New York, Feb. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BOQI International Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: BIMI) (“BIMI” or the “Company”) today announced the formation and business plan of its new wholly-owned subsidiary, BOYI Technology, a healthcare technology company focused on developing and marketing Telehealth software, eProcurement platform and supply-chain-management software (SCMS) for the healthcare industry.
The formation of BOYI Technology is in line with BOQI International Medical’s member-centric O2O business model, while also meeting the increasing market demand for Telehealth software and healthcare SCMS. BOYI Technology will be based in Dalian, China, with initial product availability expected in the second quarter of the calendar year 2020. BOYI Technology plans to develop and market four specific software in 2020: eProcurement platform, SCMS, Telemedicine software and Chronic Care Management(CCM) system.
The eProcurement platform is for clinics and pharmacies to help them digitalize procurement and increase efficiencies. The platform will be connected to the ERP system of upstream pharmaceutical companies, reducing users’ operating costs and automating order processing.
The SCMS is for pharmaceutical companies, hospitals clinics and pharmacies to keep tighter control of internal inventories, internal production, distribution, sales, and the inventories of their vendors. The SCMS is expected to classify medicines by therapeutic use, find medicines with overlapping effects and low gross profit margins, and optimize inventory management.
The Telemedicine software is for medical specialists and individual users. Users can enjoy one-to-one online consultation services provided by nearby medical specialists. When a referral is needed, the patient can make an online appointment and share all medical records, prescriptions, and test results with the higher-level healthcare provider.
The CCM system is mainly for elderly customers with chronic disease. The system will record health data (blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipids, oxygen levels, etc.) uploaded by wearable equipment, which will provide clinical decision support for physicians.
"The online business has always been a critical component of our growth strategy," said Mr. Tiewei Song, Chief Executive Officer and President of BOQI International Medical Inc. "During the outbreak of the coronavirus, we are accelerating the development of Telehealth software and the supply chain management systems to meet the immediate needs of our customers. We believe that our online business will play an important role in generating revenue this year as travel restrictions may be widening."
