The WeDoctor Greater Bay Area Healthcare Platform is driven by information technology including the internet, big data, and artificial intelligence, to create a bridge that links up and integrates the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and medical insurance services in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau. It currently has a regional network of 79 hospitals and over 10,000 medical practitioners, and has established 32 internet medical bodies, dozens of specialist collaborative alliances, and 500 pharmacies and consultation centres. It has also set up nine WeDoctor Greater Bay Area city service bases in the region. At the Zhuhai Base, an embedded medical base, functions including internet diagnosis and treatment, remote joint medical consultation and family health management are online to perform the matching of specialists and subject experts with patients and provide one-stop health management and medical services to the Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau populace.

The WeDoctor Greater Bay Area Healthcare Platform commenced preparation at the beginning of 2018. It has heretofore completed the strategic planning and connection of the healthcare services resources in 21 prefecture-level cities, and Hong Kong and Macau, and established strategic partnerships with AIA Group, NWS Holdings, IDS Medical Systems Group, and Reproductive Healthcare Group in Hong Kong.
