During the “Data and AI: Decoding Digital Engagement” summit in Chengdu on November 22, 2024, the company unveiled its healthcare-focused “AI Agent Solution” alongside plans to enhance digital healthcare and marketing services.

Strengthening Strategic Alliances

At the summit, Fangzhou deepened its partnerships with Tencent Healthcare and Baidu Health. This collaboration merges Fangzhou’s chronic disease management expertise with Tencent and Baidu’s prowess in mobile technology, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. Together, they aim to streamline the patient experience, making it easier to navigate from health content discovery to ongoing care.

Fangzhou CEO Dr. Xie Fangmin highlighted the importance of these alliances, stating, “By joining forces with industry leaders, we’re not just expanding our reach – we’re reimagining the entire healthcare ecosystem.” The partnership seeks to improve efficiency and engagement throughout the patient lifecycle, reshaping the healthcare landscape in China.

Introducing the “AI Agent Solution”

Fangzhou’s new “AI Agent Solution” focuses on simplifying healthcare information access for both consumers and professionals.

For users, a mini program offers tools to locate health and diagnosis data and provides personalized explanations for over 50 types of medical reports. Meanwhile, healthcare providers benefit from the “AI Academic Interaction Assistant,” which accelerates scientific content research. Features like voice input, bilingual search outputs, and automated literature summaries aim to reduce research time by up to 80%.

This innovative suite underscores Fangzhou’s commitment to leveraging AI to empower both patients and medical professionals, paving the way for more efficient health management.

He has worked in search for more than a decade, in-house and agency-side, and is regarded as one of the West’s leading voices on search engines beyond Google, including Yandex, Baidu, Naver and Cốc Cốc. On ReadIsi, Dan covers the engines and AI answer platforms that English-language coverage tends to miss: Baidu and ERNIE, Yandex and Alice AI, Naver, Cốc Cốc, Shenma, Sogou, WeChat and Weibo search, plus DeepSeek and Alibaba’s Qwen. He also keeps dated records of documented changes, such as the Yandex, Baidu and Naver algorithm update histories and the DeepSeek, ERNIE and Qwen model update histories. His approach is to take learnings from global search engines and apply logic with a high evidence threshold. A claim needs a source, patterns seen in one market are treated as a hypothesis until they are checked in another, and where the evidence is thin he says so. For brands, that means advice built on what can be shown, with measurement that separates being cited from being chosen. Dan is credited with coining the term “edge SEO” and won the inaugural TechSEO Boost research competition in 2018 for his work on CDN and edge changes for SEO. In 2026 he was credited with coining “Infinite Tail” to describe how keyword research is changing with AI search. He is the author of AI Search Marketing For The Travel Sector, writes for Search Engine Journal, Search Engine Land and Travel Marketing Guy, and has advised technology, SaaS, travel and enterprise ecommerce brands, including Cloudflare, GitLab and Airbnb. He has given multiple talks and panels at the International Search Summit in Barcelona, and has also spoken at Optimization Moscow, brightonSEO, Google Search Central Live Deep Dive Asia in Bangkok, Athens SEO and the Asia SEO Virtual Summit 2026, where his talk looked at how Baidu, Naver, DeepSeek, Tencent, Cốc Cốc and Yandex built their own AI answers.
