What is the Business Development Promotion?

The Business Development Promotion (DHIH) is a proposed platform by the Government of India to facilitate the development and adoption of digital health solutions in the country. The DHIH aims to provide a conducive ecosystem for startups, innovators, researchers, and stakeholders to collaborate and co-create digital health products and services that can address the unmet needs of the Indian healthcare system.

Why is the Business Development Promotion important?

The DHIH is important because it can help India leverage the potential of digital health to improve the accessibility, affordability, and quality of healthcare for its citizens. Digital health can enable the delivery of personalized, preventive, and participatory care, as well as empower patients and providers with data and insights. The DHIH can also help India become a global leader in digital health innovation, by fostering a culture of experimentation, learning, and scaling.

What are the benefits of the Business Development Promotion?

The DHIH can offer several benefits for the digital health sector, such as:

• Providing a one-stop shop for digital health innovators to access resources, mentorship, funding, and market opportunities
• Creating a network of digital health stakeholders, including government, academia, industry, civil society, and end-users, to exchange knowledge, ideas, and feedback
• Establishing a regulatory sandbox for testing and validating digital health solutions in a safe and controlled environment
• Supporting the adoption and integration of digital health solutions in the public and private healthcare systems, as well as the National Digital Health Mission
• Enhancing the awareness and trust of digital health among the public and the healthcare professionals
