Andhra Pradesh to Launch Sanjeevani Digital Health Services

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said that the Sanjeevani health-record digitisation and services programme will be implemented across Andhra Pradesh starting Aug. 15 ^[1].

The initiative aims to modernize healthcare access by integrating artificial intelligence and home-based diagnostics into the state's public health infrastructure. This shift could reduce the burden on physical hospitals and streamline patient history management for millions of residents.

Sanjeevani focuses on three primary pillars: the digitisation of health records, AI-based doctor consultations, and the doorstep delivery of medical tests ^[1], ^[2]. By moving diagnostic services into the home, the government intends to make healthcare more accessible for those in remote areas or with limited mobility.

Under the new system, the state will offer 74 different types of medical tests through doorstep delivery ^[1]. This comprehensive range of tests is designed to ensure that preventative screening, and chronic disease monitoring can occur without requiring patients to travel to centralized clinics.

While the chief minister said Aug. 15 is the official statewide launch date ^[1], ^[2], some reports have indicated a deadline as early as July ^[3]. The discrepancy suggests an aggressive timeline for the initial rollout phases before the final August target.

The programme integrates AI-driven consultations to supplement traditional medical visits. These tools are intended to provide preliminary guidance and triage, ensuring that patients are directed to the appropriate level of care based on their digitised health data ^[2].
