Answer 1

Answer:

C. To facilitate a wide range of digital health services through an open network protocol

The Unified Health Interface (UHI) is an open, interoperable network protocol built on the ABDM framework, analogous to UPI for payments. Its function is to connect patient-facing applications (EUAs) with health service providers (HSPAs) to enable seamless discovery, booking, and delivery of various digital health services, such as teleconsultations, appointment booking, and diagnostic services, across any participating platform.
