Tiivistelmä

Background: The Kanta archive is the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR) system of Finland. Today, the archived information is not easily accessible for end users. However, ideally health data could be utilised with the concept of a Citizen Digital Twin (CDT) to optimise society's service offering directly for the real needs of an individual. Medical risk calculators could be used in a CDT as metrics for monitoring health status and for guiding towards better choices.ObjectiveThe study investigates methods for improving the proactive care of people through CDTs with the data stored in Kanta with medical risk calculators. More specifically, the focus is on investigating if existing risk calculators can be evaluated with the data found in the Kanta archive.

Methods: A set of risk calculators that target diseases common in Finland was defined and the inputs they require were listed. To evaluate the inputs, the criteria was defined for the data format and its availability. The assessment is based on the Kanta specifications, joint testing results, and an assessment of the data by health information system experts.

Results: Two types of data were found to be completely missing from Kanta according to the analysed risk functions inputs. These were (i) data about living habits, habitation and physical activity, and (ii) family data like family medical history. By improving the availability of a few key input parameters we can calculate multiple different risk calculators.

Conclusion: Kanta services offer a wide EHR repository as a basis for the use of risk calculators. Further development of data in Kanta would enable concrete results in strengthening people’s well-being with CDTs. To achieve continuous risk value history, a person needs to have correct health recordings recorded to NEHR regularly as well as practical means to visualize the results.
