Weimai Showcases Internet+ Healthcare Innovations at CHINC 2020 Amid IPO Filing

From August 21 to 23, the 2020 China Hospital Information Network Conference (CHINC) was grandly held at the Nanjing International Exhibition Center. Weimai was once again invited to participate in this event. Focusing on the two major themes of construction and operation of internet hospitals, Weimai showcased its dedicated development and continuous innovation in the field of internet healthcare over the past five years through zone-based displays, offering attendees a unique “Internet + Healthcare” experience.

From in-depth engagement in the internet healthcare sector, to innovative practices in specialized health services, and significant contributions to technology-driven epidemic prevention, Weimai’s various exhibition booths remained consistently crowded, with a steady stream of visitors.

The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 posed a significant challenge to China’s healthcare industry, while also accelerating the digital transformation of public hospitals into internet hospitals. However, in the aftermath of the surge in internet hospital development, how to truly empower hospitals through “Internet+” initiatives and guide patients toward adopting new healthcare-seeking habits remains a critical challenge that many hospitals still need to address.

Dedicated to serving public hospitals, Weimai presented a highly practical, localized one-stop solution to conference attendees, building on its foundation of local physical hospital operations. Leveraging professional operational capabilities and internet technology applications, Weimai has efficiently established full-cycle, refined management and operational service platforms for over 1,000 hospitals across China. By combining these platforms with Weimai’s localized professional operations teams, the company helps public hospitals achieve“From in-hospital to out-of-hospital, from offline to online, from single-visit to cyclical care, from random to personalized”a series of service innovations and transformations.

Integrated maternity care, abortion care, child health management, home-based medical and nursing services, physical examination centers, weight management, cervical health care, postpartum care centers… Transitioning from “Cure” to broader “Care,” Weimai’s one-stop internet hospital solution is not only helping public hospitals rapidly respond to national policies and enhance and innovate in-hospital medical and health services, but also gaining increasing attention and acclaim from hospitals across China.

Over the three-day exhibition, key representatives from Weimai’s four major business centers took turns presenting, offering clear and accessible insights into the company’s strategic approach to building its internet hospital and its innovative operational models. Hospital delegations from across China visited the Weimai booth to attend these presentations and engage in in-depth discussions with the respective business leaders.

Public hospitals, which are perennially busy and overcrowded, often struggle to track patients’ out-of-hospital health status and follow-up treatment outcomes, facing high rates of patient attrition outside the hospital and low service satisfaction. Weimai’s professional medical team continuously identifies patients’ latent health management needs,and pioneered precise, in-depth localized operations as the first company nationwide, with simultaneous deployment across the patient-facing, physician-facing, and department-facing platforms, helping hospitals build trust and connectivity between doctors and patients, and achieving optimized integration of in-hospital and social traffic.

From “Refined Full-Path Management of ‘Internet+’ Maternal and Child Health Services” to “Lean Management of ‘Internet+’ Extended Services for Single Diseases,” and from “Application and Practice of Integrated Online-Offline Internet Hospitals” to “Upgrading and Innovation of Specialty Services Based on Data Intelligence Assistance,” Weimai’s hands-on operational practices—often lacking among other on-site exhibitors—drew many hospital IT managers to stop and listen.

On the morning of the 23rd, Yang Leigang, General Manager of Weimai’s Maternal and Child Health Center, delivered a keynote speech titled “Hospital-Enterprise Collaboration | Providing Professional and Compassionate Care for Patients” at the Host Forum. He introduced how Weimai empowers hospitals and benefits patients through refined, full-course disease management service pathways, earning unanimous acclaim from the attendees.

Yang Leigang stated that in the post-pandemic era, domestic hospitals are simultaneously grappling with multiple pressures, including strained government funding, cost-containment measures by medical insurance programs, sluggish revenue growth, and the public’s urgent demand for greater convenience.Weimai’s differentiated, multi-tiered SLA-based service system, co-developed with hospitals, is designed to provide patients with a rich array of innovative medical services grounded in specialty-specific diseases and clinical pathways, from the perspective of healthcare supply.Thereby achieving the goals of expanding in-hospital service offerings, improving the quality of hospital services, and alleviating the current challenges faced by hospitals.

He believes that the current opportunity for innovation in “Internet + Healthcare” lies in shifting our mindset: we should start from patients’ true needs, deliver valuable services in a timely and precise manner, and focus on the practical implementation and operations of “Internet + Healthcare” to truly achieve success."Bringing Healthcare Services Home with Patients"。

At this year’s CHINC, the mid-term seminar for the research project “Survey on the Current Status of Operations and Management of Internet Hospitals Nationwide and Talent Development,” hosted by the Hospital Management Institute of the National Health Commission and exclusively supported and implemented by Weimai, was held in full swing. More than 100 attendees, including administrators from well-known public hospitals, heads of internet hospital offices, and health IT professionals across China, participated in the conference to continue exploring sustainable operational and management systems for internet hospitals.

At the symposium, hospitals such as Taizhou Enze Medical Center (Group) cited practical cases of collaborating with Weimai to co-build departments and deliver multi-tiered service level agreements (SLAs). Dr. Fang Xiangming from the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University also commended Weimai for its innovations in the “Internet + Healthcare” sector.
