| Summary: | Zhiyun Health, China's leading one-stop chronic disease management and smart medical platform, provides services to more than 500 million chronic disease patients through its self-developed hospital "software as a service" (SaaS) system, pharmacy SaaS system, and advanced Internet-based hospital platform. Influenced by an aging population and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, chronic disease management and online consultation have gotten more attention from the public. With the rapidly increasing demand for chronic disease management, Zhiyun Health has expanded its business from diabetes management to the entire field of chronic disease management, focusing on the hospital's side and increasing its provision of technical support. As a new industry undergoing digitalization, the Internet-based medical industry has to deal with the most realistic problem: turning losses into profits. On the one hand is the goal of continuous expansion, which requires heavy investment, and on the other hand is the demand to turn loss into profit to guarantee long-term operation. Zhiyun Health urgently needs to find an optimal balance to solidify its position in the industry and achieve sustainable development. This case encourages students to explore and understand the predominant development contradiction of the chronic disease management market in the context of the gradual start of Internet-based healthcare. Based on the research on Zhiyun Health, students are required to analyze the motivations and effects of Zhiyun Health's strategies transformation and think about its trade-off in the future. |
