MyKanta, which has been in use for more than 10 years, requires technological updates and will be updated to better meet the requirements for modern digital services. Feedback collected from service users plays an important role in updating MyKanta.
The key priorities for the new MyKanta are
- ease of use
- data discoverability
- clear and understandable language
- accessible visual design.
The new MyKanta will also work better with things like screen readers, which improve the service for visually impaired users.
The new and old versions of MyKanta will operate side-by-side during the transition phase
You can log in to the new MyKanta at kanta.fi. Once you have logged in to MyKanta, you can switch to the new version of the service directly from the front page. The new MyKanta contains most of the services’ most frequently used functions, such as
- prescriptions and their renewal
- entries by physicians and nurses
- laboratory referrals and results
- client data from social services
- possibility to act on behalf of a loved one
The new and old versions of MyKanta will continue to operate side by side during the transition phase. New functionalities will be gradually added to the new MyKanta service, and it will eventually replace the old version of MyKanta completely. The old MyKanta service will be phased out by spring 2027 at the latest.
