The company has been named Frost & Sullivan's 2026 Asia-Pacific Company of the Year for healthcare interoperability, with judges citing its FHIR-native platform and clinician-led approach to connected care.
Telstra Health has been recognised as Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Asia-Pacific Company of the Year for native healthcare enterprise interoperability platforms, with the analyst firm highlighting the company’s leadership in standards-based digital health infrastructure and connected care.
The award recognises Telstra Health’s work in developing interoperability technology that enables health information to be shared securely between hospitals, primary care, aged care, and other healthcare providers using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards.
In a statement, Frost & Sullivan said Telstra Health stood out in its assessment of strategy and execution, citing the company’s clinician-led development model, phased implementation approach and investment in secure, standards-based interoperability.
“Telstra Health has established a differentiated position in the APAC healthcare interoperability market by combining standards-based innovation with a clinician-led development model that ensures technology aligns with real-world healthcare delivery,” said Frost & Sullivan director Sowmya Srinath.
“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.”
Telstra Health’s interoperability platform, Corus iX, underpins its broader Corus connected care ecosystem and is built on Smile Digital Health’s OmniVera HDP platform.
The technology enables healthcare organisations to exchange governed clinical information across multiple care settings while maintaining consent, privacy and audit controls.
Telstra Health’s managing director Elizabeth Koff said the recognition reflected the importance of solving interoperability challenges that affect health systems globally.

“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.”
She said future digital health systems would depend on connected foundations that reduced complexity and supported better clinical decision-making.
“The future of digital health is not about adding more technology to already complex systems,” Ms Koff said.
“It is about creating intelligent, connected foundations that reduce complexity, strengthen collaboration and turn information into meaningful action.
“Corus iX is helping health and care organisations do exactly that by bringing data and insights into workflows to support safer, more informed and sustainable care for all of us.”
