ABHA
A unique health ID provided to every citizen to access healthcare services and their personal health records.
The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), in which ABHA is one of the building blocks, aims to develop the backbone necessary to support the integrated digital health infrastructure of the country. It aims to bridge the existing gap amongst different stakeholders of healthcare ecosystem through digital highways.
Getting Started
To integrate the Finarkein ABHA solution into your systems, there are multiple approaches available:
iFrame Based Integration
In this straightforward and fast integration method, we will configure the Finarkein ABHA frontend to support iframes for domains that you specify. The Finarkein ABHA frontend will send status events (e.g., SUCCESS, FAILED, CANCELLED) to the parent window using the Window#postMessage() method. You can use these events to determine when to close the iframe. Additionally, the ABHA profile, upon successful creation/verification, can also be exchanged.
Redirection Based Integration
In this approach, we require your internal system identifier (e.g., policy number) and an on-success redirection endpoint as encrypted URL parameters. We employ symmetric encryption and exchange keys securely. To prevent unauthorized ABHA journeys, we only serve redirection requests with valid encrypted URL parameters.
Once the user completes the journey, we redirect them to the endpoint you provided. As a response, the final redirection to your endpoint will also include encrypted URL parameters containing, at the very least, the internal system identifier shared between you and the ABHA number. You can then decrypt and record these parameters on your end.
For detailed guidance on the redirection-based integration, please refer to the Redirection Integration Guide provided.
Direct API Based Integration
For a more customized user experience, you can integrate directly with the Finarkein ABHA backend endpoints. We have provided comprehensive API documentation using Postman collection.
The available API leverages v2 endpoints provided by ABDM (ABHA Backend Development Module). The initial sections of the Postman documentation explain the high-level flow of the required encryption/decryption process.
Feel free to explore the API documentation for a deeper understanding of the direct API-based integration.
This documentation provides an overview of the various integration methods available for the Finarkein ABHA solution. Depending on your specific requirements and preferences, you can choose the integration approach that best suits your needs.
