Abstract: Digital Public Distribution System (PDS)-Linked Oral Health is an innovative technology-driven solution designed to enhance public healthcare by integrating oral health monitoring with the existing Public Distribution System. This system enables beneficiaries to undergo basic oral health screening during routine ration collection, making preventive healthcare more accessible and inclusive. It allows the collection and analysis of oral health data such as dental condition, gum health, and hygiene status using mobile applications and imaging tools. The platform provides realtime assessments, automated alerts, health recommendations, and referral support for further medical attention when required. With features like digital record maintenance, awareness guidance, and data visualization, the system caters to both healthcare providers and beneficiaries. By combining digital health technologies with government welfare infrastructure, this solution improves early detection of oral diseases, reduces healthcare disparities, and promotes better hygiene practices. The primary goal is to empower economically disadvantaged communities with an affordable, efficient, and scalable approach to maintaining oral health and overall well-being.
