Abstract
The digital health landscape in India is experiencing a profound shift with initiatives like the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) that aim to enhance healthcare delivery, particularly for underserved populations. ABHA, part of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), is designed to empower individuals by providing them with a unique health ID, making health records accessible, interoperable, and portable. This manuscript explores the potential of ABHA to transform oral health care in India, focusing on how this digital health strategy can improve access, enhance care continuity, and empower patients. Through data-driven insights, case studies, and literature, we evaluate the role of ABHA in overcoming key oral health challenges and propose strategies for maximizing its impact.
