This strategic collaboration will initially focus on the field of tiered diagnosis and treatment for specific vertical disease areas. Both parties are committed to delivering high-quality services to help users preparing for pregnancy efficiently manage their preconception journey, enabling convenient access to medical, health, and lifestyle support at each stage. Furthermore, the partnership aims to provide a precise communication platform for reproductive medicine professionals, fostering academic exchange on disease diagnosis and treatment.

In the future,The collaboration between Haoyunbang and Shandong University Reproductive Hospital will also cover smart hospital development, joint medical project development, establishment of preconception care centers, research data collection and analysis, and co-branded marketing.

At the signing ceremony, Dr. Ma Jinlong, Director of Shandong University Reproductive Hospital, stated, “Through our collaboration with Haoyunbang, we aim to effectively help patients with reproductive disorders enhance their understanding of these conditions, gain rapid access to standardized diagnosis and treatment services, improve their healthcare experience, and achieve successful pregnancies sooner.”

Huang Sen, founder of Haoyunbang, mentioned:HaoYunBang’s upcoming business strategy will focus on solution provision. By integrating the highest-quality domestic medical and health resources, HaoYunBang aims to deliver comprehensive, one-stop, medically-grade, and personalized services to users seeking assistance during their preconception journey.Such medical services, which can vary in depth and complexity, must be provided by hospitals with proper medical qualifications. Since its inception, Haoyunbang has maintained a cautious and politely declining stance toward collaborations with low-end private hospitals of uneven quality. It strictly screens service providers, prioritizing partnerships with reputable public tertiary A-grade hospitals and top-tier joint-stock hospitals.

Shandong University Reproductive Hospital is one of China’s premier reproductive healthcare institutions. Over more than two decades of exploration and practice, it has established a comprehensive, scientific, and advanced system encompassing both basic research and clinical treatment for infertility and sterility in the field of reproductive medicine. Through this medical-network collaboration, the hospital is poised to deliver high-quality diagnostic and therapeutic services to individuals preparing for pregnancy, thereby driving breakthrough improvements in efficiency across the healthcare industry.

Dean Ma Jinlong of Shandong University Reproductive Hospital stated that the hospital has always placed great emphasis on information technology infrastructure, achieving significant results. At Shandong University Reproductive Hospital, patients do not face difficulties in securing appointments, primarily due to two reasons. On one hand, the hospital employs over 100 physicians, ensuring adequate service capacity from medical staff. On the other hand, the hospital does not impose caps on appointment numbers; as long as patients register and book an appointment, they will receive care from a professional physician at the associate chief physician level or above.

This collaboration between Haoyunbang and Shandong University Reproductive Hospital not only allows traditional hospitals to reap the branding benefits of the rapid development of the internet, but also enables emerging mobile healthcare services to establish a tangible offline presence.

Wen Huisheng, Partner at Gene Capital, an investor in Haoyunbang, stated: “The recently released 13th Five-Year Plan, healthcare reform initiatives, and guidelines on tiered diagnosis and treatment all emphasize encouraging Internet Plus Healthcare and telemedicine to deepen reforms. By leveraging the internet as a channel, we aim to improve previous medical consultation processes and truly build a vertical ecosystem in the therapeutic field. Given the high barriers, prolonged course of disease, and need for deep trust between doctors and patients in the reproductive health sector, collaborating with top-tier hospitals through intelligent internet-based disease management systems can provide perfectly complementary services to patients.”

It is understood that Haoyunbang is a mobile health enterprise focused on the field of reproductive medicine, founded in 2014 by Huang Sen, a medical professional from Peking University. Since securing millions in angel investment in 2014, the company has experienced rapid growth. Its highly professional and medically rigorous product design has allowed it to stand out among numerous preconception health products, quickly accumulating a large base of reproductive specialists (primarily physicians from public Grade 3A hospitals) as well as users seeking preconception care, particularly those facing infertility challenges. This has enabled Haoyunbang to emerge as a latecomer leader in the mobile health sector. In October 2015, the company secured tens of millions of RMB in Series A financing, with investors including Gene Capital, Sinopharm Capital, and Puhua Capital.
