JD Health and GSK to Expand Cooperation
by Hui Zhang
Global pharmaceutical leader GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) announced plans to expand cooperation on consumer healthcare with JD Health on April 19, in the areas of technology, product and services.
“The health industry is not only a fast-growing industry, but also related to the dignity and quality of life of every person,” said Lijun Xin, CEO of JD Health. “Through this cooperation, JD Health will join hands with GSK Consumer Healthcare to continue promoting public healthcare management and providing one-stop solutions for consumers.”
Through the cooperation, GSK will create a variety of customized products for JD Health, which will also be the first platform in China to sell them, thus further enriching healthcare product categories on JD Health. In return, JD Health will leverage its own platform resources and supply chain capabilities to shorten the transaction process between products and consumers, and assist GSK’s consumer healthcare products’ sales online.
Susan Gu, greater China general manager at GSK Consumer Healthcare, said GSK has witnessed the tremendous impact of digitalization on the healthcare ecosystem in recent years. “The scenarios and channels through which consumers access healthcare services are undergoing a profound digital transformation,” Gu said. “The pandemic has not only accelerated the process, but has also raised national health awareness like never before, making consumers more focused on long-term health management.”
As a research-driven pharmaceutical and healthcare company, GSK Consumer Healthcare is fully engaged in digital healthcare development, Gu added.
“This in-depth collaboration with JD Health is an important step in our digital transformation process. We hope that by joining forces with JD Health, we can work together to build a digital, sustainable health ecosystem that will help achieve our vision of providing innovative health solutions to every Chinese consumer to help them improve their quality of life.”
It’s not the first time for JD Health and GSK to deepen bilateral cooperation. The two companies signed a memorandum last year to deepen collaboration on vaccinations. The two sides will explore new vaccination supply and service solutions based on the strength of the Internet and other technologies to provide premium and safe vaccinations, and make them accessible to a wider range of people in China.
GSK is a science-led global healthcare company. The company researches, develops and manufactures a wide range of medicines, vaccines and consumer healthcare products.

JD Health Enhances Eldercare Services with Key Partnerships at Beijing Conference
On March 12th, JD Health held its fourth annual Partner Conference, coinciding with the Eldercare Consumption Summit in Beijing. The event attracted over 400 attendees, including eldercare specialists and industry representatives, and focused on developing a healthcare system that is both inclusive and adaptable, catering specifically to the dynamic needs of China’s aging population.
During the summit, JD Health established partnership agreements with ten industry-leading brands, including 3M, Cofoe, Yuwell, Haier, Innuovo, ITD GmbH, LePu Medical, Mateside, Omron, and Sonova. The partnerships also marked the establishment of the “Eldercare Brand Alliance,” dedicated to propelling innovation in eldercare services and products, ultimately improving the quality of life for senior citizens through collective efforts.
Jin Enlin, CEO of JD Health, highlighted the company’s commitment to leveraging collaborative resources to scale, standardize, and strengthen recognizable brands within the burgeoning silver economy. This strategic approach is poised to deliver unparalleled care and support to the elderly.
As China’s premier online health platform, JD Health offers a diverse range of over 30,000 brands and numerous subcategories in eldercare. Its expansive offerings cover various needs, from mobility aids to in-home care solutions, emphasizing a professional and user-centric ecosystem for eldercare products and services.
In January, JD Health launched a dedicated eldercare channel to provide a wide selection of products and services specifically designed for the elderly. The channel facilitates everything from the installation of nursing beds and at-home hearing aid services to 24/7 specialized online customer support, aiming to close the gap between professional healthcare services and the elderly community.
JD Health has also effectively integrated its online and offline services to establish a comprehensive eldercare service system. This includes setting up hearing centers and offering services such as medical escorting and quick home check-ups, enhancing the overall accessibility of eldercare.
With nearly 300 million people aged 60 and above, China’s silver economy is expanding rapidly. JD Health remains dedicated to serving this demographic, continuously working to improve the quality of life for senior citizens nationwide.

JD Health Launches Comprehensive Elderly Care Channel, Delivering Online Health Solutions for China’s Aging Population
JD Health has recently unveiled an elderly care channel on its app, aiming to establish a comprehensive platform catering to various healthcare needs for China’s aging population. This initiative is integral to JD Health’s goal of becoming the first portal for online health consumption.
The specialized channel is designed to offer a broad range of services, addressing eight critical aspects of elderly care. These include health monitoring equipment, daily living and nursing, assistance products for mobility and personal care, physiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatments, smart technology products tailored for the elderly, nutritional supplements and foods, medications for chronic illnesses, and home-visiting nursing care. This comprehensive approach reflects JD Health’s commitment to meeting the multifaceted needs of the elderly community.
A cornerstone of this initiative is the integration of JD Health’s “Family Doctor” program within the elderly care channel. This innovative program offers 24/7 health consultations, year-round health monitoring, and personalized advice for managing health and wellness.
JD Health has gone a step further to ensure usability and accessibility for senior citizens by offering services such as doorstep installation of nursing beds and hearing aid fittings, ensuring that the challenges often faced by the elderly in using these products are comprehensively addressed.
The launch of the elderly care channel coincides with the approaching Chinese New Year, a time when tradition encourages showing respect and love to parents and the elderly.
In response to JD’s recent initiative promoting the distribution of essential goods to underprivileged areas, Xiao Le, a Gen Z user of JD’s app expressed a wish in JD’s app to provide respiratory relief products to a nursing home on the outskirts of Beijing, a place where she had volunteered previously. JD Health promptly teamed up with brands and charity organizations, donating over 1,000 pieces of nebulizers, oxygen concentrators, ventilators, blood pressure monitors, blood oximeters, heating patches, “JD Family Doctor” smart speakers, and other health supplies, as well as mobile phones for the elderly at the nursing home.
According to 2022 statistics from China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs, the country’s population aged 60 and above has reached 280 million, with 90% of the elderly preferring home care. This represents a significant opportunity within the silver economy, one that JD Health is strategically positioned to lead and serve.
