Use of My Kanta in Finland 2010-2022

In Finland, descriptive performance indicators point towards increasing and sustained use of the national Kanta Services among adults from May 2010 to December 2022. Adult users have accessed the web-based My Kanta, sent electronic prescription renewal requests to healthcare organizations, and caregivers and parents have acted on behalf of their children. Furthermore, adult users have recorded consents, consent restrictions, organ donation testaments and living wills. In this register study, 11% of the young person cohorts (<18-year-olds) and over 90% of the working age cohorts had used the My Kanta portal in 2021, whereas 74% of the 66-75-year-olds and 44% of the at least 76-year-olds.
