The NHCX Hackathon was organised by the National Health Authority as part of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), a flagship initiative of the Government of India aimed at creating a comprehensive digital health ecosystem. The hackathon encouraged innovators to develop open-source solutions to streamline and standardise health insurance claims through the National Health Claims Exchange (NHCX). It focused on improving interoperability, converting legacy systems to FHIR standards, and structuring clinical data for efficient claims processing. ABDM also includes important digital components such as ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) and the Health Facility Registry, which together aim to enhance digital healthcare infrastructure, improve transparency, and ensure seamless access to health services across India.
