Jiankang Sichuan: China's First Provincial-Level Health Service Cloud Platform Files IPO Prospectus

“Healthy Sichuan” is a cloud-based healthcare service platform built on cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile internet technologies. It is regulated by the Sichuan Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission and operated by the Provincial Health and Family Planning Information Center. Adhering to the medical philosophy of “public welfare service, inclusiveness, openness, and collaborative win-win,” the platform leverages information technology to integrate healthcare resources across the province, focusing on addressing key challenges in accessing medical care and fully promoting “healthcare information for public benefit.” It represents a significant initiative by Sichuan Province to advance the “Internet + Healthcare” model.

Compared with other internet hospital projects, Healthy Sichuan is China’s first provincial-level medical and health cloud platform, advancing steadily amidst the rapid and aggressive expansion of internet healthcare initiatives. Currently, its core business encompasses convenient medical services for the public, “Ba-Shu Kuai Yi,” and online medical care.

“Healthy Sichuan” aggregates high-quality medical resources across the province and serves as the unified portal for family telemedicine in Sichuan Province. It provides the public with healthcare services such as medical care navigation, appointment registration, online payment, report inquiry, online consultation, remote outpatient services, remote consultations, and health management. The platform is committed to building an online medical and health service ecosystem that covers the entire human life cycle, the full process of medical services, and all formats of health products.

In October 2014, the “Healthy Sichuan” platform was officially launched. To date, it has onboarded more than 20,000 physicians from over 400 public hospitals, providing users with more than 100,000 appointment slots daily across all 7,729 disease-specific departments. Furthermore, Healthy Sichuan has achieved integration with the Sichuan Provincial Population Health Information Platform, the Electronic Health Record System, and the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) Information System, importing 40 million health records and 70 million NRCMS records to provide query services to the public.

"Through mobile applications such as the app and WeChat official account, users can enjoy one-stop, full-process companion services—including appointment registration, reminders, payment, report delivery, and consultations—across pre-consultation, during-consultation, and post-consultation stages via the platform."

“Bashu Kuaiyi” is a new model of health and medical services built on the “Healthy Sichuan” platform, with family contract doctors as the core, community health service centers as the hub, and large medical institutions as the support.Adhering to the design philosophy of “people-centric resource matching,” we have established a new model featuring one-click public appointment booking, precise matching of medical resources, and online-offline interaction between doctors and patients. This model provides services such as health consultations, intelligent triage, online pre-diagnosis, remote monitoring, and home visits to meet the public’s need for convenient access to medical care.

Pilot programs were launched in Chengdu, Deyang, and Mianyang starting last November, initially focusing on health management services for chronic diseases and maternal and child health. These services include online lightweight consultations, contracted family doctor consultations, home-based health management, and home sample collection for laboratory testing.

To date, more than 3,000 physicians have joined the platform. These physicians will offer a variety of services, including paid consultations and value-added fee-based services. Examples include personalized healthcare service packages featuring home health examinations, personal health management, and electronic prescriptions with medication delivery. Additionally, the platform opens its medical resources to third-party companies providing healthcare-related services, allowing them to join the platform and help build an internet healthcare ecosystem.

It is understood that “Healthy Sichuan” has primarily launched two main products and services in the online healthcare sector: an Internet-based Women’s and Children’s Hospital and remote cardiology outpatient consultations.

“Sichuan Internet Women’s and Children’s Hospital” is an O2O healthcare product built on the foundation of Sichuan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Sichuan Women’s and Children’s Hospital), centered on the “Healthy Sichuan” cloud platform, and fully leveraging internet technologies. It covers the entire workflow across pre-consultation, during-consultation, and post-consultation stages, integrating medical services, maternal and child healthcare, pharmaceutical services, and third-party health management services.

Currently, one hundred physicians certified by the National Health and Family Planning Commission and issued with electronic signature (CA) certificates—including 21 experts holding the title of associate professor or above—are providing public services at the “Sichuan Internet Women’s and Children’s Hospital.” Through this internet hospital platform, the public can access a range of authoritative and professional healthcare services, including pre-consultation triage, medical consultations, online outpatient care (e-prescriptions and medication delivery), planned immunization services, and post-diagnosis follow-up.

“Remote Cardiology Outpatient Clinic” is a new model of multi-tiered internet-based medical services linking hospitals at different levels and patients, developed through the collaboration of “Healthy Sichuan,” Yibin First People’s Hospital, and its Medical Consortium, and built upon the “Healthy Sichuan” cloud platform. Accompanied by primary care physicians, patients initiate consultations with specialists at higher-level hospitals. These experts provide real-time diagnosis and treatment based on patient data, issue online diagnostic reports, and recommend corresponding treatment plans, while lower-level medical institutions deliver offline clinical services. This approach achieves seamless integration of tiered diagnosis and treatment, two-way referrals, and other medical practices within the Medical Consortium.

Since the launch of internet-based remote cardiology diagnostic services in Yibin City last year, nearly 10,000 patients have received specialized cardiological care, including remote electrocardiogram (ECG) examinations and monitoring-based diagnoses. The service network covers 17 county-level hospitals and 121 township health centers, establishing a coordinated four-tier medical service system spanning provincial, municipal, county, and township levels. Preliminary estimates indicate that the initiative has directly saved more than RMB 8 million in medical expenditures and indirectly reduced social costs by over RMB 10 million.

In the future, adhering to its mission of providing public welfare health services, “Healthy Sichuan” will leverage the three-tiered provincial, municipal, and county population health information platforms to build a more comprehensive cloud-based healthcare service platform that fully integrates medical care, health insurance, and pharmaceutical information. Meanwhile, it will conduct in-depth big data mining, analysis, and application in the healthcare sector to provide the public with personalized, convenient, and precise health services.
