JD Health Launches Online Clinical Trial Patient Recruitment Center
by Hui Zhang
JD Health announced to partner with Contract Research Organization (CRO) and other pharmaceutical companies on Wednesday (June 10) in Beijing to launch an online clinical trial patient recruitment center to further accelerate the process of new drugs approving and marketing, and make it convenient for patients to find clinical trial projects online both quickly and precisely.
CRO is an organization contracted by companies to take the lead in managing each company’s trials and complex medical testing responsibilities.
As an important part of the new drug development process, clinical trials are the most funded phase. Patient recruitment is the most critical, time-consuming and expensive step in the entire clinical trial process. Traditionally, offline recruitment organizations usually dispatch their employees to various cities, hospitals, and clinics to reach out to their target patients. The whole process is time-consuming and expensive.
The new center will be committed to providing digital solutions for CRO and pharmaceutical companies to connect doctors and patients effectively. Through the platform, Phase I, II and III clinical trials of drugs can be opened to subjects online. Specialized project management simplifies the recruitment process and can quickly improve the enrollment speed of patients. Meanwhile, through big data technology, the platform can compare clinical trial requirements with disease mapping around the world, thus improving recruitment efficiency.
In addition to simplifying the recruitment process and shortening the recruitment time, JD Health will also rely on its own “Internet + healthcare” service capabilities to support the promotion of clinical trial patient recruitment projects. JD Health will not only cooperate in the clinical trial stage, but also participate in the pre-marketing process and seek in-depth cooperation with pharmaceutical companies.
For a large number of patients in urgent need of treatment, the advantage of participating in clinical trials is not only to “cure” but also to “save money.” The information provided by the online center will help patients with drug needs to find new drugs quickly and reduce their financial pressure to a certain extent. Patients in the trial who are in the comparison group without taking the trail medicine can also receive the existing standard therapies for free.
“Together with CRO and pharmaceutical companies, JD Health will participate in the clinical trial of new drugs with the synergy of multiple parties, which will also help accelerate the launch of more innovative drugs. At the same time, JD Health’s health management services will also be effective in the clinical trial cooperation,” said a representative from JD Health’s pharmaceutical business.

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.
