VCBeat has learned that MiaoXun Doctor recently completed an angel financing round worth several million RMB. This round was invested by Donghu Zhonghe Angel Investment, less than 20 days after the launch of the new version of MiaoXun Doctor.

 

As quality of life improves, people are placing greater emphasis on health. During the process of seeking medical care, there is an increasingly strong desire to find the most suitable physician for accurate diagnosis and a clearly defined treatment plan. Currently, patients attempt to meet this need in two primary ways: by inquiring within their social circles, which severely limits the scope of information available; or by searching online, where they encounter issues such as misinformation and content homogenization. Given the inherent professionalism of the medical field, patients struggle to obtain sufficient, reliable information in a short period to support their decision-making, thereby hindering their ability to make well-informed judgments.

 

“Due to information overload and professional barriers, raw information offers limited assistance to patients. By aggregating data, filtering out noise, and reorganizing it into easily understandable content for laypersons, we can support decision-making, truly break down domain barriers, and fully realize the value of knowledge. We are producers of this new value in knowledge,” said Wang Qi, Founder and CEO of MiaoXun Doctor. He explained that MiaoXun Doctor leverages big data mining and artificial intelligence technologies to generate previously unattainable data insights, delivering efficient and precise services that help users find the most suitable medical experts across diverse scenarios.

 

Miaoxun Doctor aims to leverage its philosophy and technology to enhance the patient experience in selecting healthcare providers by an order of magnitude:


1. Always adopt the patient’s perspective. Provide the information patients seek during their medical journey, empowering them to be truly well-informed rather than surrounding them with content curated by others’ agendas.


2. Proprietary Multi-Dimensional Physician Competency Model. Ranks physicians by their competency in specific diseases and intelligently presents them to patients based on diverse query scenarios and conditions.


3. Physician Specializations. MiaoXun Doctors intelligently analyzes physicians’ basic specialization information, research publications, and patient reviews to objectively identify their areas of expertise in specific diseases and provide corresponding competency proportions.


4. Physician Profile. Key physician metrics are tagged and distributed across six value tiers, ranked from high to low. Users can make assessments simply by observing a physician’s position within the profile, without needing to understand the precise meaning of each metric.


5. Separating Truth from Falsehood. Miaoxun Doctor verifies the authenticity of labeled information through a combination of intelligent algorithms and manual review, removing questionable labels from the original data to provide users solely with authentic and authoritative information.

Currently, the Miaoxun Doctor platform has aggregated information on 800,000 physicians from nearly 10,000 Grade III hospitals across China, along with 12 million related academic papers and 5 million patient reviews, providing comprehensive and accurate references for patients’ decision-making. The newly launched Miaoxun Doctor supports multi-channel and multi-method searches to meet patients’ medical consultation needs in various scenarios.

 

Regarding the evaluation of Miaoxun Doctor, Xie Fan, General Manager of Donghu Zhonghe Angels, the lead investor in this round, stated: “Unlike the currently prevalent AI and big data projects, Miaoxun Doctor is closest to real-world usage scenarios while possessing professional technical capabilities. The entire team is experienced and passionate. I greatly appreciate their development strategy that combines lofty ideals with practical goals, which aligns with my investment logic. I am also very pleased to contribute to the mission of ‘restoring integrity and selecting premium doctors.’”

 

Following this round of financing, MiaoXun Doctor will further optimize and enhance its products. Meanwhile, to provide superior services to its extensive user base, MiaoXun Doctor will engage in collaborations with, but not limited to, pharmaceutical companies, physician groups, and hospitals.
