Abstract

Digital health initiatives, such as the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), are propelling the change of healthcare delivery in India. The rapid advancement of digital health technologies in India presents opportunities as well as challenges for the integration of traditional medical systems including Ayurveda. Even though most online resources concentrate on contemporary medicine, traditional systems like Ayurveda are also beginning to emerge in this evolving environment. It highlights how telemedicine, electronic health records (EHRs), mobile health apps, artificial intelligence (AI), and other technologies are making Ayurveda more broadly available, accessible, and effective electronic therapies. The article also discusses government health initiatives like the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) and the Ministry of AYUSH's contribution to Ayurveda's digital transformation. Important topics are rigorously reviewed, such as data interoperability, standardizing Ayurvedic nomenclature, and preserving the holistic nature of traditional treatment in a technologically advanced environment. The evaluation highlights the need for a cooperative approach that respects the fundamentals of Ayurveda while embracing the potential of new technologies.
