Digitising Andhra Pradesh's 108 & 104 Emergency Medical Fleet — Rugged Terminals and Aadhaar Biometric Attendance

Over 2,200 BlueJay devices power the field operations of Andhra Pradesh's 108 emergency ambulance and 104 Mobile Medical Unit fleets — 496 ForgePad-MDT2 rugged mobile data terminals connecting ambulances to the Emergency Response Centre, and 1,704 VERIS 200 PRO Aadhaar biometric terminals delivering geo-tagged staff attendance across all 13 districts, including remote and tribal mandals.

Andhra Pradesh runs one of India's largest last-mile public-health outreach programmes: 108 emergency ambulances alongside a 656-strong fleet of 104 Mobile Medical Units delivering doorstep primary care across rural, tribal and hard-to-reach mandals. Running this at scale needs two things in the field. Every ambulance requires a rugged, IP65 military-grade mobile data terminal linking it in real time to the Emergency Response Centre (ERC) for dispatch and patient updates. And across both fleets, the presence of every field and supervisory staff member — Medical Officers, MLHPs, ANMs, ASHAs, EMTs, drivers and DEOs — must be verified through Aadhaar-enabled, geo-tagged biometric attendance, captured several times a day, often where mobile networks are weak or absent.

•     One IP65-compliant, military-grade mobile data terminal required in every 108 ambulance

•     Real-time two-way data link between each ambulance and the ERC for dispatch and incident updates

•     Aadhaar-enabled (AEBAS/FRS) biometric attendance with geo-tagging mandated for all field and supervisory staff

•     Attendance captured multiple times daily at dispersed rural and tribal locations

•     STQC-certified fingerprint capture required for government compliance

•     Reliable operation across diverse terrain with poor or no data network

•     Devices needed at scale — one terminal per ambulance and per MMU across 13 districts

BlueJay supplied two purpose-built, India-manufactured devices for the programme.

ForgePad-MDT2 — the in-ambulance mobile data terminal. A rugged 10.1" Android 14 tablet, IP65 and MIL-STD-810G certified, with a 700-NITS sunlight-readable display, MT6789 octa-core processor (8GB RAM / 128GB storage), 8,000mAh battery, and Wi-Fi 5, 4G LTE and triple-mode GNSS. Supplied with a vehicle mount for in-ambulance installation, it gives EMTs a durable, ERC-linked terminal for dispatch, patient vitals and incident capture on the move.

VERIS 200 PRO — the biometric attendance terminal. An Aadhaar-enabled biometric PoS/attendance device pairing an STQC-certified L1 optical fingerprint scanner (V600) with multi-constellation GNSS (GPS + GLONASS + Galileo + BeiDou) for accurate geo-tagging, full 4G / Wi-Fi / BT 5.0 / NFC connectivity, an 8,300mAh battery for full-day field use, and Android 13. It enables compliant, geo-tagged biometric attendance across both fleets. Both products are BIS and WPC certified.

•     496 ForgePad-MDT2 rugged terminals deployed across the 108 ambulance fleet

•     1,704 VERIS 200 PRO biometric terminals deployed across the 108 and 104 fleets (approx. 768 with 108 ambulances, 936 with 104 MMUs, per the programme allocation)

•     Every ambulance equipped with a rugged, ERC-linked terminal for dispatch, incident capture and patient hand-off

•     Daily geo-tagged biometric attendance enabled for field and supervisory staff statewide

•     STQC L1, Aadhaar, IP65 and MIL-STD-810G requirements met for government deployment

•     Field-ready hardware suited to remote and tribal conditions with high-capacity batteries and rugged, sunlight-readable design
