HealthVault and TELUS (Canada)

TELUS and Microsoft have signed a multi-year agreement whereby Telus will license and host the HealthVault platform on their servers in Canada.

TELUS will call the service TELUS Health Space, which will have both English and French interfaces to serve the entire Canadian market.

Substantiation of HealthVault by TELUS will be done to meet Canada’s own rules and requirements for storage and sharing of personal health records.

The APIs that Microsoft has developed for their software and device partners will remain the same thereby allowing these partners to expand their presence/opportunities into a new market.
