POMDOCTOR LIMITED Announces Strategic Upgrade Toward Infrastructure for Predictive Healthcare Data and Services

Published

on

GUANGZHOU, China, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — POMDOCTOR LIMITED (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: POM), a leading online medical services platform for chronic diseases in China, today announced a strategic upgrade, officially positioning the Company as a foundational infrastructure provider for predictive healthcare data and services.

The strategic upgrade reflects the Company’s continued evolution from a traditional online healthcare platform toward an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled healthcare infrastructure provider. By integrating wearable technologies, AI, physician services, real-world healthcare data, and healthcare payment networks, POM aims to develop an intelligent healthcare ecosystem that enables predictive, continuous and personalized healthcare. The Company believes this integrated platform will support the healthcare industry’s broader transition from reactive treatment to proactive health prediction, prevention, and long-term management.

A New Strategic Positioning

Traditionally, online healthcare platforms have primarily focused on one-time consultations, fragmented healthcare data and reactive medical services delivered after symptoms appear. The business models are generally centered on consultation services and pharmaceutical fulfillment, with limited capabilities for continuous health management.

POM’s strategic upgrade reflects the Company’s ambition to move beyond the traditional online healthcare mode. Instead of providing episodic healthcare services, POM is building a predictive healthcare data and services infrastructure that supports the entire healthcare journey, from prevention and early risk identification to diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and long-term chronic disease management.

Unlike traditional platforms that rely on fragmented clinical data, POM is working to establish a continuous, dynamic and multi-dimensional healthcare data ecosystem powered by wearable technologies and real-world healthcare data. Aligned with this ecosystem, a diversified revenue business model is under development, supported by AI-powered services, healthcare data, professional medical services and ecosystem partnerships, rather than depending primarily on pharmaceutical sales.

By integrating real-time data, AI Analytics, physician intervention and healthcare payment networks, this closed-loop healthcare ecosystem enables more proactive, personalized and data-driven healthcare delivery.

Three Trends Accelerating Predictive Healthcare

POM believes the healthcare industry is approaching a significant inflection point as three long-term structural trends converge.

Growing Chronic Disease Burden

Chronic diseases continue to account for the majority of global healthcare expenditures and mortality. As populations age and healthcare costs continue to rise, traditional reactive healthcare models are becoming increasingly unsustainable, creating growing demand for continuous monitoring, early intervention, and long-term health management.

Technological Paradigm Shift

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, wearable sensors and remote patient monitoring (“RPM”) technologies are making continuous health monitoring commercially viable. These technologies enable the collection and analysis of real-time physiological data beyond traditional clinical settings, providing the technological foundation for predictive healthcare.

Healthcare Payment System Transformation

Healthcare reimbursement models are increasingly shifting from paying for treatment toward supporting prevention, chronic disease management, and long-term health outcomes. The expanding coverage of RPM reimbursement policies is strengthening the commercial foundation for predictive healthcare while creating stronger alignment among patients, healthcare providers, and insurers.

Together, these structural trends are reshaping healthcare and creating a compelling opportunity for predictive healthcare to become the next major evolution of digital medicine.

POM’s Healthcare Intelligence Flywheel

To execute its strategic vision, POM has established a healthcare intelligence flywheel designed to continuously improve healthcare outcomes through strengthening the Company’s AI capabilities, healthcare data assets and ecosystem value.

The flywheel begins with wearable devices, which continuously collect real-world physiological data and establish personalized health profiles, creating the foundation for predictive healthcare.

These data are then processed through POM’s AI Analysis & Prediction engine, which analyzes large-scale real-world healthcare data to identify health risks, detect abnormal trends and generate predictive insights before diseases progress.

The resulting intelligence empowers physician intervention, enabling healthcare professionals to deliver more personalized recommendations, timely medical interventions and continuous health management supported by objective, real-time data.

POM further extends this ecosystem through insurance-healthcare integration, collaborating with healthcare payers to improve disease prevention, optimize healthcare resource allocation and facilitate the delivery of value-based healthcare services.

As more users join the platform, additional real-world healthcare data continuously enhances AI performance, improves healthcare services, attracts new ecosystem participants and reinforces a self-sustaining cycle of innovation and long-term growth.

Management Commentary

Mr. Zhenyang Shi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of POMDOCTOR, commented: “Healthcare is entering a new era in which continuous data, artificial intelligence and proactive intervention will fundamentally reshape the way healthcare is delivered. We believe the growing demand for chronic disease management, together with advances in AI, the widespread adoption of wearable devices, and the evolution of healthcare payment models, is creating a significant opportunity to transform healthcare from reactive treatment to predictive health management.

Our strategic upgrade reflects our long-term vision of building the infrastructure that powers predictive healthcare rather than simply providing individual healthcare services. By integrating wearable technologies, AI, physician resources, healthcare payment networks, and real-world healthcare data into one intelligent platform, we aim to create a sustainable healthcare ecosystem that delivers long-term value for patients, healthcare providers, insurers, pharmaceutical companies and shareholders.

Looking ahead, we will continue building upon our strong foundation in China while advancing our international growth strategy, with the United States representing an important next step in our global development. As we expand our technology capabilities, strategic partnerships, and healthcare ecosystem across key markets, we remain committed to making predictive healthcare more accessible worldwide and building a globally connected healthcare infrastructure for the future.”

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.
