WeDoctor Launches First Health E-Commerce Platform 'WeDoctor Select', Attracting Bulk Partnerships with Health Institutions

Internet Healthcare “Unicorns” Keep Striding Forward. Recently, VCBeat (WeChat ID: vcbeat) learned that Weiyi has officially launched its own health e-commerce brand, “Weiyi Select,” which is now featured on the homepage of the latest version of the Weiyi App. The first batch of broadly medical and health-related products, rigorously screened, has begun online sales. This marks China’s first true-to-form health e-commerce platform and represents an exploration by the internet healthcare industry into online marketplaces centered around medical and health needs.

Health is an inevitable topic for every individual and household. Particularly against the backdrop of the “Healthy China 2030” initiative and the era of consumption upgrading, demand for medical and healthcare services has grown rapidly. Beyond basic needs such as appointment scheduling, consultations, and health information, big data analysis from the WeDoctor platform reveals a strong and urgent consumer demand for high-quality health products. With the successive launch of offerings like “Health Account” and “Community Assistance,” followed by the recent debut of its curated selection service, WeDoctor’s online service portfolio has expanded from purely medical care to the broader health and wellness sector.

According to reports, Weiyi Select leverages the high-quality medical resources accumulated by Weiyi over many years and adopts a business model combining ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) with Weiyi certification. It provides users with one-stop premium health services, including well-reviewed products such as health foods and medical devices, as well as health check-up and follow-up service packages, to meet consumers’ demands for personalized, high-quality, and convenient healthcare in the context of new consumption upgrades.

Specialized Disease Follow-up Medical Services constitute the core distinguishing feature of WeDoctor Select compared to other e-commerce platforms. The follow-up service packages, which integrate services such as physician consultations, out-of-hospital care, health monitoring, and medication delivery, have been launched as flagship products for users on WeDoctor Select. Their diverse, personalized, and customizable characteristics effectively address the precise matching between patients and physicians as well as treatment challenges. Currently, nearly 2,000 certified high-quality physicians are available on the platform, among whom 659 associate chief physicians or above from Grade A tertiary hospitals have passed screening and activated these follow-up service packages. The WeDoctor Select team will continue to curate and list high-quality service packages from the patient’s perspective.

“WeDoctor’s launch of ‘WeDoctor Select’ at this juncture represents both the manifestation of its strategic upgrade on the product front and a proactive response to users’ health needs,” Zheng Yue, Senior Vice President of WeDoctor, told reporters. “Unlike other e-commerce platforms that have entered the ODM market through general consumer goods categories, WeDoctor Select will leverage the high-quality medical resources accumulated by the WeDoctor platform over the years, supported by big data from its vast user base, to deeply tap into the broader health market.”

According to official data from WeDoctor, as of June this year, the platform has connected with health information systems in 29 provinces and over 2,400 hospitals. More than 7,300 expert teams and 280,000 physicians provide both online and offline services. Currently, WeDoctor has established a robust big data distribution mechanism that generates comprehensive user profiles based on electronic medical records, health archives, and other data. Soon, artificial intelligence will enable continuous monitoring and analysis of users’ health status. This capability will serve as a critical foundation for WeDoctor’s “Strictly Selected” service to deliver precise healthcare solutions to users.

Meanwhile, WeDoctor Select has also become a professional platform that precisely delivers value to users by partnering with leading manufacturers and service providers in the health sector, such as genetic testing companies, insurance firms, fitness organizations, and organic food producers. It is reported that premium flagship products from institutions including Taikuntang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, Meinian Onehealth Healthcare, and Rich Healthcare have already been listed on WeDoctor Select, while several well-known domestic Grade A tertiary hospitals are preparing to launch products and services such as post-consultation care packages.

Healthcare is a low-frequency, essential public need, whereas e-commerce caters to high-frequency consumer demand. In the largely untapped market of health-focused e-commerce, the integration of these two sectors may offer significant growth potential for Weiyi Yanxuan. Additionally, it is reported that Weiyi Yanxuan will serve as a flagship product in Weiyi’s annual “Double 12 Health Festival” this year, creating a nationwide health extravaganza centered on the concept of proactive health.
