Congratulations to the Government of Nova Scotia on the launch of the new Patient Summary feature in the YourHealthNS app, now available to Nova Scotians.
This release marks another meaningful step toward giving people greater access to, and control over, their own health information. With a secure, user-controlled summary of key medical details, Nova Scotians can now share information such as allergies, medications, immunizations, lab results, and hospital visits quickly and safely with trusted providers or caregivers.
At Infoway, we believe that empowering patients with access to their health data — and enabling safe, trusted exchange — is foundational to delivering Connected Care across Canada. The YourHealthNS launch reflects this vision in action, and we congratulate the Nova Scotia Health Authority on reaching this incredible milestone.
Digital health innovations grounded in national standards, such as the Pan-Canadian Patient Summary (PS-CA), help make care more coordinated, timely, and person-centred. We look forward to continued progress with jurisdictions and partners across the country as we work together to advance a modern, connected health system for all Canadians.
Nova Scotians can now access a summary of their medical information through the YourHealthNS app.
The new feature allows users to generate and share a concise overview of their medical record with a healthcare provider or another trusted individual. The secure summary may include allergies and intolerances, medical conditions, diagnostic imaging, immunizations, lab results, medications, and hospital visits or stays.
The summary is created directly from the province’s secure electronic health record. The same source that provides Nova Scotians with access to view their health information in YourHealthNS. Read more: https://news.novascotia.ca/en/2025/11/28/patient-summary-now-available-yourhealthns
