Five consent states
Every consent request in the ABDM ecosystem progresses through one of five lifecycle states:
- REQUESTED - A requesting entity has raised a consent request. Awaiting patient decision.
- GRANTED - Patient approved. Records are available for fetch. Consent artefacts generated per provider.
- DENIED - Patient rejected the request. No data exchange occurs.
- REVOKED - Patient revoked a previously granted consent. Access terminated.
- EXPIRED - Consent validity period has elapsed. Access automatically terminated.
Consent for ongoing care
ABDM consent is not an obstacle to clinical workflow. For ongoing care relationships, patients can establish standing permissions, maintaining control without creating friction at every visit.
