housing
Young people leave Nový Jičín mainly because they have nowhere to live here for reasonable money. The town has one working model, the K Archivu apartment building with starter flats. I want it not to remain the only one.

social services
I've worked as a paramedic and I know that caring for a person doesn't end at the hospital door. I want the town to support services that come to people's homes, from home care and respite care to a mobile hospice. Specifically, I want to push for respite care in an outreach form too, so that a family caring for a loved one has somewhere to turn for help overnight or at the weekend.

IT and AI in city administration
I chair the city executive board's IT committee and I make my living from digital services, so I'm not satisfied with a website where you download a form and then still carry it to the filing office. I want the city's most common services to be doable online from start to finish, so that people can see the status of their application as clearly as a tracked parcel, and so that the office can respond even outside office hours. Artificial intelligence belongs in the town hall where it saves officials work, for example transcribing minutes, searching contracts or initially sorting citizens' suggestions. A human must always make the decisions.
A few words about me
My name is Dan Šmajstrla, I'm 27 and Nový Jičín is my home. I went to primary and secondary school here. I studied paramedic science at the University of Ostrava and healthcare management at Tomas Bata University in Zlín. I started out as a paramedic in an intensive care unit, where seconds decide and everything has to make sense. Today I connect healthcare and IT. I work on the digitalisation of healthcare, and my big project is developing a hospital information system. I also work as an assistant to MP Jakub Janda and run my own graphic design studio, ProXEY. I'm no newcomer to public life. I'm chair of the IT Committee of the Nový Jičín City Executive Board, vice-chair of the Healthy City committee and a member of the health committee of the Moravian-Silesian Region's executive board. My big passion is scouting. I've been leading a troop in Nový Jičín for seven years, preparing camps and acting as a first-aider. Scouting has taught me responsibility, precision, staying calm in crisis situations and a whole range of skills I use every day. I have three priorities. The first is a town hall in your pocket. I want digitalised services, a single citizen portal and forms everyone understands. Whatever can be done online should be done online. The second priority is housing for the new generation of Nový Jičín residents, specifically starter flats for young families and graduates. And the third topic is close to my profession: an emergency dental service in Nový Jičín that will relieve acute pain right where people live, without complicated travel across half the region.
