China's first Internet hospital in Wuzhen, a water town where the Second World Internet Conference is being held from Wednesday to Friday, has impressed many people for its convenience.
The hospital connects well-known doctors with patients from all over the nation through its app and website. After talking with doctors through video chat, an electronic patient record will be saved in the system. The patient can choose a doctor at home, receive a treatment protocol after remote consultation and pay the bills online.
