Dezhen Tech Launches Next-Gen Integrated Electronic Medical Record System, Files IPO Prospectus

Dezhen Technology has launched a new generation of integrated electronic medical record (EMR) products. In accordance with the National Graded Evaluation Standards for EMR System Application Levels and aligned with the healthcare management requirements of large hospitals, the company has built an integrated EMR system covering outpatient physicians, inpatient physicians, inpatient nurses, medical documentation, clinical pathways, medical quality control, and mobile nursing. The system adopts a microservices and middle-platform architecture and meets the technical requirements for “Xinchuang” (Information Technology Application Innovation) at the architectural level.

Dezhen Technology has established close partnerships with several of the top ten hospitals on the Fudan University Hospital Rankings, including Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Zhongshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University, Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University, and The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Dezhen’s next-generation electronic medical record (EMR) products have been deployed among a subset of its clients, receiving positive user feedback and favorable results in EMR application level assessments.

In a business world full of challenges and changes, the exploration, reflection, and progress of some pioneers may reflect specific facets of their era. VCBeat seeks to understand, through a conversation with Zhao Fei, founder of Dezhen Technology, how he perceives shifts in trends within the healthcare informatics industry and uncovers the reasons behind Dezhen Technology’s favor among many leading hospitals. 

Prior to founding his startup, Zhao Fei served as the Director of Healthcare Industry Delivery at Microsoft MCS. With extensive experience in architecture design and technical team management, he led the Microsoft team in delivering integration platforms and data centers for more than half of Shanghai’s tertiary hospitals.

Dezhen Technology’s core technical team also hails from Microsoft, forming a multidisciplinary group that combines solid technical expertise, extensive project experience, and strategic business insights. This is closely tied to Zhao Fei’s technological philosophy. As an “IT veteran,” he pursues utmost excellence in the technical quality of healthcare IT products. In his view, the engineer’s spirit—driven by R&D and focused on product superiority—is the key to success. As a typical technical engineer, Zhao Fei has sensed the market pulse amid the iterations of healthcare informatization, recognizing that the industry is entering a new era of upgrading and transformation.

“Due to the unique nature of the healthcare industry, medical informatization involves more complex business processes and higher quality requirements. Consequently, information and digital technologies that have long been maturely applied in sectors such as finance and telecommunications are being adopted at a slower pace in healthcare settings. Faced with this significant industry gap, we aim to leverage technology to drive change by introducing advanced technologies and management models into the healthcare sector,” said Zhao Fei.

“Industry promotion brought by single-point entry can be found in the overall construction results of hospitals and customer feedback, but the effect is not as good as systematic solutions.” Zhao Fei believes that hospital digitalization and intelligence is a process from digitization to smart transformation. To achieve this transformation, hospitals need to start from an overall perspective, with unified planning and construction through a top-down approach using a set of systematic solutions. Therefore, Dezhen Technology's approach is to improve the level of hospital digitalization by upgrading the hospital information system architecture, which triggers comprehensive changes throughout the entire system. After a period of digital development, the smart transformation of hospitals will naturally follow.

Dezhen Technology is built upon business, technology, and data middle platforms, with a new-generation core information system at its heart. It facilitates data utilization and interconnectivity among clinical specialty systems within hospitals, as well as between internal and external systems, and has established a hospital-wide product matrix covering smart management, smart operations, and smart healthcare.

“Breaking the impasse” is a shared aspiration among healthcare IT enterprises. However, to determine which companies can stand out in the market and gain recognition from hospitals, we must assess whether their core technologies truly possess disruptive power.

In terms of core technologies, Dezhen Technology’s new-generation electronic medical record (EMR) system enables agile development and rapid deployment, allowing for swift adjustments in response to policy changes and management requirements.Microservice architecture enables independent deployment of subsystems and separate data storage, allowing hospitals to flexibly assemble subsystem modules according to different applications, thereby meeting the needs for medical quality control and refined operational management.

In terms of product implementation, Dezhen Technology has accumulated high-standard practical training experience with leading hospitals, continuously refining its product capabilities and optimizing fulfillment performance.“The new system must work in close collaboration with industry experts and large tertiary hospitals to ensure that product features better align with real-world clinical scenarios and management requirements.” Dezhen (Shanghai) Information Technology Co., Ltd. has established close partnerships with leading hospitals to gain an in-depth understanding of healthcare management models, leveraging its software products for knowledge accumulation and innovation.

Dezhen Technology believes that the high-quality development of hospitals and the performance evaluation of public hospitals promoted by the National Health Commission, as well as the Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) payment system advanced by the National Healthcare Security Administration, will inevitably drive hospitals to achieve comprehensive improvements in clinical capabilities, patient services, operational management, and clinical research through holistic iteration and upgrades of their internal information systems. This will become another significant trend in medical informatization, ushering in a period of rapid growth.

It is understood that Dezhen Technology will achieve rapid coverage and deployment to meet the operational needs of hospital departments at all levels. Zhao Fei shared that,Dezhen Technology will subsequently build a bridge for the transformation of clinical specialty knowledge achievements based on its core information systems, gradually stepping into the era of digital intelligence in clinical specialty systems.

Zhao Fei stated, “Dezhen’s core products and service capabilities have gained recognition from the industry and key clients. Going forward, we will remain steadfast in our current strategic direction. While continuing to enhance the underlying technical capabilities of our information systems, we will deepen collaborative partnerships with hospitals and specialized departments to improve our product and service offerings, ultimately driving improvements in healthcare quality and efficiency.”
