We have developed a fetal heart rate (FHR) monitor used for NST-CTG Scans. Our goal is to seamlessly link the generated PDF reports to the respective mothers’ or patients’ ABHA IDs within the Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission (ABDHM) ecosystem.
Our device is currently employed in hospitals and operates under the supervision of healthcare professionals. As part of our long-term vision, we plan to extend its usage for home monitoring, allowing mothers/patients to use the device directly.
In alignment with ABDHM guidelines, we understand that Health Information Providers (HIPs) need to be registered in the Health Facility Registry (HFR). However, we have noted that the HFR primarily includes entries for hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, imaging centers, and pharmacies, among others.
Given our unique position as a medical device manufacturing company, we seek clarification regarding our eligibility to register as an HIP in the HFR. Specifically, we would like to inquire if it is possible for a medical device manufacturing company like ours to register under the HFR.
If registration under the HFR is not applicable to our situation, we kindly request guidance on the appropriate course of action to directly link the PDF reports generated by the device to the patient’s ABHA ID within the ABDHM ecosystem.
We appreciate any assistance in addressing this matter, as it is crucial for ensuring the seamless integration of our device into the ABDHM infrastructure, enhancing healthcare services for mothers and patients in India.
