About the Client

Digital India Corporation (DIC), a government entity under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), spearheads e-Governance initiatives across India. DIC develops digital solutions addressing social challenges, including rural healthcare. As part of its mission, DIC launched Poshan Tracker, a mobile and web-based application that enables Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) to monitor the nutritional and health data of mothers and children in rural areas.

Business Situation

  • Limited scalability prevented nationwide deployment, restricting access to thousands of Anganwadi Centers.
  • Frequent login errors disrupted the workflow of Anganwadi workers, reducing data accuracy.
  • No seamless system for migrating beneficiary data between centers, leading to redundancies.
  • Lack of grievance redressal and state-level support for Anganwadi workers.
  • Reporting inefficiencies made it difficult for government officials to analyze healthcare impact.
  • Existing infrastructure was costly, inefficient, and prone to frequent system downtime.

The Solution

Unthinkable conducted a deep analysis of the existing Poshan Tracker application and implemented a technology-driven approach to optimize and scale the platform for nationwide use.

  • Migrated the application infrastructure to AWS cloud for enhanced performance and scalability.
  • Developed a seamless login experience to eliminate errors faced by Anganwadi workers.
  • Enabled secure and efficient beneficiary data migration across Anganwadi centers.
  • Integrated a grievance redressal system for beneficiaries and healthcare workers.
  • Enhanced analytics and reporting with visual dashboards for real-time insights.
  • Digitized inventory tracking to streamline resource allocation and minimize stock shortages.

The Impact

The modernized Poshan Tracker successfully expanded to 1.3 million Anganwadi Centers, supporting over 100 million beneficiaries. The upgraded cloud-based system ensured minimal downtime, making healthcare data accessible in real-time. Anganwadi workers could efficiently track the nutritional needs of women and children, ensuring targeted interventions. The introduction of a grievance redressal system improved service delivery, while the new reporting features provided government officials with actionable insights. The impact of these enhancements has been transformative, fostering healthier communities and improving the overall efficiency of India’s rural healthcare system.

Conclusion

Through its partnership with Unthinkable, Digital India Corporation successfully scaled Poshan Tracker into a robust, data-driven platform serving millions. The upgraded system not only improved service efficiency but also strengthened healthcare monitoring, ensuring equitable access to nutrition and maternal care. By integrating advanced analytics and cloud-based infrastructure, Unthinkable helped revolutionize India’s approach to digital healthcare, creating a long-term impact on maternal and child welfare. The success of this project highlights the power of technology in transforming public healthcare initiatives at a national scale.
