Union Health Minister JP Nadda Launches AIIMS DISHA: A Smart App to Guide You Through Hospitals
New Delhi, September 14: Union Health Minister JP Nadda has unveiled AIIMS DISHA, a cutting-edge AI and IoT-powered indoor navigation app designed to make hospital visits a breeze. This innovative tool aims to help patients, visitors, and staff navigate large hospital campuses like never before, using smart technology to cut down confusion and save time.
At its core, AIIMS DISHA relies on high-precision Bluetooth beacons placed around the hospital. These beacons send location signals straight to your smartphone, giving you pinpoint accuracy—even down to the room level. Paired with AI-driven routing algorithms and interactive digital maps, the app delivers real-time, turn-by-turn directions that feel just like using Google Maps indoors.
One standout feature is the app’s interactive 2D map, which overlays hospital floor plans with key points of interest. It also includes a clever routing engine that calculates the shortest or most accessible path based on your starting point, destination, and even mobility needs—like stairs or elevators. Plus, offline mode lets you download maps in advance, so you stay guided even without a strong internet connection.
Imagine arriving at a busy hospital like AIIMS and wasting precious minutes hunting for the right doctor’s cabin or getting lost between buildings. AIIMS DISHA tackles these everyday headaches head-on. It reduces delays that lead to missed appointments, eases overcrowding at reception desks where people beg for directions, and frees up staff to focus on patient care instead of playing tour guide.
The app shines with user-friendly features tailored for everyone. It offers wheelchair-accessible routes for those with mobility challenges, AI-powered indoor positioning via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacons, seamless offline navigation, and even heatmaps to show crowd flow and avoid busy spots.
For patients and visitors, this means less stress, quicker access to care, and a smoother experience overall. Hospitals benefit too—think improved efficiency, lighter loads on helpdesks, smarter crowd management, and more time for doctors and nurses to deliver top-notch treatment.
With AIIMS DISHA, navigating India’s premier medical hubs just got a whole lot easier. This launch marks a big step forward in using AI for healthcare navigation, promising to transform how we move through hospitals.
