11 Mar 2026 CW Team

The event was organised with a range of ecosystem partners, including the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, the National Resource Centre for EHR Standards (NRCeS), the General Insurance Council (GIC), Google, the Insurance Information Bureau (IIB), the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH), the India Insurtech Association (IIA) and NATHealth. Organisers said the collaboration sought to bring regulators, industry and technology providers together to advance interoperable standards and scalable solutions. Technology demonstration stalls and partner showcases formed part of the programme.

The hackathon invited teams to develop solutions across build and ideathon tracks, with problem statements focused on converting legacy systems, structuring clinical documents using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources standards and generating insurance plan bundles from PDFs. The ideathon encouraged business use cases addressing misuse detection and optimisation of claims processing time and cost by leveraging ABDM registries and NHCX workflows. An independent jury evaluated submissions and selected the top three teams for each problem statement following technical assessment. A total of 112 submissions were received from health technology startups, insurers, hospitals, vendors, academic institutions and individual developers.

The innovation meet convened regulators, state representatives, industry leaders and academic partners to deliberate on standardisation, interoperability and adoption challenges. Senior officials and subject experts delivered addresses that emphasised the complexity of claims processing and positioned NHCX as a foundational platform intended to foster trust and seamless exchange across payers, providers and patients. Panel discussions examined technical enablers, artificial intelligence applications and hospital adoption barriers.
