📋 Tender Overview
The MyKanta application, which can be downloaded to your phone, speeds up the use of the service and makes it easier to take care of health issues. The goal is to release the app in spring 2025. The application is developed in cooperation with actors in the social and health care sector.
In My Kanta, everyone can see their own health data on public and private services. My Kanta pages show, for example, prescriptions, laboratory results and doctor's appointment records. In stages, information on social services will also be visible as the implementations in the wellbeing services counties progress.
Kela is now developing the My Kanta mobile application, which makes it easier to view your own data and take care of your affairs. The decision to implement the application has been made by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.
The app will be released in 2025. The aim is to have the first version available to customers in spring 2025. At the moment, MyKanta can be used with a web browser.
Prescription renewal notifications and other new features
In the MyKanta application, the user can be sent a notification on their phone, for example, about an expiring prescription or the arrival of laboratory results. Logging in to My Kanta Pages can be accelerated in the application with fingerprint or face recognition.
"The notifications sent by the application and quick identification make it easier especially for those who use health services a lot," says Mira Liski, Development Manager of the Kanta Services.
The need for the MyKanta mobile application has been identified in customer surveys, data and feedback. A large number of people manage their errands on the phone and wish for smoother mobile services. Similar national mobile applications are already in use in the other Nordic countries.
My Kanta Pages can also store well-being data that the customer collects and records about their own health, and in the future, healthcare professionals can use these entries to support treatment.
MyKanta is part of digital services in healthcare and social welfare
MyKanta and its mobile application are being developed as part of the digital services for the health and social services sector. The work involves the private health and social services sector and the wellbeing services counties, which offer residents their own digital services. In the future, My Kanta and its mobile application can be used to guide smoothly to regional e-services.
"It is important to design digital services as a seamless whole, where national, regional and private services really complement. When used correctly, national solutions are cost-effective and ensure equal use of digital services throughout Finland," says Timo Ukkola, Senior Specialist at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.
The MyKanta application is being developed with EU funding as part of Finland's sustainable growth programme.
