WeDoctor Launches First HMO Base in Chengdu, Offering Integrated Smart Healthcare Services
One-click consultation available 24/7, remote consultations via smart infirmaries, one-click prescription pickup, cloud-synchronized health records, and seamless referrals between general and specialty care... 50% of common conditions and health maintenance are managed at home, 35% of disease diagnoses and treatments are handled at nearby medical facilities, and the remaining 15% of complex cases are treated at major hospitals.
WeDoctor’s First HMO Base Launched in Chengdu
On September 8, the “2018 Internet+ Healthcare New Ecosystem Symposium and WeDoctor HMO Base Launch Event,” hosted by the Family Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Society for Health Information and Medical Big Data, was held in Chengdu, Sichuan. The launch of WeDoctor’s first HMO base in Chengdu has turned this new healthcare experience into a reality.
At the press conference, Liao Jieyuan, founder of WeDoctor, described the novel experience that the WeDoctor HMO base brings to primary healthcare institutions, enterprises, families, and individual users. The first WeDoctor HMO base integrates the resources of the WeDoctor platform, offline service facilities, and hardware and software terminal capabilities, enabling users to access efficient, full-lifecycle medical and health services from the comfort of their homes or in nearby communities.
On that day, WeDoctor General Practice (Chengdu Hi-Tech) Center opened as WeDoctor’s fifth general practice center. Serving as the service “hub” of WeDoctor’s HMO base, it directly provides one-stop health management and medical services—including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation—to 500,000 office and business professionals in the Tianfu New City Business District. The center features six specialized service centers: the Remote Consultation Center, General Practice Service Center, Health Promotion Center, Elderly Care Center, Vitality Rehabilitation Center, and Children’s Health Center, capable of covering 100% of health services and 70–80% of medical services.
WeDoctor connects 2,700 general hospitals, 240,000 specialists, and 20,000 pharmacies across China, building a service network that integrates medical care, pharmaceuticals, and health insurance to provide resource support for its General Practice Center service bases. At the grassroots level, WeDoctor’s offline general practice bases leverage smart health terminals to deliver “online + offline” and “general practice + specialty” services to individuals, families, and institutions.
Targeting enterprises, schools, communities, and elderly care institutions, WeDoctor has launched its independently developed “WeDoctor Smart Infirmary,” a “smart healthcare station” designed to support employee health across various organizations. In addition to facilitating online and offline self-service screenings, health consultations, health management, and online medication purchases, the Smart Infirmary provides customized, end-to-end medical and healthcare service plans for enterprise employees.
In October 2017, the intelligent medical terminal “Weiyitong,” released by International Intelligent Healthcare, underwent a comprehensive upgrade. Building on its existing features such as one-click rapid consultation, Weiyitong has added new functionalities covering medical examinations and tests, medication purchase and administration, surgical hospitalization, and rehabilitation management within user consultation scenarios. It has become the “connector” linking the Weiyi platform’s resource network, offline service bases, and home healthcare settings. Currently, more than one million households have adopted Weiyitong as their primary point of access for health and medical services.
Following the launch of the General Practice Center and a series of health ecosystem products, including the Smart Infirmary and Weiyitong, implementation agreements were signed with multiple large-scale institutions. On the day of the launch, AIA China and Sichuan Telecom, among others, respectively entered into cooperation agreements with WeDoctor to engage in strategic collaboration in areas such as WeDoctor’s HMO model, Smart Infirmary, Weiyitong, and healthcare payment solutions.
“AIA is the largest pan-Asian independent listed life insurance group globally, and WeDoctor is a leading medical technology platform. The two parties have established a strategic partnership based on shared objectives. WeDoctor’s comprehensive strengths in medical services, health management, and smart healthcare will deliver entirely new medical and health experiences to AIA’s employees and customers. Both sides will also further deepen the integration of healthcare services with insurance,” said Jiang Limin, Chief Multi-Channel Officer at AIA, in an interview.
On that day, more than 300 leaders from academic societies, government agencies, hospitals, and enterprises—including the Chinese Society of Health Informatics and Medical Big Data, the Sichuan Provincial Healthcare Security Administration, the Sichuan Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital, Sichuan Cancer Hospital, China Telecom Sichuan Branch, AIA China, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China—attended the symposium and the new healthcare experience event.
