India’s health-tech sector is rapidly evolving, driven by the increasing demand for accessible and affordable healthcare services and technological advancements. The industry encompasses a wide range of digital health solutions, including telemedicine, wearables, IoT, e-pharmacy, digital health records, and AI-powered diagnostic tools. According to a report by Inc42 , the size of the health-tech market in India will reach USD 21 billion by 2025. The government has also initiated multiple policies to boost the sector’s growth and leverage existing public infrastructure meaningfully, including the National Digital Health Mission, which aims to implement “core and common digital building blocks required for healthcare and make them accessible as digital public goods to both the public and private ecosystem.”

India’s health-tech sector has the potential to transform the healthcare landscape, improve access to quality healthcare, and contribute to the country’s economic growth. Given the accelerated adoption of telemedicine services in India, the government has introduced telemedicine practice guidelines to regulate its adoption. In addition to the existing data protection and privacy framework, the government has attempted to streamline and standardise healthcare record management and health data processing. To this end, the government has introduced the Electronic Health Record Standards for India and proposed the Digital Information Security in Healthcare Act for regulating the collection, generation, access, storage, transmission, and use of digital data pertaining to health. Such evolving regulatory norms require businesses to ensure compliance to obviate legal challenges.
