The Chinese healthcare system has a long way to go before it can adequately satisfy the needs of the country's huge population. However, I take great pride in the high quality of China's healthcare at such low costs for the average Chinese person.

Yesterday, a little winged insect flew into my right eye, leaving a red spot on my eyeball. I opened my medical app at 12 a.m., scheduled an appointment at 2 p.m., waited for half an hour, and had a medical examination. Most of the bill was paid for by my national health insurance.

I also tried making an appointment with a neurosurgeon through the Peking University People's Hospital mobile app. When I checked the app at 21:44, I saw that the earliest available appointment with a chief physician (professor) would be 16 hours later and would cost 300 RMB ($41, most of which would be reimbursed by my medical care). [Picture 1]

The earliest appointment I can get with an attending physician is a day later, and it will cost me 50 RMB ($6.8). With my healthcare, I only pay 10 RMB ($1.4). [Picture 2]

For people in immediate need, the system is incredibly affordable and effective (I don't want to have a red eye for days).

Here are some statistics on China's healthcare system.

🏥 When the PRC was founded in 1949, the average life expectancy in China was 35 years; in 2022, it was 77.93 years, mostly due to the country's improving medical care system.

🏥 Its basic medical insurance covers approximately 1.3 billion people.

🏥 China has a three-tier system to grade hospitals, with tertiary hospitals -- which have the largest number of beds and provide comprehensive medical services -- at the top of the system.

🏥 Basic public health services provided at the primary level have been bolstered. In the first half of 2023, nearly 90 million people aged 65 and above enjoyed health management through such services, increasing by 40 percent compared with the same period last year.

🏥 Health authorities and medical institutions have made proactive efforts to ensure the accessibility and equitability of health services. Currently, 82.7 percent of all medical institutions at or above the secondary level in the country have established a system that enables patients to schedule appointments for diagnosis and treatment.

🏥 Internet-powered health services are playing an increasingly important role in China's health system. By 2020, over 1,600 internet hospitals were opened in China, and almost 49 million people had used the service to receive a diagnosis and treatment.

🏥 By the end of 2021, the number of doctors in China had reached 4.2 million, and the number of doctors per 1,000 people had reached 3.04, close to the level of developed countries.

🏥 The Chinese government announced in 2022 a strategy to increase the number of health professionals as part of the country's 14th Five-Year Plan. It aims to increase the number of physicians to 3.2 per 1,000 people by 2025.

🏥 From January to September, medical institutions in China saw a total of 5.11 billion medical visits.

Public Health Campaigns & Communities

What is public health?

Public health, as a multidisciplinary field, is dedicated to enhancing the health and overall well-being of communities (Lee, 2023). It strives to create safe environments for people to live, learn, work, and enjoy their lives. Many people mistakenly believe that public health is the same as healthcare. However, it is important to distinguish between the two, as public health focuses on entire populations with the objective of preventing illnesses and injuries, while the healthcare industry concentrates on treating individual patients who are already sick (APHA, 2023).

For example, public health is responsible for the following:

"Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private communities, and individuals." — Winslow, 1920

The 10 Essential Public Health Services

The 10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS), first created in 1994 by a federal working group, serves as the description of the activities that public health systems should undertake in all communities. EPHS is organised around the three core functions of public health: assessment, policy development and assurance. Health departments and community partners collaborators across the nation structure their work around the EPHS model, while educational institutions and public health programs also incorporate it into their teachings  (CDC, 2023).

In 2020, a revised version of the 10 EPHS was unveiled during a virtual launch event. The revised EPHS centres around equity and promotes policies that enable optimal health for all and seek to remove systemic and structural barriers such as poverty, racism, gender discrimination and others, that have resulted in health inequities (CDC, 2023).

“The revised 10 EPHS not only centres equity but acknowledges the importance of community voice and the different roles public health plays.” — Jessica Fisher, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Public Health National Center for Innovations (PHNCI).

COVID-19 and Public Health

COVID-19, caused by an infection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was initially detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, a city in China's Hubei province. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a substantial threat to nations across the world, and it is regarded as the biggest public health crisis the world has confronted in over a century (Miyah, 2022). In late 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in which countries with vulnerable healthcare facilities may be at an excessive hazard (Tabari, 2020).

