DPDP compliance for healthtech
Health data is about as sensitive as personal data gets, and healthtech often touches children's data too. The DPDP Act expects strong safeguards and, for children, verifiable parental consent. We help you meet that bar while keeping care seamless.
The risks
What the DPDP Act means for your data
Sensitive health records
Diagnoses, prescriptions, lab results, and care histories that demand the strongest protection.
Children's data
Pediatric and family services trigger verifiable parental consent and a ban on harmful tracking or profiling.
Many data touchpoints
Patients, clinicians, labs, pharmacies, and insurers all moving data between them.
Research & analytics
Secondary use of health data for research and product analytics needs careful lawful basis and minimization.
Children's data: a higher bar
For users under 18, the DPDP Act requires verifiable consent from a parent or lawful guardian and prohibits tracking, behavioural monitoring, and targeted advertising directed at children. We design age-assurance and parental-consent flows that meet the requirement without locking families out of care.
What we implement for healthtech
Sensitive-data safeguards
Encryption, strict role-based access, and detailed audit trails around every health record.
Parental consent flows
Age assurance and verifiable parental consent built into onboarding for minors.
Purpose-bound processing
Clear separation of care, research, and analytics so each rests on the right basis with minimal data.
Rights across the care chain
Access and erasure that work across clinicians, labs, and partners.
In practice
Example: a telehealth platform
A telemedicine service introduced verifiable parental consent for minors, locked down record access by role, and separated research data from care data — making sensitive processing defensible end to end.
Illustrative example. Real engagements are scoped to your business.
