Aria’s digital prescription system revolutionizes how doctors create and patients access prescriptions. Built on ABHA standards, every prescription is permanently linked to the patient’s medical record and accessible anytime, anywhere.

ABHA Integration

Aria is fully integrated with India’s Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) infrastructure.

What is ABHA?

ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) is a unique 14-digit health ID that enables:
  • Unified Medical Records: All prescriptions and records linked to one ID
  • Interoperability: Share records across healthcare providers
  • Patient Control: Patients own and control their health data
  • Lifetime Access: Permanent medical record that never gets lost
