Telstra Health has been named Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Asia-Pacific Company of the Year for healthcare enterprise interoperability platforms, recognising the company’s work in standards-based health information exchange and connected care.
The award recognises Telstra Health’s Corus iX interoperability platform, which is built on Smile Digital Health’s FHIR-native OmniVera HDP platform and underpins the company’s broader Corus connected care ecosystem.
Telstra Health received the award for its strategy and execution in delivering secure, standards-based interoperability technology designed to improve information sharing between healthcare providers, streamline clinical workflows and support digital health transformation.
Frost & Sullivan Director Sowmya Srinath said Telstra Health had differentiated itself in the Asia-Pacific interoperability market through its clinician-led development approach and use of FHIR standards.
“Its phased implementation approach, FHIR-native architecture, and commitment to secure, connected care enable healthcare organisations to modernise with confidence while building a strong foundation for future digital transformation,” Ms Srinath said.
Telstra Health said Corus iX provides a FHIR-native interoperability layer linking hospitals, primary care providers, aged care organisations, pathology services, public health agencies and digital health applications through a single governed platform.
The platform incorporates consent management, audit, privacy and compliance controls, with the company saying it replaces point-to-point integrations with standards-based information exchange to support secure data sharing, AI-enabled healthcare applications and predictive analytics.
Managing Director Elizabeth Koff said the recognition reflected the company’s work to improve the exchange of health information across healthcare systems.
“We are honoured to receive this recognition in APAC. However, what makes it particularly meaningful is that it acknowledges the work being done to solve a challenge shared by health systems around the world: how to connect information, people and services in ways that deliver better health outcomes for everyone,” Ms Koff said.
“At its heart, connected care is about ensuring that no one needs to tell their story more than once, and that clinicians have access to the right information when and where they need it.”
Ms Koff said the focus of digital health should be on creating connected technology foundations rather than adding further complexity to existing systems.
“The future of digital health is not about adding more technology to already complex systems. It is about creating intelligent, connected foundations that reduce complexity, strengthen collaboration and turn information into meaningful action,” she said.
Frost & Sullivan said Telstra Health’s clinician-led product development, customer collaboration and phased deployment methodology had helped establish its leadership position in the healthcare interoperability market.
