India launched the Co-WIN app in 2021 which gained great success in vaccinating the huge population against COVID-19. Motivated by its success, the Government of India has launched the U-WIN app to reach its goals in the immunisation of the country in regards to the UIP (Universal Immunisation Programme). This article will mainly be shedding light on the rationale behind its development, the functionality of the app, training appropriate personnel for its usage, integration with other health platforms, challenges faced previously by the Co-WIN app which could also be faced by the U-WIN app and finally the way forwards regarding the digitalisation of health care in India.
