EaseCARE Medical
Website: www.easecare.ca
Platform: InnovaCARE Tech
a) This Terms of Use (“TOU”) is a legal agreement between you and EaseCARE Medical (“EaseCARE”), together with our affiliates and distributors (collectively, also referred to as “our” or “us” or “we”), which own and/or operate: (1) the website located at www.easecare.ca (the “Website”); (2) the associated standalone InnovaCARE Tech virtual care platform (“InnovaCARE Tech”); and (3) all other services provided by us through InnovaCARE Tech or as described on the Website (collectively, the “Platform”).
b) This TOU forms a legally binding agreement between us and you. The term “you” refers to the person or entity visiting the Platform, browsing or otherwise using the Platform, or receiving any services through the Platform. This TOU addresses topics including but not limited to setting out circumstances in which you may use the Platform on behalf of another individual, for example, a child or other individual for whom you have legal authority, in which case references to “you” and “your” may include the child or other individual for whom you have the legal authority.
c) IMPORTANT! BY ACCESSING AND USING THE PLATFORM, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND COMPLY WITH THE TOU. ACCESSING THE PLATFORM IS THE EQUIVALENT OF YOUR SIGNATURE AND INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TOU AND THAT YOU INTEND TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE TOU. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TOU, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.
d) DO NOT USE THE PLATFORM FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or attend the emergency room of the nearest hospital or health centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt self-treatment based on any content of the Platform.
e) THE PLATFORM IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE ADVICE AND MEDICAL CARE PROVIDED BY YOUR PRIMARY DOCTOR OR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER.
f) This TOU sets out the terms and conditions under which you may access and use the Platform. We may amend, modify, and revise this TOU at any time without notice. Use of the Platform after such changes are posted will indicate your acceptance of the revised TOU.
a) The use of the Platform, as permitted by us and the TOU, enables you to obtain access to health care professionals (“HCPs”) and personal health assistants (“PHAs”) by phone, secure text, and/or video for telemedicine and telehealth consultations, and to receive general information about diseases and conditions and how they are treated, as well as administrative support services via telemedicine and telehealth (“Health Services” and “Support Services,” respectively).
b) An HCP may provide an assessment, offer a diagnosis, order tests, and prescribe treatment, including prescriptions, as appropriate. Health Services provided through the Platform are not a substitute for having your own family doctor or primary care provider provide care to you, and they are not a substitute for in-person health care interactions.
c) HCPs have the exclusive and sole authority to determine the appropriate Health Services for you. For greater certainty, you may request a particular test, treatment, prescription, or other Health Service; however, an HCP is under no obligation to order such a test, or provide such treatment, prescription, or other Health Service if the HCP does not believe such requested test, treatment, prescription, or Health Service is appropriate for you.
d) As previously stated in this TOU, and for clarity, we provide and support the technology which enables your access to HCPs and/or PHAs along with all necessary support and technology services prior to, during, and after your visit. EaseCARE Medical is not responsible in any way for the Health Services or Support Services provided by the HCPs or PHAs on the Platform, nor are we responsible for how they collect, use, disclose, and retain your personal information (“PI”) and personal health information (“PHI”).
e) No blogs, information, or any other media on the Website is intended to convey medical advice, and any information should not be relied on as medical advice for any reason. Please contact a medical professional if you have questions pertaining to a medical issue. Please contact your closest emergency department in case of an emergency or if you require immediate assistance.
f) We collaborate with Imagine Health Pharmacy to provide additional clinical support services. Through this collaboration, Imagine Health Pharmacy may assist with prescription fulfillment, medication counseling, and other pharmacy-related clinical support services as needed. While we facilitate this collaboration to enhance your care experience, please note that Imagine Health Pharmacy operates independently and is governed by its own policies, procedures, and applicable regulations. Any services provided by Imagine Health Pharmacy are subject to their terms and conditions, and we are not responsible for the quality or delivery of services provided by the pharmacy.
