Telstra Health is moving on from the first stage of its long-term growth strategy in which it invested $240 million in buying or partnering with 18 different companies and entering a new integration and delivery phase in the coming year, with plans to release new interoperable products and platforms built upon the foundational technologies it has acquired, including an app-based patient interactive platform that will plug into the My Health Record.

While a search for a long-term replacement for retiring Telstra Health managing director Shane Solomon is underway, Telstra's group executive for new businesses Cynthia Whelan is taking a hands-on role, managing the division's day-to-day operations and looking at integrating the different companies and brands into one Telstra Health whole.
