Like most industries and spheres of life, healthcare too is undergoing digitization in India at many levels.

Thus, informed consent allows patients in a healthcare setting to participate in their own medical care.

Whether it is severe disorders of the abdominal parts such as stomach, pancreas and gall bladder,etc., requiring general surgery, or gynaecological conditions requiring specialized surgery, or endocrine disorders, or orthopaedic, ophthalmologic, or neurological conditions, each of these besides many others requires a specialized surgical intervention. In other words, a surgical procedure becomes an inevitability in the course of treatment for many diseases. Given the innate sensitivity of any surgical procedure, obtaining informed consent constitutes an integral part of the whole process. With India bearing a high disease burden and the accompanying need for high number of surgeries, the country has a mammoth requirement of modern informed consent solutions.