a) The Platform enables HCPs and PHAs to receive PI and PHI about you through the Platform and to provide Health Services or Support Services to you. Your use of the Platform neither establishes nor governs your relationship with the HCP or PHA. You acknowledge that you are our customer, and we reserve the right to remove or add HCPs and PHAs on the Platform, and do not make any guarantees that you can access the same HCP and/or PHA on each visit. We may share your PHI and PI with various HCPs and PHAs on the Platform in order to provide you with appropriate continuity of care.
b) To use the Platform, you must be 18 years of age or older.
c) AS A CONDITION OF YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, YOU WARRANT THAT:
i) YOU HAVE REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY IN YOUR JURISDICTION OF RESIDENCE OR YOU ARE THE LEGAL GUARDIAN OF THE INDIVIDUAL USING THE PLATFORM AND CONSENT TO THEIR USE OF THE PLATFORM;
ii) YOU POSSESS THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO CREATE A BINDING LEGAL OBLIGATION;iii) YOU WILL USE THE PLATFORM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS OF USE;
iv) ALL INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY YOU ON THE PLATFORM IS TRUE, ACCURATE, CURRENT, AND COMPLETE; AND
v) IF YOU ARE ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON OR A CORPORATE ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY TO THESE TERMS OF USE.
d) We retain the right, at our sole discretion, to deny access to anyone to the Platform or to the Health Services or Support Services, at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, for violation of the TOU. You will cease and desist from any such access or use immediately upon our request.
e) You agree to refrain from abusive language or inappropriate conduct when communicating with anyone through the Platform, including HCPs and PHAs, and that you will conduct yourself at all times in a respectful manner. You agree that you will not contact HCPs and PHAs in respect of Health Services or Support Services except through the Platform.
f) In addition to the Health Services and Support Services, the Platform enables HCPs and yourself to upload and store your PHI, including PHI created or compiled in the course of providing Health Services, to share your PHI with HCPs and PHAs, and to receive and store prescriptions and sick notes or other documents from HCPs and PHAs electronically. The Platform offers optional services that we can perform on your behalf, and at your direction, such as the secure transfer of a summary report about your Health Services to a physician of your choice or secure transfer of your prescription to your chosen pharmacy or prescription delivery service.
a) HCPs on the Platform are independent, regulated health professionals, registered to provide certain health services in one or more provinces or territories in Canada.
b) HCPs on the Platform may be located in the province or territory in which you reside, or another province or territory in Canada, as permitted by their regulatory authority. For more information about any particular HCP, you may review their governing body’s website for more information.
a) Telemedicine or telehealth refers to the use of information and communication technologies to provide health care or other services at a distance, where the patient and physician/health care provider are not in the same location. HCPs and PHAs may ask you questions about your personal health history, present condition or symptoms, and any course of treatment or medication that has been prescribed to you. HCPs may also conduct a visual examination of you in the course of providing Health Services and may ask you to conduct certain self-assessments such as taking your temperature or blood pressure. PHAs do not provide any Health Services and only provide Support Services that are informational in nature.
b) Neither the Health Services provided by HCPs nor the Support Services provided by PHAs are intended to replace your primary care relationship with your family doctor or other primary care health professional. You should continue to consult your family doctor or other primary care health professional regularly or as needed or recommended by them.
c) HCPs may refer you to other consultants or specialists for in-person consultations and can report to you on the results of those consultations. HCPs may also prescribe medication to you and can direct prescriptions to the pharmacy or other dispensing location of your choosing. HCPs and PHAs may also be available to you to follow up on the results of any treatment, including any reactions to medication, side effects, or other adverse events. HCPs may send reports regarding the care provided to you to your family physician or other primary care health professional after consultations with you.
d) The HCP is responsible for obtaining your informed consent to treatment. You are encouraged to ask questions of the HCP regarding any course of treatment or medication that is prescribed or recommended to you. If you are not satisfied with the explanation or information provided by the HCP, you should seek a second opinion from another physician. You have the right to refuse or withdraw consent to treatment at any time.
