Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA Health ID)

Using ABHA (earlier known as Health ID) is the first step towards creating safer and efficient digital health records for you and your family. You can opt-in to create a digitally secure ABHA, which allows you to access and share your health data with your consent, with participating healthcare providers and payers.

ABDM now supports a feature that enables any participating user to opt out of the ABDM ecosystem. On availing the feature, a user can permanently delete or temporarily deactivate their ABHA. In case of deactivation, a user can later choose to reactivate their ABHA. On deletion, your ABHA will be permanently deleted, along with all your demographic details. You will not be able to retrieve any information tagged to your ABHA in future. You will never be able to access ABDM applications or any health records over the ABDM network with your deleted ABHA.On deactivation, you will lose access to all ABDM applications for the period of deactivation. Until you reactivate your ABHA, you will not be able to share your ABHA at any health facility or share your health records over the ABDM network.

From what I understand, it's a central database to capture data about an individual's health history and records.

How exactly is it going to help us? What are all entities that will have access to the data, and how secure is the data?

The website does mention that we can opt-out, but doesn't mention the steps to do it.
 
You know, dealing with spam calls would be tolerable to an extent. But imagine your insurance getting downright rejected because the data is out in the open and those insurance guys determine if you are worthy of an insurance or not.
