Xuanhu Platform Surpasses 1.5 Million Prescriptions, Becomes China's Most Widely Used 'Cloud-Based TCM Brain'

From October 13 to 16, the 7th Annual Academic Conference of the Information Professional Committee of the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies and the Academic Exchange Conference on Smart Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Services for Human Health were held in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. Zhejiang Lianxin released three major intelligent TCM application platforms developed based on WeDoctor’s Ruiyi Cloud technology: the Xuanhutai Intelligent Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment Cloud Platform 3.0, the Lianxintang TCM Health Service Platform, and the Jiaxing TCM Cloud Platform. These releases drew significant attention from over 1,000 attendees.

Xuanhu Platform is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) application developed based on Ruiyi Cloud’s big data and artificial intelligence technologies. Guided by the core principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, it consolidates the clinical experience of renowned TCM practitioners and classic prescriptions into a cloud-based solution that encompasses disease syndromes, therapeutic methods, constitutional types, formulas, and herb compatibility. Reportedly, the platform has been integrated into more than 300 TCM clinics, achieving full coverage across all 11 prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang Province, with a cumulative total of over 1.5 million prescriptions issued, making it the most widely adopted “Cloud-Based TCM Brain” in China.

The upgraded Xuanhu Platform 3.0 incorporates syndrome differentiation and treatment for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Following constitution identification and analysis, the system automatically recommends prescriptions and similar medical case records. Primary-care TCM practitioners can independently select and modify these recommendations according to clinical needs, thereby achieving specialized diagnosis and treatment for individual diseases. “At least 665 community TCM clinics will adopt this platform in the future, making smart TCM a key driver for comprehensively enhancing primary-care TCM service capacity,” said Wu Jianxi, Deputy Director of the Zhejiang Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, at the conference.

“Xuanhutai serves TCM practitioners, while Lianxintang is another ‘cloud’ of smart TCM health services dedicated to patients,” said Ni Rong, Secretary-General of the Zhejiang Health Information Society and founder of Zhejiang Lianxin, at the conference. Lianxintang efficiently connects doctors, patients, and pharmacies. Through the Lianxintang platform, patients can independently complete constitution assessments, receive online consultations with syndrome differentiation and prescription, purchase medications online, and arrange offline delivery. By integrating appointment slots from 2,400 hospitals and access to over 290,000 physicians on the Weiyi platform, residents can also book appointments at 330 TCM hospitals nationwide and enjoy online TCM services provided by 1,531 TCM practitioners.

As a pioneer in exploring smart Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Zhejiang Province, the Jiaxing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission unveiled the Jiaxing TCM Cloud Platform at the conference. Built upon the open system of the Xuanhu Tai platform, the Jiaxing TCM Cloud integrates the TCM information database with hospital Hospital Information Systems (HIS). It has already covered all TCM hospitals and primary healthcare institutions across the city, facilitating prescription assistance, rational drug use, and TCM knowledge acquisition for primary care TCM practitioners, general practitioners, and Western medicine physicians learning TCM. In an interview, Wang Guofen, Deputy Director of the Jiaxing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission, stated that Jiaxing will next leverage the Municipal TCM Hospital as the lead entity to deploy the Jiaxing TCM Cloud within its TCM Medical Consortium units. This initiative aims to promote the sharing and downward distribution of high-quality TCM resources, laying the foundation for Jiaxing to establish itself as a national demonstration prefecture-level city for Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Ni Rong stated that the clinical modification and prescription experiences from grassroots TCM clinics would also “feed back” into Ruiyi Cloud and Xuanhu Tai, continuously training the system’s intelligence and forming a virtuous cycle of technology, platform, and clinical experience. In the future, specialized disease modules, including Mongolian medicine treatments for thyroid diseases, will be added to comprehensively enhance the diagnosis and treatment capabilities of grassroots TCM for specific diseases, allowing the experience of renowned TCM practitioners and famous prescriptions to be widely inherited.

To promote the intelligent development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) at the primary care level, and following assessment and evaluation by the Zhejiang Provincial Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine Data, the conference awarded the honorary title of “Advanced Collective in the Service Capacity Building Project for TCM Clinical Areas (TCM Halls) in Primary Healthcare Institutions in Zhejiang Province” to the Information Office of the Jiaxing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission, the Health Affairs Management Service Center of the Yiwu Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission, the Information Center of the Ouhai District Health and Family Planning Bureau in Wenzhou, the Shangyu District Health Information Center in Shaoxing, the Mishixiang Street Community Health Service Center in Hangzhou, the Baizhang Street Community Health Service Center in Yinzhou District, Ningbo, the Doumen Town Health Center in Yuecheng District, Shaoxing, and the Information Center of Lishui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Additionally, a number of primary care TCM practitioners, as well as IT and management professionals, were honored with the title of “Advanced Individual.”
