KELA
The services from KELA that I use and my family uses consists of child allowance and student health care called YTHS. As a university student , you are obligated to pay KELA health care fees every academic year, so you can use YTHS health care services. I used the dentist and dental hygienist service in the summer, because I got the service here faster than from public health care.
OmaKanta
I have visited earlier in OmaKanta so it was already familiar to get own health care data checked. It`s quite easy and safety to go these pages, because strong identification is required. Even thought I used my own laptop to log in to my account, I cleared the history data after visit.
KEVA
When checking the retirement age it was found out that pension at 63 years old was not possible. The earliest age for me was 65 years and eleven months. So, I have already decided to take care of my good health so I could increase my pension as well as possible. I still think about how to get to enjoy good retirement days on time.
Online shopping
I evaluated mobile phones on eBay to local shop prices and eBay offers much lower prices these products than local shops can do. There is no guarantees about the quality of those phones. Nowadays you dont know what kind of taxes you should pay if you order products from U.S.A. or UK. This website tells about the one year warranty, but you don’t know what it involves. Product delivery costs may increase unpredictably.
Service/application
I use the Zenicor view application in my daily work so that I can view symptom electrocardiogram samples taken by patients. ECG samples are stored in a secure cloud server. This application makes it possible to view real-time ECG and the patient can make a symptom note on the sample taken. This app is very easy to use, but sometimes there is problems to get those samples from the symptom ECG device, because it uses the mobile network to send the samples and the signal of mobile network is weak.
Digitalization and digital gap
Digital technology allows you to shop at home. You can order clothes, products, food and medicines and choose the most suitable delivery for you. You can also arrange a doctor´s or nurse´s appointment via digital service. Older people do not own smart devices and do not have knowledge how to use digital services. So they try to call to make an appointment and have to wait for a callback service. Their service process is slower and more complex compared to a digital service provider.
The flood of information increases anxiety, especially among young people, and we must learn to filter information and verify its origin.
My digital competence test
This test shows that I`m not very active user of digital application, but I know how to search services and products what I will need. More safety will be needed when using web sizes and paying orders.
Self-reflection
This task helped clarify the importance of identification and secure data processing. It is good to remember what kind of footprint is left when using digital services and how to make these paths invisible. Information collected by digital services can be limited for your own privacy. Digitalization enables real-time monitoring of what is happening in the world. Digital servers also make it easy to stay connected to friends or necessary instances. Strange contacts via digital services have increased and therefore we must be very critical with these. I want to learn more how to use digital services better and safety, because it is clearly the trend of the future in all fields.
