review, we suggest a blockchain-based architecture for such systems and advocate further research and development in several domains of modern healthcare systems—offering medicine to become “the new guy on the block (chain).”

“…Within numerous African communities, there exists a dearth of knowledge and comprehension pertaining to dementia and Alzheimer's disease on precision medicine. The absence of sufficient awareness results in a delay in diagnosing the condition, the perpetuation of social stigma, and suboptimal utilization of the resources that are currently accessible [8] . Numerous African nations face the challenge of inadequate healthcare infrastructure, characterized by a scarcity of healthcare professionals, particularly specialists in the fields of neurology and genetics [9] .…”
