Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of your body? What about ways to stay healthy and feel your best as you age? What if we told you there's a way to tap into more information about your body to enhance not just how long you live but how well you live? Would you want to know more?
Introducing Precision Health services
Precision Health offers a revolutionary approach to unlock a deeper understanding of your health with access to more data through advanced preventive health packages. This service is available at our latest TELUS Health Care Centre in Calgary, Alberta and is the first of its kind in Canada. Precision Health provides a new level of health knowledge through a consolidated view of the body’s predispositions, current state and health potential. Armed with these insights, our objective is to empower people to use this information to proactively enhance their overall health and wellbeing.
Precision Health focuses solely on providing advanced preventive health insights from results and does not offer diagnostic or treatment services.
Welcome to a new era of prevention
Precision Health packages consist of state-of-the art technology and may include whole-body MRI imaging with Digital Twin—a 2D interactive representation of your physiology and composition, body composition analysis and bone densitometry through DEXA imaging, genetic testing, comprehensive lab screenings, Oura ring data tracking, VO2 Max to measure oxygen consumption, advanced physical and lifestyle assessments and more.
Results are reviewed alongside our nurse practitioner and customized action plans are created by our health coaches who will provide evidence-based guidance with regards to nutrition, exercise, training and lifestyle elements like sleep and stress. This guidance aims to pinpoint areas for improvement to help you achieve true health empowerment.
“Unlike conventional methods, Precision Health transcends mere observation by harnessing real-time data to deliver precise measurements and actionable results,” says Dr. Tracy Thomson, Medical Director of TELUS Health Care Centres. “Our approach transforms cutting-edge science into proactive strategies, ushering in a new era of personalized wellness, where every step is a deliberate stride toward improving health outcomes.”
We understand that what is "normal" varies from person-to-person, depending on each of the unique aspects of your health history and genetic makeup. Your customized results dashboard will show the ideal ranges for each data point, so you can see how you're doing compared to what's recommended for you.
Take control of your health
Data has proven invaluable in today's digital age, playing a pivotal role in enriching many aspects of our lives. By leveraging data, we gain valuable insights that enhance decision-making and help drive improved outcomes across numerous facets of life.
We are now able to benefit more than ever from the use of data in our health and wellbeing; with the development of innovative healthcare technologies and assessments, we are able to leverage a wealth of data to help provide precise and tailored individual insights that can empower us to enhance our health.
“We often hear the aspirational affirmation, ‘take care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live’. At TELUS Health, we believe in the power of health data to unlock innovative, holistic solutions that help ensure all aspects of your health and wellness are covered – and Precision Health does exactly that,” says Juggy Sihota, Senior Vice-President, Healthcare Excellence, TELUS Health. “With our world-class technology and innovative experts, you’ll receive a highly customized plan to help guide you towards achieving optimal health and longevity.”

The app is a secure hub where you begin your onboarding journey, chat with our team, check your health records and manage appointment details. Your results are then neatly presented to you in a user-friendly, interactive health report delivered through the app.
