Qu Yi, Founder and CEO of NetRain, shared his insights and understanding of the “Internet Healthcare 3.0 Innovative Model.” Internet Healthcare 3.0 represents comprehensive integration and unified development. The era of Internet Healthcare 3.0 signifies “two transformations,” namely a shift from traditional offline hospitals or online internet hospitals toward an integrated closed-loop model encompassing “online + offline” and “pharmaceuticals + medical care + insurance + elderly care.” This transition has given rise to two new trends: on one hand, it involves large-scale, regional connectivity with top-tier medical resources, including physician groups and healthcare institutions; on the other hand, it entails collaboration with manufacturers and service providers to integrate big data in healthcare, shifting towards providing health services that cover all health scenarios, the entire medical process, and the full life cycle, thereby achieving comprehensive integrated development between internet technology and the healthcare sector. In the future, NetRain will continue to empower through technology, integrate resources across the broader health industry, and lead innovation in internet healthcare models.

Lin Kan, Vice President of the Committee on Medicine and Food Homology of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, delivered a speech on “Empowering Internet Healthcare Platforms with Mobile Medical Insurance Payments.” In his presentation, he highlighted that, focusing on the four core business areas—“Internet Hospitals,” “Internet + Chronic Disease Management,” “Internet + Elderly Care,” and “Internet + Nursing”—the organization will collaborate with Natrai to establish more Internet hospitals. They aim to promote the rollout of WeChat Pay’s online medical insurance payment capabilities for Internet hospitals in cities across China, including Foshan, Chengdu, and Tianjin. By leveraging technology, they seek to make healthcare access easier for patients, facilitate the practical implementation of tiered diagnosis and treatment, and contribute to enhancing the public’s sense of gain and well-being.
