JD Health Revolutionizes AI Healthcare with Zhiyi: Empowering Doctors and Enhancing Patient Care
  • JD Health’s Zhiyi sits at the center of a broader AI healthcare architecture that includes the proprietary medical LLM Jingyi Qianxun and patient-facing AI Dawei, plus more than 1,500 specialized AI agents deployed across hospitals and disease areas to support workflows from evidence retrieval to patient follow-up.

  • The platform draws on specialized, evidence-backed resources such as guidelines from the China Anti-Cancer Association for holistic cancer management, and offers over 200 medical calculators for diagnosis, risk assessment, dosing, and cardiovascular risk, along with tools for literature reviews and patient education.

  • JD Health has built dedicated evaluation systems, including MedScope to assess evidence quality and usefulness, and MedSafety to flag high‑risk scenarios across 26 categories, ensuring clinical safety and reliability.

  • Zhiyi enables multimodal inputs, allowing doctors to upload and analyze lab results, prescriptions, images, PDFs, and past consultations to reduce manual data entry and save time.

  • A core feature is dynamic evidence-location, which traces AI conclusions back to original texts to ensure traceability and explainability for clinicians.

  • The value of medical AI lies in trusted evidence, safety, workflow integration, and scalable access; Zhiyi exemplifies an end-to-end approach that combines technology, evidence, partnerships, and logistics to empower doctors and improve patient care.

  • Zhiyi supports complex clinical reasoning with a Deep Thinking mode that breaks down questions, weighs evidence levels, and provides structured references for multi-condition and multi-medication scenarios.

  • In August, JD Health partnered with PICA Health to integrate Zhiyi into PICA Health’s app, giving about three million registered primary-care doctors free access to Deep Thinking, medical calculators, and research assistance, expanding AI resources to grassroots clinicians.

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

  • JD Health’s supply chain infrastructure enables widespread access to medicines and healthcare products, reaching over one million villages and delivering 87.1% of orders same or next day in county-level areas, linking AI-guided clinical decisions with real-world drug accessibility.

  • Zhiyi, launched in January 2026, is an evidence-based AI assistant for healthcare professionals in China designed to integrate into doctors’ daily work and decision-making.
