Healthcare systems around the world are undergoing a fundamental transformation. As demand for care increases and health challenges become more complex, organisations are looking for new ways to connect information, improve collaboration and support better outcomes for both patients and healthcare professionals.

At the centre of this transformation is the ability to use health data effectively. Secure, interoperable digital infrastructure has become essential for creating connected healthcare ecosystems where information can flow safely between providers, enabling more coordinated, efficient and personalised care.

TELUS Health is helping to advance this future by combining digital health technology, data infrastructure and workforce wellbeing solutions to support individuals, healthcare organisations and governments worldwide.

At GIANT Health 2026, TELUS Health will join healthcare leaders and innovators to discuss how technology, data and collaboration can help reshape the future of healthcare delivery.

Building Connected Healthcare Systems Through Data

Modern healthcare relies on access to accurate and timely information. However, fragmented systems and disconnected platforms can create barriers to effective care coordination, making it more difficult for healthcare professionals to access the information they need.

TELUS Health works to address these challenges by developing interoperable digital technologies that connect key parts of the healthcare ecosystem.

Its solutions bring together areas such as electronic medical records, pharmacy management platforms and virtual care services, helping health information move securely between different parts of the healthcare system.

By improving connectivity between patients, providers and organisations, digital infrastructure can support more informed decision-making, reduce inefficiencies and enable healthcare teams to deliver more coordinated care.

Supporting Healthcare Beyond Clinical Care

The future of healthcare is not only about treating illness—it is also about supporting prevention, wellbeing and long-term health.

TELUS Health provides organisations with integrated solutions designed to support the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of their workforces. By recognising that employee wellbeing is connected across multiple areas of life, these services aim to provide more comprehensive support for individuals and organisations.

As employers and healthcare systems face increasing pressures around workforce wellbeing, access to connected support services is becoming an increasingly important part of building healthier, more resilient communities.

The Role of AI and Data in the Future of Local Care

Artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies are creating new opportunities to improve how healthcare services are planned, delivered and experienced.

However, successful digital transformation requires more than technology alone. It requires collaboration between healthcare providers, policymakers, technology organisations and communities to ensure solutions address real-world needs.

At GIANT Health 2026, Matthew Chow, Chief Mental Health Officer at TELUS Health, will take part in the panel discussion:

“Neighbourhoods, Reinvented: AI, Data and the Future of Local Care”

Hosted by Tal Mahmud, the session will explore how artificial intelligence, health data and connected services could transform local care models and support more personalised, accessible healthcare within communities.

The discussion will examine how digital tools can help healthcare systems better understand population needs while creating new opportunities for prevention, early intervention and integrated care.

Scaling Healthcare Innovation Across Systems

Healthcare innovation often begins with promising ideas, but the challenge lies in scaling successful approaches across complex health systems.

At GIANT Health 2026, Dr. Adam Myers, Chief Health Officer at TELUS Health, will join the panel:

“Scaling Innovation Across Systems”

The discussion will bring together leaders from healthcare, government and clinical practice, including Manka Ramachandran, Deputy Director – Medicines Policy (Optimisation), NHS England, and Professor Shafi Ahmed, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon, Barts Health NHS Trust.

The panel will explore how healthcare organisations can move beyond individual innovations and create sustainable approaches that can be adopted across wider systems.

Topics will include the importance of collaboration, digital infrastructure, clinical leadership and creating the conditions needed for innovation to deliver meaningful impact at scale.

Creating a More Connected Future for Healthcare

As healthcare continues to evolve, the ability to connect systems, people and information will be essential to improving outcomes and creating more sustainable models of care.

TELUS Health demonstrates how digital infrastructure and workforce wellbeing solutions can work together to support a more connected healthcare ecosystem—one where technology enables better decisions, stronger collaboration and more personalised experiences for individuals.

Through its participation at GIANT Health 2026, TELUS Health will contribute to conversations around the future of digital healthcare, AI, health data and system-wide transformation.
