TELUS and League will partner to support Canadian healthcare innovation with sovereign AI

TELUS and League today announced a groundbreaking collaboration to revolutionize healthcare delivery for millions of Canadians. League will power its comprehensive AI-driven healthcare platform on TELUS’ infrastructure – Canada’s first fully sovereign AI Factory. Supported by this sovereign AI infrastructure, advanced AI can deliver more personalized and efficient care, improving patient outcomes.

Operating on TELUS’ high-performance, highly-secure, Canadian-controlled infrastructure in Rimouski, Quebec, League’s AI-powered healthcare solutions will leverage the power of NVIDIA’s latest Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) technology to process health data and deliver AI-powered recommendations to help Canadians navigate their healthcare journey more effectively. League’s platform, which has already delivered over 100 million personalized health recommendations including millions to Canadian patients, will be able to leverage the sovereign infrastructure to physically store sensitive healthcare data within Canada’s borders – supporting a key priority for the deployment of secure, privacy-compliant and sovereign AI, while enabling advanced research and development of unique Canadian-centric models.

TELUS’ sovereign infrastructure enables Canadian healthcare organizations to develop AI solutions tailored specifically to Canadian healthcare needs and regulations, rather than adapting generic offerings. The partnership will enable more effective care coordination, personalized health recommendations and improved patient engagement.

The AI Factory will empower organizations with total, end-to-end development capabilities to build new AI models (model training), customize existing ones for specific needs (fine-tuning) and deploy them in business operations (inferencing). Powered by 99 per cent renewable energy sources, the factory is built in one of the most sustainable AI-ready data centres in the world. Supported by TELUS’ high-speed, ultra-low-latency, PureFibre network, the facility is designed to use significantly less electricity to power AI computing workloads and is three times more energy efficient than the industry average – demonstrating that cutting-edge AI capabilities and environmental stewardship are essential for Canada’s technological future.
