About My Path and digital pathways

My Path has digital care pathways and self-care programs. You need a referral to access the digital care pathways, but the self-care programs are available to anyone registered for My Path without a referral.

Digital care pathways that complement traditional health care allow patients to

• fill in treatment-related questionnaires

• get information, peer support and treatment advice in the form of text, images, videos and audio files

• do exercises and tasks related to treatment

• send follow-up information on symptoms and health measurements

• communicate with the professionals treating them via messages or remote consultations.

Digital service pathways complementing traditional social services allow clients to

• get information on social services

• do exercises

• fill in surveys

• send messages 24/7

• communicate with a social worker at an agreed time

• have a remote meeting with a social worker

• read the frequently asked questions.

The digital care pathway allows a professional to manage patients or clients through a patient list, send them messages and create calendar events.

Digital care pathways in health care and digital service pathways in social services either complement or replace traditional consultations and transactions. The content of the digital pathways published in the My Path service has been produced by health care and social welfare professionals. My Path is a medical device.
