SIH 2025 — Ministry of Ayush

Key Decisions

  • FHIR R4-aligned API design — standardized resource types (Patient, Encounter, Condition, MedicationRequest) mapped to traditional medicine concepts.
  • ICD-11 TM2 code mapping — Ayurvedic, Unani, and Siddha diagnoses mapped to international classification codes for cross-system interoperability.
  • NAMASTE integration layer — bidirectional data flow between the national portal and hospital EMR systems.
  • Standards-driven architecture — designed for adoption by any EHR system following ABDM (Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission) guidelines.

Outcome

Selected among top 5 teams out of 500+ at the national Grand Finale (Ministry of Education, AICTE). Demonstrated working FHIR-aligned APIs under continuous expert evaluation.
