Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Karnataka. Karnataka approved the phased rollout of SAMASTA, a mobile-based community digital health platform designed to digitise health records and replace manual paper-based record-keeping. SAMASTA is linked with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and is intended for use at Ayushman Arogya Kendras and Primary Health Centres by ASHA workers, Auxiliary Nurse Midwives and health inspectors. SAMASTA supports both online and offline data entry, enabling health workers to store records locally in areas with poor internet connectivity. The platform reduces the ASHA diary’s manual data elements from 485 to 134 digital data points and is expected to reduce field workers’ data-entry workload by about 75%. A SAMASTA pilot in Udupi district recorded 95% beneficiary registration, 85% completion of health check-ups and linkage of more than 400,000 Ayushman Bharat Health Account IDs. Karnataka sanctioned ₹10.04 crore for the Taluk Mental Health Programme, which will be expanded across 31 taluks in the Kalyana Karnataka region.
