Digital health is at the forefront of the healthcare revolution, providing innovative solutions that have the power to redefine patient care and outcomes. However, to fully harness the potential of these technologies, trust and compliance are paramount. The OIDPM, a brainchild of the ORCHA-Alpha MD partnership, is specifically designed to address these critical aspects.
The OIDPM is an introductory assessment that evaluates digital health products against over 100 review points, ensuring compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. This rapid, independent, and objective assessment provides digital health innovators with a clear understanding of their product’s compliance status. Successful assessment will grant innovators an approved badge and a badge of excellence that opens doors to inclusion in the ORCHA Alpha MD compliance portal.
Key benefits of the ORCHA Alpha MD Partnership:
- Comprehensive digital health assessment: The OIDPM sets the stage for a series of groundbreaking products aimed at transforming the digital health landscape in India.
- Rapid, objective and independent evaluation: Digital health technologies undergo a thorough assessment within 20 days, providing innovators with timely insights into their product’s compliance with data protection regulations.
- Global Industry Standards Compliance: The OIDPM not only aligns with Indian regulations but draws on the Data Privacy section of the ORCHA Baseline Review which covers over 350 review points used within 70% of global industry standards, giving innovators a broader perspective on their product’s performance globally.
- Recognition of Excellence: Successful assessment grants innovators an approved badge, a symbol of high quality and compliance that facilitates trust among health and care professionals.
- Market Growth Opportunities: Inclusion in compliance portals will open doors to market growth opportunities, allowing DPDPA compliant digital health products to be seamlessly integrated into healthcare systems across India.
