eHealth Services

Prescient's team of Internet health consultants have the health knowledge and technology expertise to deliver leading Internet solutions for health organizations of all sizes and various sectors, including government, not-for-profit, and private sectors.

The Internet is revolutionizing healthcare. An Ipsos-Reid survey found that more Canadians have looked for online health information more than any other online activity – Americans and Europeans are also looking more and more to the Web for health information, services and tools. According to the Boston Consulting Group, 80% of online adults in the U.S. use the Internet to look for health information; and 96% of all physicians used Internet technology.

Prescient consultants have worked on planning and implementation projects for a diverse range of clients including the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Blue Cross Blue Shield (MN), Heart & Stroke Foundation, Ontario Public Health and others. Prescient has won 14 awards in the past 18 months including the 2004 Webby Award (the Oscar of the Internet), for our planning, design and operation of HealthyOntario.com.
