Anxunda Sheng Files IPO Prospectus: Powering China's Oncology Digital Healthcare with Strategic Partnership with National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences
Technological tools have emerged in rapid succession, turning ideals into reality and enabling those committed to changing the real world to bring once somewhat science-fiction-like medical scenarios into everyday life. With the comprehensive deployment and widespread adoption of new technologies such as 5G, big data, and cloud computing in healthcare settings, these innovations have effectively improved the utilization efficiency of medical resources, alleviated burdens on both healthcare providers and patients, and enhanced patients’ healthcare experience.
The technological development potential has also attracted numerous healthcare startups to enter this field. An Xun Da Sheng, established in May 2018, is one such company that leverages technologies like big data and artificial intelligence, dedicated to providing China's leading AI medical imaging products, smart hospital solutions, and smart industrial park solutions.
Among numerous medical fields, An Xun Da Sheng, backed by China United Electric Corporation (CUEC), ultimately chose to build a digital oncology healthcare platform.When asked about the reason, Wang Jinsong, Chairman of An Xun Da Sheng (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., stated, “It is the result of careful consideration.”
First, there is a sufficiently large market space.According to the latest 2020 global cancer burden data released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), China alone recorded 4.57 million new cancer cases in 2020, undoubtedly creating an enormous market for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer patients.
Secondly, the industry is still in its blue ocean stage, offering immense growth potential for enterprises.Digital health platforms in the general practice sector have already entered a phase of intense “red ocean” competition. However, in the more specialized niche of oncology-focused digital health platforms, no single dominant player has yet emerged to monopolize the industry.
The sufficiently large blue-ocean market prompted An Xun Da Sheng to enter this space. Moreover, its strategic partnership with the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, a top-tier hospital in the oncology sector, has further bolstered its confidence in advancing its digital oncology healthcare platform.
Building the Anxi Oncology Digital Health Platform, with “H+H” Dual-Wheel Drive for Business Development

Digital Healthcare Services Market Continues to Grow, Planning to Collaborate with Peers for Mutual Development
In the view of Wang Jinsong, Chairman of An Xun Da Sheng,The digital health market is poised for continued growth.
First, there is policy-level support.Issues such as “minor ailments being treated at major tertiary hospitals,” difficulty in accessing medical care, and high healthcare costs—previously caused by uneven distribution of medical resources and inefficient operations—are being addressed by the state through tiered diagnosis and treatment systems and the vigorous development of new healthcare service models. For instance, various policies promoting the development of internet-based healthcare introduced since 2018, including the Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Promoting the Development of “Internet + Healthcare,” explicitly encourage medical institutions to leverage information technologies such as the internet to expand the scope and content of medical services, thereby establishing an integrated online-offline healthcare service model covering pre-diagnosis, during-diagnosis, and post-diagnosis stages. This aligns precisely with the strategic direction that An Xun Da Sheng (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. is currently aggressively pursuing.
Secondly, there is the development driven by breakthroughs at the technical level.With the practical application of network information technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and 5G, medical scenarios once confined to science fiction—such as online diagnostic consultations and remote surgery—are now becoming a reality. By further grounding these advancements in the fundamental logic of medicine and leveraging digital technologies to genuinely address patient needs, it is possible to facilitate comprehensive management of the entire disease course and the full lifecycle of patients. This approach holds significant meaning and promising prospects for development.
While being optimistic about the development of digital health,An Xun Da Sheng itself has a clear plan for the future.
In terms of financing, An Xun Da Sheng seeks not only financial support but also collaboration with high-quality incubation venture capital firms capable of co-building an internet healthcare ecosystem.With the support of China Electronics, An Xun Da Sheng is currently focused on deeply cultivating its services to further help cancer patients address their challenges, rather than pursuing short-sighted commercial monetization. At present, An Xun Da Sheng has initially established a business framework covering three stages: pre-diagnosis, during diagnosis, and post-diagnosis. In the future, the company aims to further enhance the quality of its related services and seeks deeper collaboration with industry peers.
“We hope that institutions and individuals committed to advancing the field of oncology will reach out to us, so that we can work together with shared vision, common purpose, and concerted action to deliver tangible benefits and meaningful support for physicians and cancer patients,” said Wang Jinsong, Chairman of An Xun Da Sheng (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.
