The Social Insurance Institution of Finland KELA cares Finlands social security and basic welfare to persons who have right for it. KELA working in offices and there is OmaKela in internenet. I have use KELA´s services long time. I got my first KELA card when I born. Today I get pharmaceutical benefit from KELA. I pay to KELA student health care fee even I do not use YTHS. I have occupational health care to use. I think that every one wouldn´t pay student healt care free if there is not need for service. Today I use Kela card to inentity myself at pharmacy and health center. I have got long time European Health incurance card. The post office brings every two years new card. I keep card with me when I traver in Europe. Luckily I have not needed it yet.
I can use OmaKanta service with strong authentication. I use service quite often. I view my health information, laboratory results, presciptions, medical history, vaccination records and renew presciptions. At work as nurse I use OmaKanta servise. Many of my elderly patients are not able to use OmaKanta servise by self.
I view KEVA service now and then. My minimun retirement age is 65 years and 8 months. My target retirement age is 67 years and 2 months. If I amn working until my age is 67 years and 2 months I get 212.86 euros more pension than I working until I am 65 years and 8 months. Those are estimates, not confirmed. I think that both ages are too high. Work at healtcare is quite demanding, even though nice. I think that working at healtcare sector gives quite low pension especially if have day job.
I visit at digital shop Booking.com. I think that service is reliable. I have used Booking.com now and then when I go holiday to abroad. Always all has been fine wiht Booking.com.You can get offers from Booking.com if you are menber. Now I noted that part of hotels are cheaper on Hotels.com and. Trivago. It pays to compare at digital shops.
I am nurse and working at homecare. I use often public site Terveyskylä (www.terveyskylä.fi). You can use Terveyskylä log in or not log in. The site is clear and it is evidence based. Terveyskylä gives knowledge and support for patients and tool for professionals. For exsample at Terveyskylä site you can print out instructions to patient for diabetes care.
Digitalization is near everywhere for those who are able to use it. But there are lot of people outside of that development. This kind of people are usually elderly and people who have low digital literaty. If you can not use digital services your life can be more difficult. Many services are hard to reach for examble healthcare and banking services.
I read many feflections by other students from the bookmark list. It was very interesting to read international students experiences for our Finnish services. Also from their bookmarks I got information how digitalisation works in the word.

I took the Digital Competence Test. My results are:
Information 67%
Communication 56%
Production 56%
Safety 69%
I think that each part shoud be better.
I have learned that digitalisation is already with many our services. We have to own skills to use them. Fortunately we can develop ourselves. I find new digital servises when I done this work, for examble digital Fimlab service.
