At CAHOTECH, Dhairya will speak on reconciling India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act with the clinical, legal and operational realities of healthcare, and on what meaningful, practical patient consent looks like on the ground.

FAQ

Questions hospitals ask us

Does the DPDP Act apply to my hospital?

Yes. A hospital that processes patients' personal data in digital form, including paper records it digitises, is a Data Fiduciary under the Act.

When do the penalties apply?

The DPDP Rules were notified on 13 November 2025 with an 18-month transition. As notified, most duties, and the penalties for breaching them, apply from 13 May 2027.

We already take consent on paper. Is that enough?

Paper clinical consent covers the procedure. Where you rely on consent for data use, the Act also asks for an itemised notice, consent for each purpose, an easy way to withdraw, and proof of all of it. Certinal keeps your clinical forms and adds the rest.

Will it work with our HIS and other systems?

It can. Consent is collected through web forms, kiosks, apps and APIs, and Certinal connects to the systems that hold patient data. How it connects depends on your systems, so ask our team at the booth.

Which languages can patients read their notices in?

The Act asks for notices in English or any of the 22 languages in the Eighth Schedule, which include Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada. Tell us the languages your patients use and we will confirm which are covered.

How long does it take to go live?

The consent platform is typically deployed in around 7 days. Scope, the number of integrations and your internal approvals decide the rest.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on your hospital's size and the modules you need. Schedule a demo and we will walk you through it.

Is the readiness check legal advice?

No. It is a quick self-check against eight areas of DPDP readiness. Your action plan comes from Certinal's team; for legal advice, speak to your counsel.
