JD Health Revolutionizes AI Healthcare with Zhiyi: Empowering Doctors and Enhancing Patient Care
  • JD Health’s Zhiyi sits within a broader AI healthcare architecture that leverages the Jingyi Qianxun medical LLM and connects to tools like Dawei (AI doctor) and a network of more than 1,500 specialized AI agents across hospitals and disease areas.

  • To ensure clinical safety and reliability, JD Health has established evaluation systems such as MedScope for evidence quality, accuracy, and usefulness, and MedSafety to address high-risk medical scenarios across 26 categories.

  • The design philosophy centers on augmenting doctor judgment rather than replacing it, emphasizing trusted evidence, seamless workflow integration, safety controls, and broad accessibility across care settings.

  • The platform offers specialized, evidence-backed resources, including guidelines from the China Anti-Cancer Association and more than 200 medical calculators for diagnosis, risk assessment, dosing, and cardiovascular risk, plus research-assistance tools for literature reviews and patient education.

  • Zhiyi supports multimodal inputs, enabling doctors to upload and analyze lab results, prescriptions, images, PDFs, and prior consultations to reduce manual data entry and review time.

  • A Deep Thinking mode breaks down complex questions, assesses evidence levels, and provides structured references, with examples drawn from oncology guidelines and access to numerous medical calculators to support clinical reasoning.

  • Traceability is central, showing the original texts and sources behind AI conclusions to help doctors verify evidence, with dynamic location of evidence pointing back to primary sources.

  • Ultimately, the value of medical AI lies in trusted evidence, safety, workflow integration, and scalable access, demonstrated by Zhiyi’s end-to-end approach that combines technology, partnerships, and logistics to empower clinicians and improve patient care.

  • Zhiyi consolidates more than 50 million medical papers and guidelines, plus 160,000 pharmaceutical instructions, and has served over a million doctors with over 20 million clinical decision-making interactions.

  • In August, JD Health partnered with PICA Health to integrate Zhiyi into PICA Health’s app, offering free access to Deep Thinking, medical calculators, and research assistance to about three million registered primary-care doctors in China.

  • JD Health’s supply chain network supports widespread access to medicines and healthcare products—reaching over one million villages with high last-mile delivery coverage—linking AI-informed decisions to real-world drug availability.

  • Zhiyi is an evidence-based AI assistant launched in January 2026 to support clinical decision-making, medical research, and patient management for healthcare professionals in China.
