DXY and Neurology Committee of CRHA Announce Strategic Partnership to Launch Region-Centric Integrated Platform for Physicians and Patients

VCBeat (WeChat: vcbeat) has learned that on November 17, DXY officially entered into a strategic partnership with the Neurology Professional Committee of the Chinese Association of Research Hospitals (hereinafter referred to as the “Neurology Professional Committee”). By integrating their respective advantageous resources and leveraging the “One City, One Doctor” model, the two parties will establish a comprehensive, integrated platform capable of supporting multi-tier physician education, professional peer-to-peer interaction, doctor-patient engagement, and patient management, thereby creating sustainable, high-quality value for both physicians and patients.

Professor Wu Shiwen, Deputy Chairman and Secretary-General of the Neuroscience Committee, and Zhang Wei, Vice President of DXY and Head of the Corporate Cooperation Division, attended the strategic cooperation launch event on behalf of their respective teams. Meanwhile, this collaboration has garnered widespread attention from the industry, with multiple expert representatives from relevant disease fields also attending and participating in the launch ceremony.

In recent years, neurological disorders have garnered increasing attention. However, due to the uneven distribution of medical resources in China, there remains significant room for improvement and substantial demand among both physicians and patients regarding their understanding of nervous system diseases. Particularly in western regions, preliminary disease-related surveys have highlighted a pressing need for enhanced professional education and improved doctor-patient services related to neurological disorders.

The “One City, One Doctor” initiative was launched against this backdrop. The core original intention of this project is to establish a nationwide system based onRegion-Centric Physician and Patient Service Model. By channeling high-quality medical resources, represented by top-tier experts, down to the grassroots level, we aim to effectively empower both patients and healthcare providers.

On October 22, 2016, DXY and the Neuroscience Special Committee jointly launched an initial collaboration. Using rare diseases as an entry point, they provided free training to establish multidisciplinary teams for the diagnosis and treatment of various rare diseases at tertiary Grade A hospitals at the municipal level and above across China. This initiative aimed to promote the formation of national rare disease research teams, establish special research funds for individual diseases, and comprehensively enhance the overall clinical diagnosis and treatment capabilities for rare diseases in China.

Currently, both parties have jointly established a comprehensive online platform that integrates multiple application terminals and supports professional exchanges such as physician education and interaction. This platform has been integrated with the society’s offline conference activities, specifically the “Neurology Time” branded series. Through more than 50 offline conferences initiated by the society and nearly 100 online professional training courses, an efficient and convenient learning and exchange platform has been built for physicians at all levels, particularly those in primary care settings. As the project progresses smoothly, both parties are keen to deepen their strategic cooperation, integrate high-quality resources, and establish a smart healthcare system and neurological disease management system with greater comprehensive value.

At the press conference, Professor Wu Shiwen, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Neuroscience Committee, stated, “Mobile health demonstrates significant advantages in the training, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disorders. Open online education platforms can effectively alleviate the shortage of medical specialists. We hope that the ‘One City, One Doctor’ model will facilitate case collection, follow-up, and collaborative research, thereby advancing academic development in neurology and innovating regional management models.”

As planned, DXY will provide an integrated doctor-patient support system for the partnership, encompassing physician education, peer-to-peer interaction, doctor-patient engagement, and patient management. Specifically, both parties will jointly offer comprehensive education on neurological disorders and professional support tools to empower physicians in delivering patient care. They will also provide healthcare institutions with a holistic development framework covering clinical treatment and departmental management, thereby maximizing physicians’ professional value and impact. Building on this foundation, the integration of online and offline resources will be optimized to deliver sustainable, high-quality value to both physicians and patients through innovative models.

Zhang Wei, Vice President of DXY and Head of the Corporate Cooperation Division, expressed high expectations for this strategic partnership. He stated, “The ‘One City, One Doctor’ model is a positive initiative that aligns with the national strategy for tiered diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, with the advancement of internet and artificial intelligence technologies, we now have a historic opportunity to further support the implementation of national policies and benefit both doctors and patients through innovative models.”

As a comprehensive platform serving both physicians and patients, DXY has the responsibility and capability to join forces with the Neuroscience Professional Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association to provide high-quality support and services to doctors and patients in China’s neurology field. In this process, both parties will further uphold the cooperative philosophy of openness and mutual benefit, inviting more industry experts, institutions, and enterprises to participate jointly, thereby creating greater value together.

Furthermore, Professor Wu Shiwen noted that 26 institutions have been approved to join the “One City, One Physician” collaborative network, working together on professional education, doctor-patient engagement, and research collaboration. Building on this foundation, partners will continue to strengthen online-offline integration, attract more physicians and target patients into the program, introduce additional intelligent assistive devices and artificial intelligence partners, and conduct more valuable clinical studies, gradually transforming the “One City, One Physician” initiative into a comprehensive ecosystem for chronic disease management in neurology.
