Yingkang Yisheng CEO Ma Anjie Outlines Vision for High-Quality Development in Healthcare Through Digital Intelligence and Ecosystem Integration

Recently, the 2023 Shanghai (Spring) Medical Exchange Conference and the 6th National Medical Exchange Conference, themed “Operational Breakthroughs, Winning Through Innovation,” were held in Shanghai. Industry elites from across China’s healthcare sector gathered to assess emerging trends in industry development and explore new opportunities for win-win cooperation.

At the opening forum of the conference, Ma Anjie, CEO of YK Healthcare Medical Services, delivered a keynote speech titled “Focusing on High-Quality Development of the Big Health Industry and Building an IoT Medical Ecosystem Brand.” He shared how YK Healthcare, Haier’s big health ecosystem brand, takes people’s health needs as its starting point to provide full-lifecycle health services covering “prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation” from hospitals to homes. He stated that digital intelligence brings new scenarios and experiences to healthcare, while ecosystem-based approaches will build a patient-centric service system; these two elements are the inevitable path toward high-quality development in the big health industry.

Today, medical services are gradually extending from hospitals to homes, and home health services have entered a period of rapid growth driven by both policy support and increasing demand. YK HEALTHCARE continues to “decode” user needs in the broader health sector, shifting its focus from quality of life to quality of living.

“Our hospitals have achieved the cross-regional transfer and replication of high-quality specialties through comprehensive discipline development. Using this as a touchpoint, we have established a big data-driven smart platform to extend premium in-hospital medical care to patients’ homes, creating a home-based health management system integrated into the Haier Smart Home ecosystem, thereby providing more comprehensive medical services to patients,” introduced Ma Anjie. The H2H (Hospital to Home) home-based health management system built by YK HEALTHCARE leverages digitalization and technological innovation to enable bidirectional connectivity between physical medical services and internet hospitals. It establishes scenarios for continuous patient interaction, ensuring that patients receive uninterrupted care even after discharge (“leaving the hospital but not the service”), and delivers full-lifecycle health management covering “prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.”

Currently, YK HEALTHCARE Internet Hospital leverages its affiliated physical hospitals, supported by expert medical resources and internet technology, to achieve seamless integration between online and offline services. It continuously meets users’ emerging needs for home-based health services by providing precise and personalized care, thereby enhancing the continuity of medical services and offering patients more convenient, efficient, and high-quality healthcare. For instance, Shanxi YK HEALTHCARE General Hospital (Yuncheng First Hospital), under the YK HEALTHCARE umbrella, has launched an “Internet + Home Nursing” service. It pioneered ten home nursing items, including PICC line care, stoma care, insertion/replacement of gastric tubes, general enemas, drainage tube care, and venous blood sample collection, enabling patients to receive professional nursing services without leaving their homes.

As the public’s health status continues to improve, health demands have extended beyond mere diagnosis and treatment services, exhibiting characteristics of diversification, multi-level coverage, and full-cycle care. Building a life-course approach to health services is an intrinsic requirement of the “Healthy China” strategy and a key pathway to enhancing the health status of the entire population.

“Focusing on users’ life and health needs, YK HEALTHCARE actively connects with top-tier ecosystem resources across industry, academia, research, and application in the broader health sector, driving the transformation of medical services from disease diagnosis and treatment to full-lifecycle management encompassing ‘prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation,’ thereby providing users with high-quality medical services and healthcare experiences,” said Ma Anjie.

For example, YK HEALTHCARE continuously strengthens the development of key disciplines and has established a Thoracic Oncology Professional Committee. By intensifying resource integration, it ensures accessibility to high-quality medical resources. On one hand, it focuses on industry-leading resource platforms, connects with more expert resources, and builds a high-level multidisciplinary team (MDT) model for tumor diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, it deeply integrates resources such as genetics, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), nutrition, supply chain, and commercial insurance, providing patients with diversified rehabilitation services including health monitoring, disease progression management, TCM consultations, nutritional support, home care services, and postoperative insurance. Meanwhile, leveraging Suzhou Guangci Cancer Hospital under YK HEALTHCARE, and opening links to medical resources in the Yangtze River Delta region such as the Medical College of Soochow University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, it has built a development platform. Through professional training, industry exchanges, and talent cultivation, it facilitates the replication of advantageous disciplines and sustainable hospital development, gradually establishing a nationwide network of top-tier oncology medical resources.

In his closing remarks, Ma Anjie stated that the purpose of developing the broader health industry is to continuously enhance people’s health and well-being by providing high-quality services for a healthy and fulfilling life. YK HEALTHCARE aims to collaborate with more partners to achieve mutual success, continually meet people’s health needs across the entire life cycle, and drive high-quality development of the broader health industry through digital intelligence and ecosystem-based approaches, thereby helping “people everywhere enjoy lifelong health and well-being.”
