ABDM Sandbox
ABDM Sandbox is a framework that will allow technologies or products
to be tested in the contained environment in compliance with NDHM
standards and judge the consumer and market reactions to the same
This will provide an opportunity to identify, understand, adapt, and respond to these
disruptive new products and services in a timely and appropriate fashion
Users of an NS can test the product’s viability without the need for a larger and more expensive
roll-out. If any concerns arise, during the sandbox period, appropriate modifications can be
made before the product is launched in the broader market

Stakeholders’
Suggestions
NDHM should take into consideration requirements where patients are not allowed to
access their medical records, some records which a doctor keeps with themselves such as
related to Mental Illness since it is mentioned in the Mental Health Act as well
Applications should be developed keeping ease of usage by healthcare professionals in
mind, as they are not well versed with the use of application or electronic devices
There should be a provision of cloud storage and applications for
facilities not having access to these and wanting to adopt NDHM systems
Prerequisites (software, hardware, any other requirements) should be provided, as
it would require everyone to be prepared for roll out of NDHM in a smooth way
Security and privacy of the data residing on the cloud platform should be taken care of, as
privacy of a patient is a major concern and there can be legal issues associated with it
As patient follow up is necessary, records that are captured at Health and Wellness
Center or in a District Hospital, should be synced and made available when the
patient is referred to any tertiary care hospital or vice versa
NDHM- A Gamechanger
 Complete Digital Health Eco-system with Health-ID,
DigiDoctor, Health Facility Registry, Personal Health
Records, e-Pharmacies and Telemedicine
 Ability to securely Store and Access medical records
(prescriptions, diagnostic reports, discharge summaries)
 Pilots rolled in Six Union Territories (Andaman &
Nicobar, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar, Daman & Diu,
Lakshadweep, Ladakh, Puducherry)
 Enrolling in the NDHM is voluntary; data can only be
shared after approval from individuals
 DigiDoctor will allow doctors from across the country to
register on the platform; this helps in providing
telemedicine services
