Comprehensive Layout in Elderly Care Technology and Services with Strategic System Taking Shape

To proactively address the profound impacts and unique opportunities arising from China's increasingly prominent "aging" society, the Group has strategically embarked on expanding and deepening its presence in the silver economy market, creating a new ecosystem that integrates "Education, Healthcare and Wellness."

It obtained the provincial qualification for the mutual recognition of medical examinations and tests, and successfully integrated with the "Liaoning Provincial Mutual Recognition Platform for Examinations and Tests (遼寧省檢查檢驗互認平臺)."

Concurrently, the Group will accelerate the nationwide deployment of the citywide smart elderly care platform, systematically building a standardized business system of "One Platform, Two Centers" to create a standardized, replicable operational model. Positioned as new infrastructure for city elderly care, it aims to become a trusted digital elderly care partner for the government. In terms of medical services, the Group will drive the upgrade from single-treatment to full-cycle health management, building a full-chain proactive health management system featuring "early screening and treatment of chronic diseases + personalized lifestyle prescriptions + functional medicine interventions."
