A third-party evaluation study of the ABDM was conducted between June-August 2025. The key findings of the evaluation study are highlighted below :

● ABDM has reduced waiting times, enabled cost savings, and improved service access, particularly benefiting women and underserved populations.

● Considering the well-structured strategic foundation, robust digital infrastructure rollout, and effective stakeholder engagement across public and private sectors, ABDM has brought in efficiency in the health service delivery ecosystem.

● Unified Health Interface (UHI) serves as a key digital gateway under ABDM, facilitating seamless discovery and delivery of health services and significantly enhancing accessibility, convenience, and reach of healthcare services for citizens

● ABDM has shown impact by enhancing healthcare efficiency, accessibility, and affordability, especially for underserved groups. Its interoperable infrastructure and cross-sectoral collaborations have driven systemic shifts, through broader integration and measurable health outcomes which are key to sustaining long term success

‘Privacy by Design’ is one of the key guiding principles of ABDM and there is no centralised repository of health data. ABDM facilitates secure data exchange between the intended stakeholders on the ABDM network after the patient’s consent. Also, before integrating with ABDM, digital health applications are validated in a Sandbox environment, and they also undergo security audits like WASA (Web Application Security Audit) to ensure data security.

ABDM enables interoperability by establishing common health data standards and developing registries for individuals, health facilities, healthcare professionals, and other necessary components. This allows various digital health systems across both public and private healthcare ecosystems to exchange data across healthcare providers, even when they use different digital platforms.

Technical support is provided for integration of any digital health solution with ABDM, including public health programs. Several national and state public health programme platforms including Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), Nikshay, Reproductive and Child Health (RCH), Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD), Gujarat’s TECHO, Uttar Pradesh’s eKavach, Rajasthan’s Pregnancy, Child Tracking and Health Services Management (PCTS), Tamil Nadu CMCHIS (Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme) are integrated with ABDM.

The Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, Shri. Prataprao Jadhav stated this in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
