Revitalizing health connectivity through AI

In a groundbreaking collaboration, TELUS Health and Clinia have revealed an exclusive strategic partnership, marking the dawn of a new era in healthcare navigation and personalized care journeys.

Leveraging Clinia’s AI-powered technology stack, TELUS Health aims to streamline provider registry networks management, facilitate seamless interconnectivity and drive improved cost sustainability for payors and providers, eliminating the problems associated with traditional provider registry networks. According to Martin Bélanger, Managing Director of Payor and Provider Solutions at TELUS Health, the focus is on providing "a more direct and personalized service that empowers individuals through better access to care and highly customized recommendations based on their personal health needs."

This innovative approach not only streamlines administrative tasks but also removes the obstacles tied to conventional provider registry networks. This empowerment allows payors to grant their members direct access to accredited care providers, seamlessly personalized according to individual benefits plans. As noted by Simon Bédard, CEO and co-founder of Clinia highlights, "Clinia's Health-grade Search stack will supercharge Canada's leading provider network, adjudication, and pharmacy solutions within the TELUS Health portfolio." The partnership goes beyond technology, with TELUS Ventures leading a $10M Series A financing round for Clinia which underscores a commitment to fostering innovation in healthcare.

Looking beyond immediate benefits, the partnership envisions untapped opportunities and value creation within Electronic Medical Records and Pharmacy Solutions, promising a transformative impact on global healthcare services.
