What Cad Care RISE is
Cad Care RISE is an Accident & Emergency Management System. Its purpose is narrow and it is stated plainly: to link an individual in an emergency to the parts of the health system that can help them — hospitals, blood banks and ambulances — and to do it fast enough to matter.
It is a Division of Cad Care Aid Foundation, the non-profit organisation working in association with Cad Care Inc USA, promoting preventive and community healthcare across India through the Ayushman Bharat Health Mission.
The system is in development. Public launch is expected in 2028. Air ambulance capability is targeted for 2030, extending emergency reach to places ground transport cannot serve in time.
Hospitals
Receiving facilities identified against the national Health Facility Registry, with live capability status — so a patient is routed to a hospital that can actually treat them on arrival.
Blood banks
Real-time blood product availability through BBIMS integration. In trauma care the compatible unit is frequently the binding constraint.
Ambulances
Ground ambulances as tracked resources with location, capacity and status. Air ambulances follow in 2030.
RISE is one division of the Foundation's work. The Foundation, its rural health and school health programmes and its community advocacy are at www.aid.cad.care.
How it is being built
Emergency care fails at the joins. The person who knows a patient is deteriorating cannot see which hospital has capacity. The clinician who needs blood cannot see which bank holds a compatible unit. The ambulance arrives without the patient's allergies, conditions or blood group.
RISE is built to close those joins, on three layers: a blockchain-enabled clinical record for the emergency encounter, an interoperable coordination platform beneath it, and — from 2030 — air capability for the cases ground transport cannot reach.
The emergency record
Blockchain-enabled Accident & Emergency Management — FHIR R4, ABHM and PM-JAY aligned. The clinical core of RISE: incident tracking, patient records, consent and resource allocation at the point of care.
The coordination layer
Nine systems and twenty-eight modules providing the data, communication, resource and accountability infrastructure — and the capacity to scale from one incident to a population-wide emergency.
Air ambulance
Targeted for 2030. Aircraft as tracked resources, air evacuation as a request type, and demand forecast before the call comes. Not yet built.
Five pain points, addressed directly
| Pain point in disaster aid management | What the platform does |
|---|---|
| Lack of coordination and communication. Disparate systems and communication breakdown between government agencies, NGOs and emergency responders. | A unified communication platform supporting real-time sharing, task assignment and coordination — including air ambulance services. |
| Limited resources and allocation. Supplies, personnel and transport overwhelmed, with poor visibility and inadequate logistics planning. | A centralised resource management system with real-time visibility, need-based allocation and streamlined logistics. |
| Timely and accurate information. Gathering and sharing real-time data is difficult in chaotic conditions, delaying decisions. | Advanced data analytics across sensor networks, social channels and satellite imagery, identifying emerging need and enabling proactive decisions. |
| Logistics and infrastructure damage. Damaged roads and airports limit access to affected areas. | Infrastructure and logistics planning: alternative routes, temporary landing zones, and pre-identified facilities for critical cases. |
| Safety and security risks. Unstable structures, hazardous materials and volatile environments threaten responders. | Comprehensive safety and security protocols for operations in disaster zones, with specialised training and clear safety channels. |
Built to be answerable
Donors and the public increasingly expect to see where funds and resources actually went. Platform activity is recorded in a form that can be audited afterwards, with blockchain verification anchoring the records where tamper-evidence matters most — custody, allocation, consent and receipt.
Personal data never goes on the ledger. The ledger proves a record has not been altered; it is not a copy of the record.
Built to India's health AI stack
Three national frameworks now govern health AI in India. ABDM provides interoperability, consent and health records. SAHI, launched in February 2026, sets AI governance, ethics and safety. BODH provides benchmarking and validation against real anonymised Indian health data.
RISE is built to all three, and states its position honestly: compliance posture, not compliance achievement. Every claim carries its status — achieved or committed — in a published conformance register.
Interoperability, consent, records
ABHA identity, HFR and HPR registries, consent-based exchange and FHIR R4 to NRCeS profiles.
AI governance, ethics, safety
Five pillars, seven governing principles, risk-proportionate classification and human-in-the-loop enforced in the orchestrator.
Benchmarking and validation
Privacy-preserving evaluation of every AI component before it influences a clinical or dispatch decision.
Where the programme stands
The programme is in its integration, compliance and proof-of-concept stage. Public launch is expected in 2028; air ambulance capability is targeted for 2030. No part of this roadmap should be read as describing a live service.
Research and DevelopmentDevelopment stage
Market research to establish user needs and industry trends; development begins on core platform infrastructure and the first product set, with preliminary design work for the emergency linkage model.
Prototype and SpecificationDevelopment stage
Specification of the Accident & Emergency Management System, the BAEMS joint venture proposal, and the first working prototypes for internal testing.
Build and Partnership DevelopmentDevelopment stage
Platform build continues; partnership development with hospitals, blood banks and ambulance operators; FHIR R4 and ABDM integration work begins.
Integration, Compliance and Proof of ConceptCurrent
The current stage. Integration with ABDM building blocks and partner systems; alignment to the SAHI and BODH frameworks published in February 2026; proof of concept prepared for a defined pilot site.
Pilot and ValidationPlanned
Controlled pilot operation at defined sites. BODH benchmarking of every AI component. ABDM milestone certification pursued. Findings fed back into the build ahead of launch.
Public LaunchPlanned
Expected public launch of Cad Care RISE. Individuals linked to hospitals, blood banks and ground ambulances in emergencies, at operational scale.
Scale and ExpansionPlanned
Geographic expansion, additional partner facilities, and the beginning of air ambulance capability development.
Air Ambulance CapabilityPlanned
Air ambulance capability targeted for 2030. Aircraft brought into the resource model as tracked assets, with dispatch, crew communication and demand forecasting.
Who this is built for
Governments, NGOs, international organisations, impact investors and air ambulance operators. If you coordinate emergency response, there is a conversation worth having.
