Medical histories, test reports and prescriptions are the most private information any organisation can hold. The DPDP Act expects hospitals, clinics, labs and health-tech platforms to guard it very carefully. DPDP.ai joins consent, patient requests and vendor tracking into one system, helping you keep patient trust and stay ready for audits.

Why it matters
Impact of DPDP on
Impact of DPDP on
Medical and Health Sectors
Hospitals and digital health platforms act as Data Fiduciaries. The labs, billing firms, medicine delivery partners and cloud providers serving them are Data Processors. DPDP.ai lets you manage those roles from a single platform across every department and facility.
Consent that works at every desk
Admission, outpatient visits, apps and teleconsultations each collect permission differently, often on paper. DPDP.ai offers multilingual, purpose-linked notices and one ledger for every consent and withdrawal that is synced across systems.
Care for children and dependants
Data of a child usually requires a parent's or guardian's verifiable consent. DPDP.ai logs guardian consent and marks cases needing verification.
Dates to build around
Consent Manager registration begins on 13 November 2026, and core duties apply from 13 May 2027. DPDP.ai's modules (Consent Core, Flow, Control, Govern) let you begin with consent and expand coverage step by step.
Outside parties mapped
Fast data releases, outdated privacy notices, and weak deletion schedules keep data too long. With DPDP.ai you get regular reviews, automated deletion, and current vendor records.
Being Act Complaint
A single violation can cost up to ₹250 crore, depending on which duty was missed. DPDP.ai reduces the risk through controls you can prove.
