As a result, users can now store and access health records such as vaccination records, doctor prescriptions, lab reports, hospital discharge summaries etc on DigiLocker.
DigiLocker had earlier completed level 1 integration with ABDM wherein the platform had added ABHA or Ayushman Bharat Health Account creation facility for its 13 crore users.
The latest integration will now enable users to utilize DigiLocker as a Personal Health Records (PHR) app. In addition to this, ABHA holders can also link their health records from different ABDM registered health facilities like hospitals and labs and access them via DigiLocker.
Users can also scan and upload their old health records on the app.
Further, they can share selected records with ABDM registered healthcare professionals.
