Health portal
The Health Portal serves as a personalized gateway for Estonian citizens to access essential health services. Launched in early 2023, this innovative platform has quickly replaced the old system, ensuring that every user can access their health and medical information easily and efficiently. While the previous patient portal saw only minor updates over the years, the Health Portal stands out with continuous development, driven by government priorities and user feedback.
Built with accessibility in mind, the portal meets 99.9% of relevant requirements for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, simplified wording is used throughout, making medical texts more understandable. While medical documents still contain necessary medical terms, the dashboard and subpages prioritize linguistic clarity for a broader audience.
The portal empowers individuals to take control of their health journey—whether checking health data, booking medical appointments, or accessing vaccination records—right from their computer or smartphone. Some of the available features include:
Booking appointments and managing referrals
Reviewing medical documents
Checking dental health and vaccination data effortlessly
Logging in securely with an ID card, Smart ID, or Mobile ID
Staying informed with up-to-date sick notes and health certificates
Appointing proxies, making declarations of intent, and tracking who has accessed your health information
Recognized for its exceptional UX/UI design with the Golden Egg award in 2024, the Health Portal continues to evolve, providing users with a range of services to meet their health management needs. The focus remains on integrating health information into everyday life, enhancing the overall experience for all Estonians.
