Internet hospital
An internet hospital is a licensed online medical platform based on a offline hospital, integrating consultation, prescription, payment and dispensing into one-stop Internet medical service centers. Internet hospitals are running smoothly and gaining considerable traction among the public especially because a series of policies that the government released and the efficient express service makes for contactless drug delivery. Compared with physical hospitals, Internet hospitals have the advantages of higher efficiency at lower costs, optimized resource distribution and non-contact treatment.
Health wearable devices
With more and more people using smartwatches or health wearables to track steps, sleeps, and even blood pressure, users are more used to being surrounded by data about their health. A study shows that the number of wearable devices is forecast to hit 1.1 billion by 2022 worldwide.
With this popularity of wearable devices, the challenge shifts from collecting the most accurate data to presenting the data in the easiest way to understand. Users no longer just want to see the numbers, but the useful insights behind the numbers and how it affects their well-being.
Medical virtual reality
Virtual reality opens doors to a variety of new opportunities for both patients and the doctors in the healthcare industry. For the patients, VR is presenting itself as an enticing solution to help patients relax and suffer to a lesser extent when the patients are in anxious or painful situations. For the doctors, VR is mostly seen as the training tool to improve their skills. It can be used to simulate the actual operations or help physicians experiencing life as elderly.
What we listed above are just a few of the technologies that are currently active in the healthcare industry, but there are many more exciting technologies in use and under development. We at UX Spot focus on the latest industry news and expand the frontiers of UX research in China.
In the response to COVID-19, people are more conscious about medical information and going to the offline hospital. Healthcare apps like Ping An Good Doctor and Ding Xiang Yuan saw their user bases grow dramatically. Ping An Good Doctor, for instance, reported a 900% increase in new users from December 2019 to January 2020.
According to Haodf.com, the very popular internet hospital in China, over 20,000 physicians offer online medical services to 200,000 visitors daily on their platforms.
Over two in five (43%) urban Chinese consumers would buy wearable devices for themselves, rising to almost half (48%) of consumers aged 20-24.
