Background
Background of ASHA Concept
The Government of India launched National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in 2005 to address the health needs of rural population, especially the vulnerable sections of society. The Sub Centre (SC) is the most peripheral level of contact with the community under the public health infrastructure. This caters to a population norm of 5000, but is effectively serving much larger population at the SC level.
Thus, provision for new band of community based functionaries, named as Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) was made to fill this void. ASHA is the first port of call for any health related demands of the rural population, especially women and children, who find it difficult to access health services.
ASHA is volunteer health activists in the communities, who is creating awareness on health and its social determinants and mobilize the community towards local health planning and increased utilization and accountability of the existing public health services. She is a promoter of good health practices.
ASHA will be entitled for Performance Based Incentives fixed by the NRHM State HQ for prefixed activities only. The performance based incentives required to be given on monthly basis to ASHA.
The role, responsibilities, profile and compensation package for ASHA is given below.

FLW App enhancements
About Sakhi App
Sakhi App is a digital job aid tool, specially designed for Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA). ASHAs usually use multiple registers for Household enumeration, family member registration, and health data collection. This leads to challenges of manual errors, loss of data, and data accuracy. In this context, Piramal Swasthya Management and Research Institute has designed and developed a mobile application for ASHA workers to digitalize and reduce the manual work.
It is designed to reduce manual labor, enhance efficiency, and ensure timely and accurate data collection by ASHAs.
All the services that are carried by ASHA in the field are available in the Sakhi Mobile App, including services for RMNCH+A (Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health), this application enhances service delivery and monitoring for Household Enumeration, Antenatal care, Postnatal care, Immunization services, as well as Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) screening and Tuberculosis (TB) screening.
Comprehensive Modules Overview of Sakhi App

Implement Beneficiary Consent process
Taking consent from beneficiary is very important to save their demographic details, clinical and health records in EHR.
Beneficiary consent is a process by which we take proper consent from beneficiary digitally, like
OTP-Based Consent: Real-time verification through OTP sent to the beneficiary's mobile number.
This process of taking consent from Beneficiary by verifying the OTP received on the Beneficiary's mobile number is applicable in entire platform service lines where Beneficiary registration takes place.
Beneficiary Consent using OTP approach
Now consent via OTP should be mandated for Head of the Family and Family Members registration. Once Household registration is completed, proceed with Head of the Family and Family Members registration with taking proper consent by verifying OTP sent on beneficiary's Mobile number via SMS.
After the "Date of Registration" field, provide a editable-text field with Pre-filled Mobile number of HOF for entering the mobile number to capture consent. Display a "Mobile Number Belongs To" dropdown with values, followed by a "Send OTP" button.
Refer to this Jira ticket: FLW-25 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Use cases:
Successfully OTP verified records, should sync to server and indicate with green colour symbol on beneficiary card as "consent is taken"
Beneficiary records that are not verified with OTP, should not sync to server, should save as draft and indicate with orange colour symbol on beneficiary card to notify "consent is due"
Existing Beneficiary records that are already synced to server, but OTP consent is not verified earlier, should indicate with yellow colour symbol on beneficiary card to notify "record is synced but consent is due"
Beneficiary records should be flag based on the status of consent
In Beneficiary line listing, should have a filter to sort the records based on the status of consent
This feature should be implemented in the existing screens/ form of Head of the Family and Family Members registration.
Data fields mentioned in this below table are new fields, should be added to the existing screens/ form for taking Beneficiary consent.
For receiving the OTP on the Beneficiary's mobile number, verifying OTP, etc an API and SMS gateway integration is required, for these details refer to this Jira ticket: AMM-778 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Feature: File Upload
This feature allows users to upload files in two key scenarios—MCP Card uploads during ANC visits and Birth Certificate uploads during child registration.
- MCP Card Uploads (ANC Module):
- Allows ASHA workers to upload the Mother and Child Protection (MCP) Card during any ANC visit.
- The system ensures that only the latest uploaded version is retained, replacing older versions.
- Users are provided with an upload button, and an indicator icon or text confirms successful uploads.
- Uploaded MCP cards can be viewed via a dedicated view button, and acceptable file types include JPG, PNG, and PDF.
- Positioning: The "Upload MCP Card" button must be positioned below the ANC Period field (refer to mockup for better understanding.)
- Birth Certificate Uploads (Child Registration Module):
- Enables uploading of the child's birth certificate during registration or in later edits.
- Both front and back sides of the certificate can be uploaded, and only the latest version is retained.
- The system includes an upload button and a view button for accessing the most recent certificate.
- Accepted file formats are JPG, PNG, and PDF, with a file size limit of 5 MB.
- Positioning: The "Upload Birth Certificate" button must be positioned below the Date of Birth field (refer to mockup for better understanding.)
- File Overwrite Logic:
- Both MCP Card and Birth Certificate uploads follow a single-file overwrite policy, ensuring only the most recent upload is displayed.
- This prevents clutter and avoids managing multiple files for the same document.