In response to this crisis, many countries have enacted travel restrictions, including flight suspensions and measures to limit incoming travellers. Others have introduced social distancing and quarantine policies as well as encouraging the reduction of social interactions, postponing events, locking down schools, and isolating suspected cases. Furthermore, some regions have utilized telemedicine for remote consultations and monitoring during the outbreak (Tabari, 2020).

MySejahtera is a mobile app developed by the Malaysian government to support various aspects of public health throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. This app enables citizens to conduct self-health assessments, track their health status, and communicate information with the Ministry of Health (MOH), so that necessary actions could be implemented.

Here are its primary functions:

Mental Health Problem Attribute to Social Media

Last but not least, mental health is a crucial aspect of public health, and the well-being of individuals, particularly those in the 16-24 age group, is a matter of significant concern. A survey conducted in Malaysia in May 2022 revealed that a considerable portion of young respondents in this age range reported experiencing heightened levels of stress and anxiety over the past year (Statista Research Department, 2023). Furthermore, this research suggests that social media plays a substantial role in contributing to this mental health problem.

Source: Statista Research Department, 2023

Multiple studies have demonstrated a strong connection between heavy use of social media and the risk for mental health issues (Robinson, 2023). Social media platforms can be hotspots for the dissemination of hurtful rumours, lies and online harassment. About 10 percent of teens report being bullied on social media and many other users are subjected to offensive comments (Robinson, 2023). Additionally, fear of missing out (FOMO) can compel someone to pick up their phone every few minutes to check for updates, or compulsively respond to every alert. When individuals prioritize online interactions over in-person relationships, they become more vulnerable to mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression.

These findings highlight the importance of recognizing the influence of social media on mental health, especially among young adults. In summary, striking a balance between the advantages of digital connectivity and the preservation of mental well-being is crucial to ensure that social media serves as a positive and constructive tool in the lives of young individuals.

Retailers Can Reap the Rewards of a Personalized, Gamified Experience

Gamification has long been part of the shopping experience, but AI is making it more personal and effective than ever.

Retailers are exploring new methods to design and develop hyper-personalized games and contests within their loyalty programs, effectively using gamification to layer additional value on top of their existing loyalty propositions. With AI and predictive analytics, they can automate tailored challenges at scale, significantly enhancing their connection with loyalty program members and critical shopper segments.

Enhancing what consumers expect from gamification

Many retailers have already developed unique and creative ways to engage consumers through gamification. Asda, for example, has seen tremendous success engaging customers through its “Spin the Wheel” game inside its mobile app where the retailer has rewarded millions of customers with money and prizes as they unlock the chance to spin and win every time they meet the £5 minimum spend threshold.

One of Canada’s largest retailers, Loblaw, has also implemented gamification, but in a slightly different way and aimed at a different segment of shoppers. Loblaw’s PC Health proposition, which provides healthcare services to shoppers, introduced a gamified experience that engages with consumers using Fitbits or Apple watches, awarding users bonus points for hitting a step count goal, for example.

While both Asda and Loblaw deliver great gamified experiences for users, AI-powered personalization will take them further. By leveraging a shopper’s sales history, loyalty interactions, and additional data sources such as time, weather and preferences, AI-powered personalization tools can help transform gamified encounters into true 1-to-1 experiences.

This enhanced approach to gamification is exemplified by Tesco and Carrefour, both of which introduced personalized gamification through challenges inside their loyalty programs to great fanfare within the grocery industry. Both retailers are using AI to automate the creation and execution of fully personalized challenges for each loyalty member enrolled in the challenges offering. As each consumer completes a custom, designated task, they receive a custom reward. The AI automatically selects contests and rewards based on the individual’s purchase history and preferences.

These programs offer gamification with a purpose—moving beyond simply engaging customers to rewarding them individually for displaying desirable behaviors.

Three benefits of personalized gamification at retail

Gamification has long been recognized as a powerful marketing strategy. Nearly 70% of respondents in a 2023 Euromonitor International survey cited it as a top loyalty tactic, noting that adding challenging and competitive elements significantly boost customer engagement and retention. Gamification also fulfills consumers’ desires for immersive and goal-oriented experiences.

