Also check your device settings to ensure Lunna notifications are allowed.
You will receive notifications from Lunna when something new happens in your matter.

Notifications about scheduled chat invitations and cancellations and confirmations of appointments booked or cancelled via Lunna are sent by email.

Using Lunna
Lunna is available to all residents of the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County. We also serve part‑time residents and visitors. You can also handle matters in Lunna on behalf of a loved one living in Western Uusimaa, even if you live elsewhere.
You can use the online service either by identifying yourself or anonymously. Anonymous use means you do not need strong identification such as online banking credentials or a mobile certificate. In anonymous mode, you can receive only general guidance. When you use the service for the first time — whether identified or anonymously — you must accept the data protection description and terms of use.
You can handle matters on behalf of another person in Lunna if:
- you are the guardian of a child under 18, or
- you have been granted Suomi.fi authorizations for both social welfare and health care matters.
To act on someone’s behalf, you must add the person to your Lunna profile.
See the instruction video on acting on behalf of someone in Lunna.
Adding a person to your profile (when rights or authorization exist)
You must add all persons for whom you want to act in Lunna. This also applies to minors.
In the mobile app
- Log in to the Lunna app.
- Select My information.
- Select Act on behalf of someone.
- Select Add person.
- Select Go to the Suomi.fi service to choose the individuals you want to add.
- Confirm your selections with Select and continue to the service to return to Lunna.
The selected person now appears on your list, and you can act on their behalf. Before starting a conversation, choose for whom you are acting.
In the browser
- Go to lunna.fi(external link) and identify yourself.
- Select Profile.
- Navigate to Act on behalf of someone.
- Select Add person.
- Select Go to the Suomi.fi service to choose individuals.
- Confirm your selections and return to Lunna.
If rights or authorizations are missing
If a person does not appear in Suomi.fi(external link), you do not have the required right or authorization.
In Suomi.fi, you can grant or request the following authorizations required for Lunna:
- Managing matters related social welfare services
- Managing matters related to healthcare
Acting on behalf of someone who has their own Lunna profile
A person may have their own active Lunna profile — for example, a child over 15 with their own banking credentials.
If you have the right or authorization, you can still act on their behalf.
Chats and service events in Lunna are visible only to the person who started them. You cannot view or change another person’s profile information or settings.
Acting for a child who has not yet been named
A newborn without a registered name cannot be added to the profile. The child can be added once the name is registered in the population information system.
You can still act on behalf of the child with your own profile. Inform the professional that you are acting for an unnamed child.
When is it not possible to act on behalf of someone?
In Lunna, a guardian can act on behalf of a child if they have the right to do so based on guardianship or Suomi.fi authorisations and none of the restrictions below apply.
Acting on behalf of a child in Lunna is not possible if:
- the child has been taken into care
- there is a custody decision or agreement that restricts the handling of social and healthcare matters
- either guardian or the child has a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons
- the child has been assessed as mature enough to make decisions about their own information, in which case not all information may be disclosed to the guardian.
The impact of non-disclosure for personal safety reasons on acting on behalf of a child
It is not possible to act directly on behalf of a child in Lunna if the child has a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons. However, the guardians may apply for the right to act on behalf of the child by submitting an authorisation application to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV). When the application is processed, the reason for the non-disclosure is assessed, and the authorisation may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
If all of the child's guardians have a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons, the guardians may jointly authorise one or both guardians to act on behalf of the child.
If only one guardian has a non-disclosure for personal safety reasons, that guardian can automatically act on behalf of the child. If they wish, the guardians may also authorise the other guardian to act on behalf of the child.
See the instructions on how guardians can grant mandates to handle a child's matters.(external link)

Lunna is the digital services platform of the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County.
Alongside Lunna, national and specialized electronic services are used: OmaKanta and Maisa.
MyKanta is a national service where you can find all health information and prescriptions recorded by health care providers in Finland.

In Lunna, you can participate in a video meeting either with a booked time or through referral from the chat.
A video appointment corresponds to a standard reception visit and is intended for personal use. Some video appointments may be subject to a fee, and you will always be informed of any charges beforehand.
A professional will send you a message in Lunna no later than the start of your scheduled appointment and ask you to start the video connection.
When the message arrives, open it in Lunna under Open discussions and accept the invitation to the video appointment.

The services available in Lunna depend on your municipality of residence.
If you live outside the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County, you will not see all services because the service selection is based on your home municipality.
Acting on behalf of someone else does not change the service selection — even if you act for a loved one living in Western Uusimaa, you will still not see all services. You can still contact most services even if you live elsewhere.
We can also guide you forward in Lunna when needed.
