Process of Becoming a TELUS health space Solution Provider

TELUS health space runs on Microsoft HealthVault technology. To learn more about how to connect to TELUS health space, we recommend that you connect directly to the MSDN HealthVault Developer Center

In particular, we recommend that you read Getting Started with the Microsoft SDK and that you take a look at the HealthVault Developer Center for forums, blogs, and other relevant technical information by Microsoft developers.

• Contact the TELUS health space Business Development Team at thsbd@telus.com. The TELUS team will guide you through this on-boarding process and provide you with relevant additional business and technical documentation
• Involve your technical development team to analyze and design your integration strategy. Depending on the level of expertise of your team, you might involve an external System Integrator to perform the integration and on-boarding on TELUS health space. Contact the TELUS health space Business Development Team at thsbd@telus.com to learn more about our recommended System Integrator list.
• Download the development kits:
  • For application partners, download the Software Development Kit (SDK);
  • For device manufacturers, download the Device Driver Development Kit DDK.
• Experiment with the application. Contact the TELUS health space Technical Program Manager at thsgolive@telus.com. The Technical Program Manager will guide you through this experimentation phase and will provide you with an account in our pre-production environment (PPE). You can then edit the code in the sample applications. The TELUS health space pre-production environment is separate from, but functionally equivalent to, the TELUS health space live environment. This separation allows developers to create an account in the developer environment, set up fictitious TELUS health space accounts for fictitious TELUS health space users, and experiment by changing the code in the sample applications. It is important to note that private information should not be stored in the pre-production environment.
• Get an ApplicationID directly from the Application Configuration Center on the PPE or contact the TELUS health space Technical Program Manager at thsgolive@telus.com to obtain one. The Application ID will enable you to:

  • put your own logo, application name and description on the application authorization page
  • enables developers to set up offline data access (allowing your application to access user data when the user is not signed in to TELUS health space),
  • use OpenQuery functionality (to access user information on a linked server), and
  • use Send Email functionality.

• Verify that your application and operational processes meet the TELUS Operating and Privacy Requirements. Contact TELUS health space’s Technical Program Manager at thsgolive@telus.com for more details on these requirements.

• Once your application is integrated and fully functional on the Pre-Production and Conformance Environment (PPE), contact the TELUS health space Technical Program Manager at thsgolive@telus.com to finalize the details of your Go-Live Review. For more information on the certification process, click here.
• The Technical Program Manager will guide you through this important phase that will see your application or device being certified and made available to all users on TELUS health space.
• Prior to your Go-Live Review, you need to have a Solution Provider Agreement in place. Contact TELUS health space at thsbd@telus.com for all business related issues.
