DHIC Files IPO Prospectus to Advance Digital Innovation in China's Healthcare Industry Through Strategic Partnerships with CEC Digital Finance and VB Insights

Driven by the maturity of technologies such as cloud computing, big data, smart terminals, and bandwidth upgrades, the development of the Industrial Internet has made the connectivity between “people and products” and “people and services” infinitely possible. The broader health industry is undergoing transformation and reshaping, with digital innovation serving as the primary driver of industry change and connectivity acting as the catalyst for its exponential growth.

On December 18, 2018, the Digital Health Innovation Center (DHIC), with a mission to connect industries and co-create the future, held its strategic cooperation launch event at the Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel. Building on existing strategic support from Tencent and Tasly, DHIC signed cooperation agreements with VCBeat, a leading media outlet in the healthcare industry, and CEC Digital Finance, a capital link within the China Electronics Corporation (CEC) Data ecosystem. In the future, DHIC will work hand in hand with its strategic partners to build an open platform that fosters industrial connectivity and empowers the sector, thereby facilitating digital innovation in the broader health industry.

At the press conference, Liu Wei, Director of DHIC, introduced the center’s current status. He stated that DHIC serves as a connector and organizer for digital innovation in the big health industry, guided by the principles of equality, sharing, and innovation. With user needs at its core and service delivery as its starting point, DHIC will leverage two major products, four key capabilities, five high-traffic entry points, and six connection methods to strengthen industry exchange and cooperation, generate and share topical discussions, and advance the alignment of high-end resources in the big health sector as well as the development of an integrated, closed-loop service system. Together, we aim to build an open platform for digital innovation that fosters industrial connectivity and empowers the industry.

Currently, the healthcare industry faces numerous pain points: insufficient supply of innovative products and services fails to meet diverse market demands; companies rely on limited customer acquisition channels with high costs, exhibit inadequate customer service capabilities, and suffer from significant customer churn; online and offline traffic streams remain unintegrated, monetization models are unclear, and a natural gap persists between massive traffic entry points and enterprises’ customer acquisition needs; there is a lack of effective strategies to convert customers into users and then into lifelong users, coupled with deficient data operations and management capabilities, failing to achieve interconnectivity of data across all stages.

Addressing the aforementioned industry pain points, DHIC serves as a connector for digital innovation in the broader health sector. Focusing on industry connectivity through a decentralized approach, DHIC empowers partners with four core capabilities: technical support, traffic and data resources, resource integration, and capital matchmaking. This facilitates precise alignment of enterprise products and services with massive traffic entry points, driving exponential business growth. By establishing a user-centric closed loop of products and services, DHIC aims to build an open, shared, innovative, and inclusive digital innovation ecosystem for the broader health industry.

DHIC, supported by its four strategic partners—Tencent, Tasly, VCBeat, and CEC Digital Finance—provides the industry with four core capabilities: technological innovation, traffic data, resource integration, and capital matchmaking, as well as five major traffic entry points: WeChat City Services, WeChat Scan Code, online malls, offline stores, and partner channels.

Tencent’s strategic goal of “Connecting Everything” aligns closely with DHIC’s development vision, and Tencent will inject strong momentum into DHIC through traffic entry points, technical support, and other areas. Tasly has identified three key directions for development—precision R&D, intelligent manufacturing, and smart health—and will provide DHIC with robust industry resources and capital support. As a recorder and observer of the medical and health industry, VCBeat will primarily channel industry resources, research insights, and professional networks into DHIC to facilitate digital innovation in the broader health sector. CEC Digital Finance will fully leverage the advantages of the CEC Data Health Medical Big Data national team, providing strong support and credible endorsement for DHIC in data empowerment.

With the support of its four strategic partners, DHIC will continuously reinforce its core positioning as a “connector.” By leveraging six engagement mechanisms—strategic partner collaborations, government liaison, executive roundtables, mobile classrooms, health exhibition weeks, and regular industry exchanges—DHIC will extensively support the growth of industry peers. Through the continuous creation and sharing of topical content, DHIC aims to achieve broad online-to-offline connectivity, strengthen intra-industry interaction and cross-sector integration, keep pace with the trends in digital innovation, and empower its industry partners in their digital transformation and innovative development.

In the future, DHIC will engage in broader and more frequent connections with the industry, continuously producing and sharing high-quality industry insights. Serving as a connector for digital innovation in the broader healthcare sector, DHIC will collaborate with industry partners to co-create a promising future for the health and wellness industry.
