As we speak, India is rolling out a work of public digital infrastructure called the National Health Stack. One of the components of this stack is the Personal Health Records (PHR) system.

At its core, the PHR system creates a common standard for managing and sharing health data, all with user consent. This system, which has already been announced by the Prime Minister, will change allow individuals to gain greater security and utility from their own data, and will transform the healthtech industry in India.

At the Healthathon 2020, we want to spread the word about the PHR system so that developers, entrepreneurs, investors, doctors, and other stakeholders from the public sector, private sector, and medical community can take part in this revolution in Indian healthtech,

Whether you are a programmer looking to build on top of the new PHR APIs or a business/medical student who wishes to come up with new business models and use cases for this technology, the Healthathon 2020 will be a great opportunity for you to learn about the PHR system while interacting with some of the best and brightest minds in the world of Indian healthtech.
