Founded in 2015, Linkedcare has maintained rapid growth by leveraging deep industry insights, an innovation-driven strategy, and robust R&D capabilities. Currently serving over 50,000 dental and medical aesthetics institutions, it holds more than 85% of the high-end market share among private dental practices in China. Thanks to its superior product strength and continuous innovation, Linkedcare achieves a Net Dollar Retention (NDR) rate as high as 129%.

With the continuous advancement of intelligent technologies, AI will play a decisive role in shaping the future development of the dental industry. In 2025, Linkedcare’s strategy will evolve from “SaaS+X” to an AI+SaaS dual-engine driven digital-intelligent platform tailored for the consumer healthcare vertical.

Linkedcare’s dental SaaS software, e-Kanya, provides dental clinics with an integrated solution for “revenue generation, risk mitigation, cost reduction, and efficiency enhancement.” It improves clinic management efficiency through information technology in practice management software; supports marketing, customer acquisition, and business intelligence via digital technologies such as “Youke” and “Youshu”; and empowers clinics to efficiently uncover patient needs, expand business opportunities, and increase revenue through artificial intelligence technologies like “AI Dentistry” in the e-Kanya Smart Edition.

Linkedcare’s e-Kanya Mall is committed to providing dental institutions with a one-stop supply chain solution, enabling them to “save more on consumables purchases and manage inventory with greater ease.” By directly reducing costs and improving efficiency through its supply chain, the platform helps clients enhance their operational profitability and capital efficiency.

Building on its existing e-Kanya dental SaaS software, e-Kanya Mall, and Yue Rong medical aesthetics SaaS software, Linkedcare officially entered the clear aligner orthodontics market in 2023 by introducing cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology. By deeply integrating AI into orthodontic diagnostic analysis and treatment planning, the company has further enhanced personalization and intelligence. As a strategic cornerstone of its clear aligner orthodontics business, Linkedcare launched “Yue Jian Linkedsmile,” a next-generation brand for clear aligner therapy.

China has 4 million orthodontic patients annually, with an invisible orthodontics penetration rate of less than 20%. Traditional invisible orthodontics still face unresolved clinical pain points, such as high restart rates, poor patient compliance, and prolonged treatment durations. Guided by the philosophy of "Precise Diagnosis, Precision Orthodontics," Yuejian has sequentially launched its Yueya early childhood correction product, the Yueya Starry Night Edition (a nighttime wear solution for early childhood correction to address compliance issues in children), as well as a comprehensive product portfolio including Yuejian Professional Edition, Flagship Edition, and Maxillary Reconstruction (MR). At the 2024 COS Conference, Yuejian partnered with LuxCreo to introduce Yuejian 4D, the first direct 3D-printed aligner solution in China. This product is the world’s first and only directly 3D-printed aligner to have received FDA, CE, and NMPA approvals. Leveraging unique reversible shape-memory materials and direct 3D printing technology, it offers greater precision, speed, comfort, and environmental friendliness.

Linkedcare Yuejian has established the “Invisible Orthodontics Biomechanics and AI Medical-Enterprise Integration Laboratory” with the Institute of Biomedical Materials and Regenerative Medicine at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and has launched scientific research collaborations with several academic and research institutions. Upholding its commitment to continuous innovation, Yuejian will leverage AI and 3D printing as key drivers to continually introduce more innovative products and solutions.

Since its launch, Yuejian has successively partnered with renowned dental healthcare groups across China, including Yaboshi Dental Group, Meivie Dental Medical Group, Malo Dental Group, Jinsong Dental Group, Yabeikang Dental Group, Little White Rabbit Dental Group, Ningbo Dental Group, Guangzhou Suihua Dental Group, Dehan Dental Group, Henglun Dental Group, Yiya Yingbo Dental Group, Delun Dental Group, Arrail Dental Group, Taikang Bybo Dental Group, Fujian Jingteer Meikepu Dental Group, and Ke’en Dental Group. In 2024, Yuejian achieved a year-on-year growth of 241%, preliminarily demonstrating the product strength and innovative capability of Yuejian.

The success of this funding round has provided Linkedcare and Yuejian with ample financial support. The company will increase its investment in emerging AI technologies such as AIGC, accelerate the R&D and promotion of Yuejian’s AI-powered 3D direct-print aligner technology, and strengthen product offerings and supply chain development for the e-Kanya Mall. The company will continue to enhance the R&D and application of AI technologies, further improve the intelligence level of its products and services, and consistently advance the global expansion of the smart dental industry.

Linkedcare Founder and CEO Wu Zhijia“He stated, ‘An outstanding enterprise must excel in three indispensable areas: market segment, business model, and organizational structure. Drawing on the development of dental and medical aesthetics institutions in developed countries such as those in Europe, the United States, and Japan, I am highly confident in China’s dental and medical aesthetics industries. SaaS represents a business model driven by compound growth. With the advent of next-generation AIGC technologies, vertical-industry SaaS solutions will have greater opportunities to create enhanced value for customers. I firmly believe that the evolution of AI+SaaS into AIaaS will break through the ceiling of traditional SaaS, unlocking broader growth potential. Currently, Linkedcare’s e-Kanya SaaS software, e-Kanya Marketplace, and Yuerong Medical Aesthetics SaaS software have all achieved sustained profitability, while Yuejian recorded a year-on-year growth of 241% in 2024.
