China Telemedicine Market Trends and Drivers:

Over the last decade, the trend of telemedicine in China has changed from a temporary or stopgap replacement for general outpatient services for minor and trivial conditions, to an earnest attempt to include telemedicine in the continuum of care for chronic diseases, which has been one of the most prominent trends in telemedicine development in China, driven by the high prevalence of chronic conditions (such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease) and the aging population. Major platforms now combine continuous remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices and artificial intelligence (AI) analytics. An example is a diabetes patient who uses a smart glucometer that wirelessly streams glucose readings to an online solution. It would also use analytics to monitor health patterns and suggest personalized lifestyle and medication adherence recommendations to the patient and their primary care physician. Pilot projects in major metropolitan areas have shown promising results. For example, COPD patients that were treated as part of an integrated virtual care model had a 18% lower rate of hospital readmissions. The virtual care market has evolved from initial e-consult products into a central component of an emerging value-based, preventative and continuous care ecosystem that looks at the broadest measures of good patient outcomes.

At the same time, the private telemedicine platforms are becoming increasingly integrated into China's public health system. The model of independent digital health apps is giving way to strong partnerships with public hospitals and regional healthcare systems. This is evolving as a result of the government-supported "Internet + Healthcare" demonstration centers, and the formation of formal Digital Health Alliances (DHA), whereby the leading telemedicine companies agree to pool their technology to create universal digital access points for a region's group of public hospitals. This eases hybrid care pathways, such as a patient first seen in an online remote clinic with a specialist doctor at a tier-one public hospital, having any recommended diagnostics done at a local, partner hospital, and having all data recorded into one unified electronic health record (EHR) that can be viewed by the patient and care team. Early results from a new partnership in the Yangtze River Delta show that over 60% of post-operative follow up consultations are happening over the integrated hospital-branded platforms. The technology is dramatically reducing unnecessary travel, freeing up police resources to focus on more difficult cases, and improving the efficiency of the wider process.

The market is evolving and moving beyond the use of telemedicine to support routine GP services to also include specific services to patients with more complex requirements, such as tele-psychiatry, tele-cardiology, telestroke and post-operative care while making use of other technologies to provide the same high quality of clinical care. New neurology platforms offer online, FDA-approved, medical-grade, computer vision software that can assess asymmetry and speech in real time, allowing for remote triage of potential stroke patients. In mental health, structured digital therapeutic programs are available for insomnia and anxiety that screen patients and deliver targeted, evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) protocols via mobile application. Effectiveness data from these programs are reported to a psychiatrist who oversees the practice. Reimbursable services such as digital pathology and teleradiology, where specialists provide second opinions on very high-resolution medical images over long distances, represent an exciting new area for telepsychiatry. For example, data from a leading oncology platform suggest that tumor boards in their virtual setting are connecting specialist teams to reduce the amount of time needed to develop a final cancer treatment plan for a complex case by 30%.
