The Ukrainian Health Ministry has started developing technical solutions to implement a depersonalized review process for daily functioning assessments, according to Deputy Health Minister Maria Karchevych. The initiative aims to increase efficiency and reduce the exposure of personal data during the evaluation of disability claims. This process will likely involve the use of advanced data analysis and automation to ensure fair and accurate assessments without compromising individual privacy.
Depersonalizing the assessments means that the data will be processed in a way that does not reveal personal identifiers, making it more secure and less vulnerable to misuse. The Health Ministry’s approach is part of broader efforts to modernize Ukraine’s healthcare infrastructure, which has faced significant challenges due to ongoing conflict and resource limitations. By adopting digital solutions, the ministry hopes to reduce administrative burdens and improve the overall management of disability benefits.
The announcement was made during a press briefing, where Karchevych emphasized the importance of balancing efficiency with the protection of citizens’ rights. She indicated that the new system will be tested in pilot programs before being rolled out nationwide. The initiative reflects Ukraine’s commitment to enhancing its public services through technological innovation, even in the face of ongoing geopolitical challenges.
