Aarogya Setu 2.0 Launch: New Digital Health Platform Under Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission

The Government of India is set to launch Aarogya Setu 2.0 on June 29, 2026, marking a significant upgrade to its existing health application. The platform will be unveiled by Union Health Minister J P Nadda during a national health conference in New Delhi.

Initially introduced in 2020 for COVID-19 contact tracing, the app is now being repositioned under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). The updated version aims to provide a comprehensive digital healthcare access and management system.

Aarogya Setu 2.0 Features: ABHA, Digital Records and AI Tools

The upgraded Aarogya Setu 2.0 will enable users to create and manage their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) directly through the app. It will allow seamless access, storage and sharing of digital health records using a consent-based framework.

The platform will also introduce AI-powered health insights and smart reports to support better health monitoring. Additional features include integration with wearable devices, medication reminders and tools for managing family health records.

OPD Registration, Payments and Nearby Facilities

The app will offer multiple healthcare access services to simplify patient interactions with hospitals and clinics. Users can register for OPD services through a “Scan & Register” feature and make payments via “Scan & Pay” functionality and other services like,

• Nearby hospitals and doctors
• Ambulance services
• Blood banks with availability data
• Jan Aushadhi Kendras

Shift From COVID-19 App to Digital Healthcare Platform

Aarogya Setu was originally designed as a contact tracing and COVID-19 alert application during the pandemic. The relaunch represents a shift from its earlier role to a broader digital health platform.

The government is repositioning it as a central gateway for accessing multiple healthcare services. This transition reflects evolving priorities in India’s digital health strategy.

PM-JAY Integration and Additional Digital Health Services

The updated platform will integrate services related to Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), enabling users to search empanelled hospitals, access the AB PM-JAY wallet and view Ayushman CAPF policy details. Alongside this upgrade, the government will launch several complementary digital health initiatives on June 29, 2026.

These include the Enhanced Ayushman App, the Ayushman Sarathi WhatsApp chatbot, the National Health Claims Exchange (NHCX), the Drug Registry and CLCI standards, and the e-Sushrut Clinic. Together, these initiatives aim to strengthen digital healthcare delivery and improve access to public health services.
