Diaoding Technology Secures Tens of Millions of RMB in Series A Funding to Advance Intelligent and Digital Solutions for Health Screening Centers

VCBeat (WeChat ID: vcbeat) recently learned that Beijing T+D Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “T+D”) has announced the completion of its Series A financing round, amounting to tens of millions of yuan.Solely invested by CoWin Ventures, the proceeds from the financing will be primarily used to increase R&D investment in the intelligence and digitalization of physical examination centers (health management centers), strengthen the delivery service team to enhance customer experience, and provide a comprehensive information technology solution for the operational management of more public hospitals and private physical examination institutions through a “local deployment + SaaS” model, thereby facilitating the transformation toward smart hospitals.

For receiving investment recognition from CoWin Ventures,T+D Chairman Deng Tanzhou“He stated, ‘Our philosophy aligns with that of CoWin Ventures. We both aim to leverage technology to empower limited medical resources, enabling more people to access high-quality healthcare and creating value for society.’”

Previously, T+D completed its angel round and Pre-A round of financing in 2017 and 2018, respectively, with investments from angel investors and Leiyu Capital.

T+D is a national high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, marketing, and services, dedicated to providing the most professional smart informatization solutions for hospital health management (physical examination) centers. The company’s Physical Examination Center Collaboration Platform includes medical informatization products such as an appointment scheduling system, intelligent patient guidance system, informatization management system, post-examination management system, physical examination business process management solutions, and corporate health management solutions.

Among these, the AI-powered intelligent health checkup guidance system has been deployed in over 300 hospitals across China. Leveraging advanced AI-guidance algorithms and real-time big data computing, the system provides end-to-end intelligent guidance for all departments, enabling customers to complete their health checkups efficiently via optimized pathways.

After graduating from Chongqing University in 1999, Deng Tanzhou, founder of T+D (Beijing Tiaoding Technology Co., Ltd.), embarked on successive entrepreneurial ventures across multiple sectors, including information security, education, and finance. Upon establishing T+D, he gradually focused on the healthcare sector. Regarding the decision to specialize in healthcare, Deng candidly explained that, drawing on his prior success in developing a bank queue management system that captured the mainstream market and set industry standards, T+D leveraged the core principles of that system to target hospital-based health examination centers by developing an AI-powered intelligent patient guidance system. “Although queue management systems have broad applicability across many scenarios, we recognized early in our startup journey that patient flow in hospital health examination centers is particularly complex, with each examination order involving dozens of departments. Moreover, the industry lacked a comprehensive, end-to-end intelligent patient guidance system.”

Pain Points Faced by Health Checkup Centers

In hospital health checkup centers, different vendors’ software systems are commonly used across the pre-examination, intra-examination, and post-examination stages. Data interoperability between these disparate systems is difficult to achieve, and any failure in the checkup software can lead to severe consequences, including complete operational shutdown of the center. Furthermore, software vendors struggle to provide customized solutions to meet the checkup centers’ scalability needs, such as customer service systems, marketing management functionalities, and quality control data analytics.

To address these pain points, T+D has recruited a large number of top-tier R&D engineers from the industry, ensuring that its products are designed from the outset to be simple and efficient to operate, intelligent in computation, open in data, and flexible in functionality. By integrating multiple platforms into a scalable architecture that enables cross-system operations, the products achieve seamless performance in both functional implementation and system integration.

“Only by excelling in product R&D can subsequent maintenance costs be reduced. T+D is continuously exploring data standardization; only through standardized data processing can future value be realized,” said Deng Tanzhou, founder of T+D. “We strive to stay ahead of our clients’ needs, aiming not merely to meet demands but to create them.”

T+D began by addressing the most critical phase of the health examination process—the examination itself—and developed the “Full-Process AI Intelligent Examination Guidance System.” This flagship product, launched since the company’s inception, serves as T+D’s entry point into the health management industry.

