The Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) is an initiative launched by the government under the ABDM. It is an unique identifier that uses a 14-digit identification ABHA number and ABHA Address, a self declared username. For an example ABHA number would look like 70 7463 2446 5247 , and ABHA address would be JohnDoe154@abdm.Indian citizens can create their unique ABHA without any cost.

The Government of India initiated the Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission (ABDM) on September 27th, 2021. The ABDM aim was to provide an online platform that facilitates interoperability throughout the digital ecosystem. The goal of this mission was to provide all the citizens of India with a digital health ID “Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA)”, formerly known as the Health ID or Health ID Card that will facilitate easy access to medical records. This unique ID can be created by any Indian citizen under the ABDM programme and can be used from anywhere in India. Thus, users can share their health information with medical professionals across India without any geographical barriers. In order to make healthcare safe, secure, and easily available to the right individuals, the digital ABHA acts as a bridge between many stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem

To generate and issue the ABHA number/address to a user, certain basic details must be collected during the individual ABHA creation including demographic information, location, contact details. If needed, users can update contact information easily once the ABHA is created.The ABHA number/address will be used for the purposes of uniquely identifying the individual, authenticating them, and linking their health records with the informed consent across multiple systems and stakeholders.

Maintaining all the past medical reports when visiting a primary care physician or when traveling to a new place can be hectic. It would be a lot more convenient if all medical information was stored digitally and accessed or shared on a need basis. Keeping this in mind, the Indian government launched a digital initiative “Ayushman Bharat Health Account” a universal health ID.ABHA standardizes the identification process of an individual across healthcare providers.
