MONTREAL – Telus Health Solutions has launched a new health reference internet portal designed to help Canadians find the relevant information and tools to take better care of their health and the health of their loved ones.
Called myhealthreference.com, the new site promises current content, reviewed articles and specialized functions. It also includes access to:
– Web and mobile tools such as a symptom checker, self-assessment modules, healthy habits guides and smoking cessation programs;
– A search feature that "learns" from user trends and health news to deliver relevant, credible content to returning visitors;
– Reliable reference content and news from trusted Canadian sources covering a range of health topics; and
– Advice from physicians, pharmacists, naturopaths and nutritionists, as well as information to find specialized local resources.
"Technology has empowered us with convenient, fast access to health information. Yet much of the online information is unverified”, said Telus Health Solutions SVP Paul Lepage, in a statement. “myhealthreference.com will allow Canadians to quickly find credible, reliable and expert-reviewed health information for themselves and their families.”
