In addition to providing online medical consultation services, Ping An Haoyisheng has begun to partner with grade A tertiary hospitals in China this year to offer a complete set of services for patients' offline medical appointments. The platform launched a new "Jiankang Dao Jia" (Healthcare at Home) service in Guangzhou this July, which sends a Ping An Haoyisheng family doctor to the user's home to offer health consultation, disease management, and medical record services.

A representative for the platform said that in the future it plans to improve its systems for drug deliveries and insurance payment processing.

The Ping An Haoyisheng app offers users online medical consultation, medical appointment booking, one-hour drug delivery to the home, healthcare news, fitness activity tracking, and healthcare community forums. Users can also access the platform's Health Mall channel to purchase drugs, healthcare products, beauty products, and physical and electronic vouchers for services such as physical exams and genetic testing.
