Annual Internet Healthcare Heroes Awards Launch: Nominations Open for 2016 Internet Healthcare Annual List
Many have heard the sound of the massive, entrenched healthcare system’s glacier beginning to thaw.
Initially, this voice came from across the ocean.
In December 2014, VCBeat compiled and translated the 2014 Global Digital Health Startup Investment and Financing Report released by Startup Health, a renowned U.S. digital health startup accelerator. The report showed that disclosed venture capital funding for digital health startups reached $6.5 billion in 2014, representing an increase compared to 2013.125%。
In a corresponding trend, VCBeat found that the Chinese internet healthcare venture capital sector, which had previously been lukewarm, saw 103 financing deals in 2014, with disclosed funding totaling USD 1.4179 billion. This figure represents that of 2013's7several times more.
In 2015, financing for China’s internet healthcare sector continued to surge.
Excluding several major equity cases in 2014, the financing volume in the first half of 2015 had already surpassed the total for the entire year of 2014. In the second half of 2015, WeDoctor Group (formerly Guahaowang) successfully secured $300 million in financing, setting a new record for the largest single round of funding in China’s internet healthcare sector.
“More and more people are saying that the healthcare sector will be the next breeding ground for BAT-sized giants.”
Of course, debates continue to reverberate powerfully in this remarkable field.
Whether it was the industry uproar triggered by the article “On the Fall of Chunyu Doctor,” the forum dialogue in which participants interrupted each other 18 times, or the successive favorable policies rolled out by the state, institutions, enterprises, and individuals across the healthcare industry chain—including hospitals, physicians, pharmaceutical companies, insurance firms, and government bodies—remain engaged in ongoing debate...
In an era transformed by the internet, a new future for the healthcare sector has inevitably arrived.

As a major transformation unfolds, every link in the healthcare chain has been swept into the tide. Hundreds of thousands of physicians have been forcibly thrust into the digital world, giving rise to a surge of new perspectives, pathways, methodologies, and business models.
As a great transformation unfolds, heroes unafraid of challenging times always rise to the forefront, seeking their own opportunities amidst the surging waves. This is why patient-physician communities, appointment registration and triage services, in-consultation tools, post-consultation follow-ups, rehabilitation and physical therapy, pharmaceutical e-commerce, and physician groups continue to emerge in endless succession.
