Nabhya Health

Preventive care infrastructure · India

Find health risk early, close to where people are.

Nabhya Health brings screening, clinicians and follow-up into communities, as programmes that report what they deliver.

The case

Most chronic illness is found too late.

About one in three Indian adults has high blood pressure, and about one in nine has diabetes. Both are long-term conditions that need regular measurement and follow-up.

  1. 01

    Too few specialists

    Doctors and specialists are concentrated far from where most rural families live.

  2. 02

    Care is far away

    Distance to a facility and delayed referrals mean illness is often diagnosed late.

  3. 03

    No continuity

    Without a record that follows the person, a first reading rarely becomes a follow-up.

The model

Four parts, one system.

Built to work wherever people already gather. It starts in villages.

  • Health Point

    A screening station where people already gather. In villages, one for every 100 families.

  • Health Agent

    A trained local health worker, drawn from self-help groups, gram sevaks and anganwadi workers.

  • Clinician network

    Doctors and a specialist panel at a Health Command Centre, reached by teleconsultation.

  • Platform

    One health record per person, an AI risk engine that flags concerns for doctors, and dashboards for officials.

Programmes

Three programmes. One standard.

Each serves a defined group of people, reports what it delivers, and is labelled proposed until it operates.

  • StatusProposed pilot

    Rural Health & Preventive Care

    Screening, teleconsultation and follow-up for 1 crore citizens in one state over 36 months, through a Village Health Point for every 100 families.

The care journey

From first screening to follow-up.

No one has to find the next step alone. This is the proposed design.

  1. 01

    Outreach

    Health AgentExplains the programme at community meetings and home visits.

    PlatformTracks which households have been reached.

  2. 02

    Registration

    Health AgentRegisters each person, with their consent.

    PlatformCreates a secure record, designed to link to ABHA.

  3. 03

    Health profile

    Health AgentRecords history, medicines and basic measurements.

    PlatformBuilds a digital health profile that stays with the person.

  4. 04

    Screening

    Health AgentMeasures temperature, pulse, blood pressure, blood oxygen and ECG.

    PlatformRecords every reading against the person's profile.

  5. 05

    Risk identification

    Health AgentExplains results in plain language.

    PlatformFlags readings that need a doctor. The AI flags; a doctor decides.

  6. 06

    Consultation or referral

    Health AgentConnects the person to a doctor by video.

    PlatformRoutes to a specialist, an empanelled lab or a Jan Aushadhi Kendra when needed.

  7. 07

    Follow-up

    Health AgentChecks in on schedule and repeats screening.

    PlatformSchedules follow-ups and alerts the agent when one is missed.

Flagship programme

15 lakh first. 1 crore only if it works.

The Rural Health & Preventive Care Programme is proposed for one state over 36 months. Each phase closes with an audited outcome report before the next begins.

Who we serve

Built for the people accountable for population health.

  • Governments and public programmes

    Population-scale screening with live visibility of enrolment, screening and referrals.

    For governments
  • Funders and CSR

    A defined programme, phase-gated commitments and independently audited outcome reports.

    For funders
  • Care and technology partners

    Roles for hospitals, labs, device makers, NGOs and SHG federations.

    For partners

Governance

Every programme shows its work.

Four commitments a department can hold us to.

  1. 01Phase gates

    Each phase ends with an audited outcome report. The next phase starts only after it is reviewed.

  2. 02Medical supervision

    A specialist panel oversees clinical decisions and reviews cases.

  3. 03Live dashboards

    Officials see enrolment, screening, referrals and follow-ups as they happen.

  4. 04Data protection by design

    Built to comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and designed for ABDM and ABHA interoperability. Consent comes before any record is created.

What we report

Ten numbers, published after every phase.

Each phase ends with an independently audited report on the same ten indicators, so progress can be compared phase to phase.

  • People covered
  • Families enrolled
  • Health Points active
  • Health Agents certified
  • Screening sessions
  • Abnormal findings
  • AI risk alerts reviewed
  • Teleconsultations
  • Referrals completed
  • Follow-ups completed

The first report follows the end of Phase 1.

Policy fit

Built to strengthen what already exists.

  • Ayushman Bharat

    Extends screening and follow-up to the household, linked to Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.

  • National Health Mission

    Feeds non-communicable disease screening data into existing programmes.

  • Digital health

    Records designed for ABHA linkage under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.

  • Maternal & child health

    Works alongside the anganwadi networks already in place.

  • Rural livelihoods

    Creates local health jobs for women from self-help groups and anganwadi pools.

Nabhya Health is an independent organisation. Listing a scheme here describes alignment, not endorsement.
