Digital healthcare apps like Kry and Min Doktor are increasingly popular among young women in Sweden, who often seek treatment for minor ailments such as anxiety and skin issues.

This trend, highlighted by Region Sörmland's data, raises concerns among healthcare professionals about the potential impact on elderly patients who rely on traditional healthcare centers.

Critics argue that the shared budget for digital and physical healthcare could lead to reduced resources for older patients with more serious health needs.

Despite these concerns, companies like Kry and Min Doktor claim that their services enhance efficiency, allowing more time for elderly care.

However, the shift towards digital consultations, especially with the replacement of nurses by AI tools, has sparked debate over the allocation of healthcare resources and the prioritization of patient needs.
