What is the "Digital Agency"? To the administrative service "Complete in 60 seconds with a smartphone" --Impress Watch

Digital Agency mission

The mission at the time of the establishment of the Digital Agency is as described above. In addition, "We will create a world-class future for Japan, aiming for a digital society that realizes the diverse happiness of each individual."

The following three items were the goals of the Digital Agency preparation stage.

The first "one-stop" is that you can perform the necessary procedures according to your life stage, such as birth, schooling, child-rearing, and long-term care, with just a smartphone. In addition, "We will receive push notifications at the right time so that we can remember to complete the procedure."

The second service tailored to each individual is to link scattered medical examination information, pre-existing illnesses, drug history, daily vital information, etc., so that health and medical services can be safely received. In addition, responding to real-time mobility needs by linking railway and bus operation status, car sharing availability, etc. is also mentioned as the goal of the Digital Agency.

If such a system is realized, it will not be necessary to go to the government office for various applications, procedures will be easier, and it is expected that transportation and health management will be convenient.

On the other hand, when realizing the above-mentioned efforts, the jurisdiction of each local government or ministry is divided, such as the local government for birth / school attendance, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for education, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for medical care / nursing care, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for transportation. Therefore, there are many cases where procedures in different places and methods are required. In our daily life, there are many situations where we don't know who to ask first, and when we finally arrive, we don't have any documents, we need a seal, and we write the same thing over and over again. Many people have faced the hassle of "needing".

From a citizen's point of view, it is a major goal of the Digital Agency to create a "mechanism" that can be handled seamlessly beyond the framework of such vertical division.
