MinSP (My Health Platform) is the digital patient app for citizens in the Capital Region of Denmark and Region Zealand – the coming Region of Eastern Denmark. Via the app, citizens can see their own medical records, access relatives’ medical records, and follow their treatment.
The number of users has now reached one and a half million, which is more than one in two citizens in the coming Region of Eastern Denmark. It is also possible, among other things, to book tests directly in the app, and MinSP is also used for digital home hospitalisation of patients under the auspices of Holbæk Hospital and North Zealand Hospital.
Regional Council Chairman Lars Gaardhøj (Social Democratic Party) views the expansion of MinSP over the years very positively, with new options for patients, as well as how many people are now using the app – in all age groups.
“We can only create value with digital solutions if the citizens are on board. Therefore, I’m delighted that we have gained so many users. It provides an excellent foundation for the Region of Eastern Denmark and the work of providing better and equal access to healthcare. Most recently, we have seen how MinSP is being used by patients who are admitted to their homes. Here it is a huge advantage when, as a patient, you can use an app you already know,” says Lars Gaardhøj.
Casper Schwartz is one of the many users of MinSP and also sits on a user panel that continuously provides input and suggestions to improve the app:
“In all sorts of other areas, my everyday life is digital, so for me it makes good sense that one is also digital in contact with the healthcare service. For me, it is very much about having an overview of my appointments and easy communication with departments, but it is also important to be able to book blood tests quickly and simply. I don’t, of course, know if that is the case for everyone, but the app gives me control over my appointments with the healthcare service and easy access to my medical record information and test results,” says Casper Schwartz.
It also makes good sense for the clinicians; Chief Physician at Steno Diabetes Center, Frederik Persson, experiences that his patients often arrive better prepared for their appointments. According to him, this has a positive effect on the entire treatment process:
“When patients can follow their progress from home, they arrive better prepared and with more specific questions, which makes the conversation in the clinic more focused. Digital access simply brings them closer to their own treatment, and we also receive far more questions. It matters for how we organise our work, and we will certainly talk more about that as we digitise the healthcare service,” says Frederik Persson.
More figures on My Health Platform
In My Health Platform, you can, among other things, also book appointments for blood tests and third-trimester scans. Since the option for direct bookings in the app was launched in 2024, citizens in the Capital Region have collectively booked over 1 million appointment times. Six out of 10 use the app at least a couple of times a month. Over 200,000 citizens also use the app to follow the treatment of one or more relatives.
