e-Manas, the Karnataka Mental Health Management System, is a digital platform that integrates mental health services delivery across Karnataka. It is designed to support needs of patients and caregivers, healthcare professionals, medical establishments, and administrators. It is a patient-centric registry of health records  to enable continuity of care and support patient mobility. It also includes a registry of mental health professionals and hospitals/clinics. 
e-Manas facilitate compliance with Mental Healthcare Act 2017 and Rules, as well as emerging data protection requirements. It is designed to enable integration with other government services (ID, 104, 108 etc). This project is the first of its kind for mental health in India and is expected to facilitate scaling up to other states in the country. 
The solution is designed to enable the consent driven, granular, need based sharing of Basic Medical Records across all stake holders. It has been designed with the privacy of patients personal data and data security at the core. 
e-Mans has been built on the person centric, standards compliant EHR platform - EHR.Network from Healthelife. The use of shared clinical data models from openEHR and data coding using standard concept models ensure that the data on the platform is semantically interoperable with other standards compliant EHR systems.
