From booking calls to WhatsApp reports — patient data flows everywhere.
A patient calls to book a blood test. You take their name and phone number. That is already patient data. Then they come in, fill a form, share their Aadhaar, get a report on WhatsApp, and pay by UPI. Every single step creates more data. If you run a clinic, lab, or diagnostic centre — this law applies to you. Today.
Think about one patient visit. They call you — data collected. They fill a form at your desk — more data. The doctor writes notes — more data. You send the report on WhatsApp — data shared. You send a bill — data stored. That is six or more data points from one patient. Under the new DPDPA law, you must protect all of it. You must also tell patients why you are collecting it. Small clinics and labs are not exempt.
