App store review
Akira by TELUS Health brings quality healthcare to you anywhere, anytime, in the comfort of your office or home.
Connect by text as soon as you need
Asynchronous text means consults happen when it is convenient for users. Texting also lowers the barrier to initiating difficult conversations around mental health.
Secure video and web portal
Secure video and real-time image transfer take place directly within the app. Akira’s patient experience is also available on a web portal, so members can choose the option they’re most comfortable with.
Anytime access to medical notes
Medical notes and chats from consults are saved on the app, so members can always refer back to them, helping to ensure continuity of care and treatment plan adherence.
