JD Health Opens Internet Hospital in Tianjin to Bring Traditional Chinese Medicine Services Online
by Vivian Yang
In close collaboration with JD Health, the Internet hospital of the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was launched on December 26th, marking a big step towards the “Internet + TCM” model, in which Tianjin residents can easily make online appointments with TCM doctors and order medications for home delivery.
During the opening ceremony, Xuemin Shi, China’s TCM master and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, stated that Internet hospitals, big data, AI, and other innovative technologies will play an increasingly important role in the development of “Internet + TCM,” which presents a significant opportunity to existing TCM hospitals with established standards and premier services.
Enlin Jin, CEO of JD Health, stated that the company will continue to collaborate with more industry partners and medical institutions in the future to better integrate TCM resources and technological capabilities, allowing high-quality TCM services to benefit more people with better medical experiences and more hospitals with higher operating efficiency.
TCM’s diagnosis procedures, such as looking, asking, and checking a pulse, can now be realized through telemedicine and connected devices, thanks to technological innovation. Smelling, the one of the four diagnosis procedures, can’t be done remotely so far.
Local people in Tianjin can use WeChat to access the hospital’s mini program, which includes online health consultations, follow-up visits with their doctors, digital payment, and home delivery of prescriptions, among other things.

JD Health is a pioneer in incorporating digital capabilities into a TCM solution that includes both online and offline resources, as well as treatment and pharmaceutical services. In 2020, the company launched its own TCM and medical consultations platform on the Internet. Patients can see more than 9,000 TCM specialists on this platform, including China’s top TCM experts Daning Zhang, Sihua Gao, and others.
JD Health’s online service platform for prepared TCM slices, on the other hand, offers patients a one-stop shop for everything from medication ordering to decocting to delivery.
The Tianjin hospital, which was founded in 1954 and has strong TCM clinical, teaching and medical research strength, serves as China’s national clinical research hub for TCM and acupuncture.

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.
