TELUS Volleys into Healthcare with Investments in Homethrive and Rhino Health

TELUS Global Ventures is stepping up its role in healthcare innovation, investing in Homethrive and Rhino Health to accelerate elder care, data-driven healthcare solutions, and advanced diagnostics.

These strategic investments align with TELUS's mission to create a more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare landscape. TELUS Global Ventures has expanded its portfolio to over 150 companies pioneering transformative health technologies worldwide.

Homethrive, based in Illinois, addresses the increasing demand for elder care by combining digital solutions with human expertise, simplifying caregiving for families. Its platform provides a suite of services, including care coordination, healthcare navigation, and emotional support, helping families balance work and caregiving.

Rhino Health, headquartered in Boston, is transforming healthcare data use with federated learning and edge computing, which allow researchers to access siloed data without compromising privacy. TELUS Global Ventures’ investment will support Rhino Health’s development of secure data collaborations across borders, creating new opportunities for AI-driven insights and accelerated research in healthcare and life sciences.

Both startups will leverage TELUS Health’s global footprint to foster a patient-centered care ecosystem.