e) Since telemedicine is regulated by jurisdictions differently, the type of Health Services that are available to you through the Platform may differ depending on your jurisdiction of residence and your location at the time you request Health Services.
f) There are restrictions on the types of Health Services that can be provided through the Platform. Certain types of conditions are excluded or require in-person consultations. HCPs are not permitted to prescribe certain kinds of medication, including narcotics, controlled substances, or other types of controlled medications which may be harmful due to the potential for abuse. If the HCP is not able to assist you, they may advise that you visit a clinic or hospital for an in-person consultation.
g) YOU MUST NOT USE THE PLATFORM FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY OR ATTEND YOUR NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM.
h) HCPs and PHAs have the discretion to refuse or discontinue the provision of Health Services or Support Services at any time and for any reason, including if they are of the opinion that the Health Services are not appropriate in the circumstances or if there is actual or potential misuse of the Health Services. Your HCP may determine that Health Services or a particular requested test, treatment, or prescription are not appropriate for some or all of your treatment needs, and accordingly may elect not to provide the requested test, treatment, prescription, or any Health Services to you through the Platform.
i) As with any other health care service, there are risks associated with the use of the Health Services and risks associated with any inappropriate reliance on Support Services.
j) There are additional risks associated with telemedicine which may adversely impact the ability of the HCP to provide Health Services or the PHA to provide Support Services, including but not limited to:
i) poor quality audio-video connections due to remote locations or other network limitations that may limit the ability of the HCP to conduct an appropriate assessment of you or otherwise obtain sufficient PHI from you to support a diagnosis or prescription;
ii) delays in evaluation or treatment resulting from similar technology failures;
iii) lack of access to your personal health records maintained outside the Platform (i.e., by your family doctor or other primary care health professional), which may result in adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions, or other errors (you should always advise the HCP and any dispensing pharmacists of all medications you are taking and any allergies you may have); and
iv) unauthorized collection, use, or disclosure of your PHI due to a security protocol breach or failure.
k) Support Services are intended for general educational purposes only and are not Health Services. PHAs may provide information relating to a disease or condition that is not patient-specific and that does not include a diagnosis or treatment. Support Services do not replace consultations with qualified regulated health professionals.
a) The collection, use, and disclosure of PI and PHI are governed by our Privacy Policy, located in the footer of our home page at www.easecare.ca. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into, and forms part of, the TOU. By accessing and using the Platform, you agree to be bound by its terms.
b) Every HCP and PHA is governed by their own privacy policies and may have to retain your PI and PHI off the Platform in order to comply with relevant rules and regulations which govern their profession. We encourage you to speak with your HCP or PHA to understand what information they will collect and retain outside of the Platform.
a) In order to use the Platform and access Health Services or Support Services, you will be required to create a user account (the “User Account”) and obtain a username and password login credentials (“User ID”). You are responsible for keeping your User ID secure. We reserve the right to disable any User Account issued to you at any time in our sole discretion. If we disable access to a User Account issued to you, you may be prevented from accessing the Platform, any content, your account details, or any User content.
b) The Health Services and Support Services are also available for use by children at the discretion of the HCP or PHA, but the user itself, the holder of the User Account and User ID, for all patients under the age of 18 must be the patient’s parent or legal guardian. If you register as the parent or legal guardian on behalf of a minor, you must create a separate “profile” for each dependent, and you are fully responsible for complying with the TOU on each profile created. Children may only use the Platform in the presence of their parent or legal guardian.
c) You can request that we close your User Account information by e-mailing info@easecare.ca. By doing this, access to your account will be disabled, and all PI and PHI will be inaccessible.

We would like to acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit who have lived and cared for the lands known as Canada for generations. We are grateful for the traditional knowledge keepers and elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgment as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on.
