Internet Healthcare
Internet healthcare is the umbrella industry frame in No.206 检索、送药、看病：互联网医疗这些年 | 中国互联网故事22. It covers hospital IT, medical literature retrieval, doctor communities, appointment booking, online consultation, drug ecommerce, internet hospitals, medical content, AI-assisted workflows, and long-term health management.
The episode’s core position is that healthcare cannot be “internetized” like a standard consumer service.

Iran’s cyberwar on American banks adds a cybersecurity risk note from outside the China-platform history. Rafe Pilling treats health care organizations as more worrying targets than banks because sensitive records can be stolen, leaked, destroyed, or made unavailable through Cyber Data Theft and Leak Operations or ransomware-type attacks.
E227｜美国医疗市场AI争夺战：巨头押注，创业公司能赢吗？ adds the U.S. AI-era version. Instead of starting from appointment booking or online consultation, the episode starts from Physician Administrative Burden, EHR workflows, insurance denials, medical coding, HIPAA, doctor evidence search, and platform competition among OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenEvidence.
