On June 10th, JD Health announced the establishment of an Intelligent Otorhinolaryngology Services Center. The center will expand the application scenarios of medical artificial intelligence, connect with offline medical institutions, and provide new integrated online and offline closed-loop services for the general public.
JD Health also announced a strategic cooperation with China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care (CPAM) at a press conference witnessed by four Academicians of Chinese Academy of Engineering. They are Demin Han, President of CPAM; Jing Cheng, Director of Biochip Beijing National Engineering Research Center; Jiahong Dong, President of Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital affiliated to Tsinghua University; Wei Tian, President of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. Demin Han was appointed as Chief Advisor to JD Health.
The partnership between JD Health and CPAM will focus on the needs of patients, promote the integrated development of rehabilitation and prevention in otorhinolaryngology (known more colloquially as ENT – ear, nose and throat), explore online and offline integrated models for rehabilitation, and chronic disease prevention and control of specialized diseases, so as to improve medical diagnosis and treatment.
China is experiencing an aging population, industrialization and urbanization, as well as facing challenges in terms of multiple disease threats, a variety of health factors, the unbalanced development of public health industry and the urgent need for transformation and upgrading of healthcare system. Demin Han believes that the future medical and health service model will shift from treatment-centered to prevention-centered, with the Internet, big data and medical artificial intelligence as the main drivers of transformation.
JD Health’s Otorhinolaryngology Intelligent Medical Service Center is the first national specialist medical center focusing on ENT health services that integrates online and offline. The center has set up departments of otology, rhinology, pharyngology, skull base, noise treatment, and head and neck surgery.
Lijun Xin, CEO of JD Health believes that exploring a new model of medical and health services is quite important to the company. JD Health will continue to build a national-level Internet medical center for special diseases by connecting top medical resources and carrying out online and offline integrated diagnosis and treatment services and health management.
Another major function of the center is to promote the penetration of medical resources in lower-tier markets, an important responsibility of JD Health as an Internet medical body, which is highly focused on helping the poor to reduce expenditure on medical treatment and drug purchase, and to improve the accessibility of drugs and medical services.

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.
