At TELUS Health Solutions, we believe the innovative use of technology can improve the
healthcare experience for health providers and patients alike. Technology has an important
role in helping to reduce costs, stem the prevalence of chronic diseases, and empower
consumers to take a greater role in the management of their health. From internet access
and wireless devices, new technologies are improving the way health information can be used
and shared across the healthcare system to help achieve these critical outcomes.
Now, TELUS Health Solutions offers a suite of Consumer Health applications that leverage
this readily available technology. More than just education and information, this next
generation of services will allow individuals to become more involved in the management
of their health, giving them anytime, anywhere access to health information. These tools
also foster greater collaboration and communication among the healthcare team, including
physicians, nurses and other care providers.
