by Vivian Yang
JD Health launched a specialized medical center for spine care on August 20th. At the official launch ceremony in Beijing, prof. Zhang Xifeng accepted the invitation to be the leading scientist for the center. The center will leverage the “internet+healthcare” model to create comprehensive spinal health services with the integration of disease screening, diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation, and health management.
Prof. Zhang is a renowned expert in minimally invasive spinal surgery in China. His team is also composed of doctors from the best hospitals in China. Their rich clinical experience in spinal diseases is valuable in helping the center support its patients.

Through JD Health, patients with spinal diseases can not only get easier access to specialized experts from China’s top-level hospitals online with timely feedback and assistance for in-person doctor’s appointments, but also they can benefit from doctors’ consultations organized on JD Health. A spinal symptom might be related to multiple health conditions and a timely medical consultation with doctors of different specializations is helpful for patients to get a more effective treatment solution.
“The spine care center is a new addition to JD Health’s portfolio of specialized medical centers. Through building these centers, JD Health will continue to tap the potential of the ‘internet + healthcare’ model to integrate high-quality healthcare resources and optimize their allocation so as to help improve the health of Chinese people,” said Jianbo Xiao, general manager of the telemedicine department of JD Health.
China’s latest health data shows that 97% of middle-aged and elderly people suffer from spinal diseases, and there has been a trend of patients getting younger in recent years. More than 40% of people under the age of 40 have various spinal problems.
According to prof. Zhang, the most common spinal diseases include lumbar disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis and cervical spondylosis. Most patients do not need surgery. Conservative treatments and therapeutic instruments can help them alleviate some pain.
Thanks to JD Health’s closed-loop telemedicine services, besides medical consultations, patients can also order quality-guaranteed medicine and therapeutic instruments under their doctors’ advice on JD’s pharmaceutical platform and JD’s superior logistics service will ensure same- or next-day delivery.

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.

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.
