[Mod]

TELUS announced the launch of TELUS Wireless Physician, a program that places powerful and up-to-date medical drug and diagnostic tools into the hands of health professionals on a wireless handheld device, enabling them to make informed medical decisions and to reduce the chance of errors.

TELUS Wireless Physician improves access to critical clinical information for Canadian physicians by bringing together key elements of diagnosis and prescription information in a convenient mobile medical technology package. Using powerful mobile devices such as the Palm Treo 650 or 700wx and the Motorola Q, all available from TELUS, doctors can access concise clinical information during patient encounters wherever they are. The all-in-one devices also provide phone, e-mail and Internet access capabilities.

TELUS Wireless Physician leverages Epocrates's application, the Epocrates Essentials guide to drugs, diseases and diagnostics. Currently, more than 500,000 healthcare professionals worldwide, including more than 20,000 in Canada actively use Epocrates' products. Clinicians can use the application to answer many medical questions, providing direction on the best drug to prescribe and offering diagnostic advice specific to the symptoms a patient is presenting.

TELUS provides a solution that consolidates their information and communications requirements into a single device. With Wireless Physician residing on a single handheld device, doctors can always have access to the most up-to-date medical information. Health professionals can also use TELUS' national wireless network to schedule
automatic updates to their databases daily, weekly, or monthly.
