Infographic illustrating five steps in a patient’s journey through a digital health system: screen, refer, escalate, record, and reimburse, with a note stating existing components require integrated connections for efficiency. — The convergence pathway: a single patient's journey through a connected system, from screening by a community health worker on an app linked to the ayushman bharat health account, through physician review and specialist backup via tele MANAS, to a shared record and reimbursement through a public benefit package. The components already exist; convergence is the wiring between them.
