TELUS Corporation’s (TU - Free Report) subsidiary, TELUS Health, recently announced a partnership with Nova Scotia Health (“NSH”) to empower the residents of Nova Scotia (a Canadian province) to gain swift access to their initial care information on the YourHealthNS application.

The initiative is likely to be a major breakthrough in Canada in systemizing primary care data that aids Nova Scotians in effectively managing their health-related concerns and outcomes.

TELUS Health's integrated data platform plays a crucial part in this alliance by extracting vital patient summary data from the electronic medical records leveraged by most of Nova Scotia's clinicians. This integration enhances the efficacies of patient care of healthcare providers and simultaneously empowers individuals to take charge of their health.

The collaboration ensures smooth and secure access to patient's health information. This notion was showcased by a pilot project, conducted by YourHealthNS app. The project was launched in early 2024, where 68% of the 13,000 participants who accessed their health records reported their patient experience as either good or excellent.

As a leader in digital health data, TELUS Health is continuously working to safeguard privacy and advance the principles of reliable data practices across Canada and beyond. The collaboration between TELUS Health and Nova Scotia Health aligns with the government of Nova Scotia's mission to use healthcare data exclusively for the advancement of healthcare and drive digital healthcare innovation in the province.

Vancouver, British Columbia-based TELUS is one of the leading telecom carriers in Canada (the largest in western Canada), with over C$20 billion in annual revenues and more than 19 million customer connections. It provides wireless, wireline and Internet communications services for voice and data to businesses and consumers.

TELUS Health is a division of TELUS that empowers healthcare professionals, individuals, employers and governments to efficiently deliver customized healthcare facilities through cutting-edge digital health platforms, such as electronic medical records and virtual care solutions.