Full-Process AI-Powered Intelligent Examination Guidance System

This system guides health checkup participants to scientifically and rationally assigned departments for examination services, alleviating the dilemma of department selection and reducing anxiety caused by unfair queuing. By minimizing the need for manual guidance, it ensures a more comfortable experience for participants. The system monitors patient flow data in real time throughout the entire process, autonomously adjusts triage, and enables traceability of the examination process, thereby achieving intelligent management of health checkup workflows.

Advantages of the Full-Process AI-Powered Intelligent Patient Guidance System

In addition to its end-to-end AI-powered intelligent examination guidance system, T+D has also developed a Health Checkup Center Collaboration Platform, a flagship product launched by the company this year.

Integrated Health Examination Collaboration Platform is an intelligent health examination software built on B/S and C/S architectures. By enabling tripartite linkage and information interconnectivity among the hospital side, enterprise side, and user side, it ensures a smoother health examination process. Building upon traditional business workflows, the platform integrates the advantages of mobile internet and smart hardware, incorporating intelligent features such as corporate health examination management, online appointment scheduling, questionnaire assessments, facial recognition self-service kiosks, intelligent patient guidance, and smart reporting. These innovations significantly reduce the workload of health examination centers, improve operational efficiency, lower operating costs, and greatly enhance the user experience.

Furthermore, the BI analytics system built by T+D for the health checkup center has further optimized its management. The launch of the Health Checkup Center Collaboration Platform marks a crucial step in T+D’s transition from a single-product provider to a diversified product portfolio.

By independently developing a full-process AI-powered intelligent examination guidance system and an integrated health checkup collaboration platform, T+D has achieved seamless connectivity across the pre-examination, intra-examination, and post-examination stages. The company provides healthcare institutions with a smart medical solution based on a localized deployment plus SaaS model that leverages traffic value. By empowering these institutions with advanced technology and delivering high-quality third-party services, T+D helps them enhance operational management and maximize customer value.

Currently, these products have garnered positive reviews and acclaim from over 300 existing clients, 60% of which are public tertiary hospitals. In the future, the company is committed to becoming the preferred partner for health checkup institutions in their transition toward smart healthcare. It will continue to increase intelligent R&D investments in the broader health sector, integrate more high-quality service providers onto its existing collaboration platform, and build an internet ecosystem platform for the health checkup field, thereby facilitating industrial upgrading within the industry.

Regarding the investment in T+D,Wen Gang, Partner at CoWin VenturesIt is reported that as living standards in China improve and awareness of the importance of health deepens, over 400 million people undergo routine health examinations annually. Currently, the thousands of institutions providing these services to hundreds of millions of individuals generally demonstrate strong professionalism in medical testing. However, many still rely on software tools designed around concepts from two decades ago. These outdated systems fail to meet contemporary demands in terms of management philosophy, underlying architecture, internet integration, and user experience, thereby falling short in addressing the needs of health examination centers’ management practices, examinees’ expectations, and healthcare professionals’ requirements for convenience, collaboration, and efficiency. Consequently, a significant number of center directors remain dissatisfied with the managerial effectiveness and cost structures of their operations.

T+D was the first to identify user needs in this field and developed corresponding software and platforms tailored to the specific characteristics of the health checkup industry. These solutions significantly enhance the operational efficiency of health checkup institutions, optimize management resources, improve customer satisfaction, and make the work of medical staff simpler and more enjoyable. The widespread adoption of this software and platform will inevitably yield positive outcomes for the health checkup and health management industries, ultimately benefiting the health of hundreds of millions of people. We believe that T+D possesses a deep understanding of the health checkup industry, excels in conducting patient, long-term research to grasp customer needs, and leverages cutting-edge internet and artificial intelligence technologies to deliver reliable products that meet those needs. Therefore, CoWin Ventures is optimistic about T+D’s long-term development and has made an exclusive investment in this round, aiming to partner with T+D for sustained growth over the long term.
