Aarogya Setu 2.0 Launched: Access Multiple Health Services in a Single App—Find Out How the New App Will Benefit You..

The Central Government has launched Aarogya Setu 2.0. Created to assist people during the COVID-19 pandemic, this app has now been revamped with a completely new look and functionality. With Aarogya Setu 2.0, you can access various essential health services—such as medical reports, medication details, fitness records, health insurance information, and hospital or ambulance services—all in one place. Let’s explore how the new app works and the features it offers:

What is Aarogya Setu 2.0?
Aarogya Setu 2.0 is designed to serve as a digital health record for you and your family. Simply put, your medical reports, test results, treatment details, and other vital health information will be securely stored in one location. You can easily view this information whenever needed and share it with your doctor.

Features Offered
Digitized Medical Reports

If you have test reports in PDF, image, or any other digital format, you can upload them directly to the app. The app compiles these reports to create a comprehensive personal health record. This eliminates the hassle of searching for past medical history and makes it easier for doctors to provide treatment.

Monitoring Fitness and Health

The app goes beyond just storing medical records; it also allows you to track daily health activities, such as your step count. Additionally, you can monitor key health metrics like calorie intake, heart rate, and blood sugar levels. If you use a smartwatch or fitness band, you can link that data to the app as well. You can also set personal health goals and configure reminders.

Medication Reminders

People often forget to take their medication on time. Aarogya Setu 2.0 includes a medication reminder feature. You can input details—either based on a doctor's prescription or your own schedule—such as the medicine name, timing, dosage, and frequency of intake. The app will then remind you to take your medication at the scheduled time.

**Easily find hospitals, doctors, and ambulances**
If you need a hospital, clinic, doctor, or diagnostic center, the app makes it easy to locate nearby facilities. Additionally, the app offers:

Information on ambulances when needed.
Real-time blood availability status via e-RaktKosh.
Easy search for hospitals empanelled under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY).
**PM-JAY Wallet: Centralized health insurance information**
You can also view details regarding PM-JAY and your private health insurance within the app.

It allows you to check:

Your total insurance coverage.
The amount spent so far.
Your remaining balance.
This eliminates the need to repeatedly check various websites or documents.

**Manage the entire family's records in one account**
Aarogya Setu 2.0 includes a 'Family Management' feature, allowing you to link the profiles of your parents, spouse, and children to a single account. This removes the need for separate logins for each family member and enables centralized management of the entire family's health information.

**My Consent: No data access without your permission**
The government states that your health information will only be shared with your explicit consent. If a hospital, doctor, or other entity wishes to view your health records, they must first obtain your approval. You can track who has been granted access, whose requests are pending, and whose permissions have expired directly within the app. Essentially, you retain full control over your health data.

If you wish to manage medical reports, medication records, fitness data, health insurance details, and hospital information in a single app rather than across multiple locations, Aarogya Setu 2.0 could prove to be highly useful for you.
