WeDoctor and PICC Health Cooperation Ceremony

Currently, the persistently high incidence of chronic diseases and the rising mortality rate in China have increasingly highlighted the importance of medical care, commercial insurance, and health management services. There is an urgent need to integrate industry resources to maximize public health benefits. As a leading practitioner in the field of internet healthcare, WeDoctor is committed to building a national internet-based tiered diagnosis and treatment platform and fostering a virtuous ecosystem of interactive medical services and the health industry. It has successfully connected the information systems of more than 2,400 key hospitals across 29 provinces in China, boasting over 150 million real-name registered users and 260,000 experts from key hospitals. With cumulative patient consultations exceeding 850 million, WeDoctor has rapidly grown into a professional medical service platform and a mobile internet entry point for healthcare services.

In this regard, Song Fuxing, President of PICC Health, who has been deeply engaged in health management services for many years, expressed strong optimism about the prospects of the two parties achieving complementary advantages at the strategic level. At the signing ceremony, he stated that the health insurance service chain is long, risk control is complex, and operational management is challenging. PICC Health has been seeking “higher-level professional expertise and service capabilities to build a health management service chain covering the entire lifecycle.” The strategic cooperation signed between PICC Health and Weiyi will not only provide diversified chronic disease health management services to the general public but also bring new development models and insights to the internet healthcare industry.

Liao Jieyuan, Chairman and CEO of WeDoctor, stated that WeDoctor has deployed over 1,700 front-end servers in hospitals across China and established HIS system connectivity with more than 2,000 hospitals, providing a solid foundation for collaborative partnerships. WeDoctor will leverage the internet to organize medical resources nationwide and internationally, delivering continuous, proactive, and comprehensive medical assistance and health services to the public. The combination of WeDoctor’s health management services and PICC Health’s efficient payment leverage will enable broader access to personalized health protection for the general public.

Furthermore, leveraging their healthcare databases, both parties jointly provide customers with customized health assessments and establish personalized health records. They deliver continuous and proactive primary healthcare services, including video consultations, medication delivery, referral appointments, registration assistance, patient guidance, medical consultations, disease diagnosis and treatment, health interventions, chronic disease follow-up, and rehabilitation management. Additionally, they collaborate on public welfare initiatives for health education and promote healthy behaviors.

This signing marks the deep integration of healthcare services with commercial health insurance, and represents a significant step in the implementation of WeDoctor’s proposed “Chinese-style ACO” model. By integrating high-quality online and offline medical resource assurance systems and promoting services such as family doctor contracts, it aims to help hundreds of millions of Chinese families transition from passive medical care to proactive health management.
