Telus Health and Babylon launched a new smartphone app that gives Canadians access to doctors and healthcare information. The app improves communication with doctors.
British Columbians can get video consultation with their doctors directly in a private session. BC provincial MSP will cover the cost of the video consultations. Patients can also access doctor consultation notes, video consults and also share them; manage prescription pickups; and get referrals for diagnostic tests or specialists when needed.
Canadians can download the Babylon by Telus Health App on iTunes or Google Play. The app uses the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered Symptom Checker.
“TELUS Health is leveraging the power of technology to improve health outcomes for all Canadians because we believe that by giving people the right tools, information and support we can empower them to manage their own health leading to healthier, happier lives,” said Juggy Sihota, vice president, TELUS Health.
Plans are also underway to integrate Babylon’s virtual care platform into TELUS Health electronic medical records systems (EMRs) to enable physicians across the country to also easily conduct virtual sessions with their own patients.