By integrating AI-powered personalization, retailers can elevate their gamification efforts and enjoy three key benefits:

1. Improved loyalty

In a global shopper survey by Eagle Eye, 60% of North American shoppers said they rely on loyalty programs to save money, and 66% of global consumers say they would or already do participate in games and contests within their favorite loyalty programs. When retailers combine these two desires, the result is a more loyal shopper. Personalized challenges within the rewards program can inspire those consumers while they shop and help them save money in a fun way. By leveraging the member’s loyalty data, these personalized gaming experiences make shoppers feel recognized and valued.

2. Boosted engagement and incremental spending

Eagle Eye’s global survey also revealed that 84% of shoppers believe personalized rewards help them save money. Loyalty members see saving on their favorite items as the primary benefit of a loyalty program, and personalized gamification directly caters to this need. By offering tailored rewards and challenges, retailers can increase member engagement and drive both the consolidation of spend into their business, as well as encourage incremental spending, as members are more likely to participate in programs that provide tangible savings on items they frequently purchase.

3. Unlock a new revenue stream

By deploying new, gamified tactics retailers gain the opportunity to open new revenue streams by collaborating with suppliers who want to reach their shoppers through these highly engaging and personalized marketing initiatives. Games and challenges can become new, high-value items on a retailers’ Retail Media inventory, with suppliers keen to fund these tactics to drive their own objectives in collaboration with their retail partners.

Revamping Gamification in retail

In the near term, as retailers further their use of AI across their businesses, personalized loyalty programs will continue to expand. AI, automation, and personalization will be touching every part of the retail journey, including loyalty accounts.

Retailers like Asda, Loblaw, Tesco and Carrefour are navigating new waters around personalization and loyalty, but companies will see clear benefits—more loyalty, more active shoppers, and more incremental spending when they can create true 1-to-1 engagement across all touchpoints. Executing personalized programs at scale necessitates the use of AI and predictive analytics to automate challenges and tailor rewards.

To successfully implement gamification, retailers must invest in advanced technology and partner with industry experts. By doing so, they can cultivate deeper customer engagement and drive long-term growth through a uniquely tailored shopping experience.

Market Drivers

1. Rising Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases: Respiratory diseases are a major public health concern worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), COPD is the third leading cause of death globally. The increasing incidence of these diseases has led to a surge in demand for oxygen therapy equipment. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of oxygen therapy in managing acute respiratory distress, further propelling market growth.

2. Technological Advancements: The oxygen therapy equipment market has benefited from significant technological advancements. Modern devices are now more efficient, portable, and user-friendly, making oxygen therapy more accessible to patients. Innovations such as oxygen concentrators, which can provide a continuous supply of oxygen without the need for refilling, have revolutionized the market. Moreover, the integration of smart technology, such as remote monitoring and mobile apps, has enhanced patient compliance and treatment outcomes.

3. Aging Population: The global aging population is another key driver of the oxygen therapy equipment market. Older adults are more susceptible to respiratory conditions, and as life expectancy increases, the demand for oxygen therapy is expected to rise. This demographic shift is particularly pronounced in developed countries, where the elderly population is growing rapidly.

4. Rising Awareness and Home Healthcare: There is a growing awareness of the benefits of oxygen therapy among both patients and healthcare providers. This, coupled with the trend towards home healthcare, has increased the demand for home-use oxygen therapy equipment. Patients prefer the convenience of receiving treatment in the comfort of their homes, which has driven the adoption of portable oxygen concentrators and other home-use devices.

Types of Oxygen Therapy Equipment

The oxygen therapy equipment market is broadly categorized into three main types: oxygen concentrators, compressed gas systems, and liquid oxygen systems.

1. Oxygen Concentrators: Oxygen concentrators are devices that filter and concentrate oxygen from ambient air, providing a continuous supply to the patient. They are available in stationary and portable models. Portable oxygen concentrators are particularly popular due to their convenience and mobility, allowing patients to maintain their lifestyle while receiving treatment.

2. Compressed Gas Systems: These systems consist of oxygen cylinders filled with compressed oxygen gas. They are commonly used in hospitals and healthcare facilities, but their portability and limited supply make them less suitable for home use.

3. Liquid Oxygen Systems: Liquid oxygen systems store oxygen in a liquid state, providing a higher oxygen concentration than gas systems. They are used for patients who require high-flow oxygen. However, they are less commonly used due to their complexity and the need for regular refilling.

Market Challenges

Despite the promising growth, the oxygen therapy equipment market faces several challenges. One of the primary challenges is the high cost of advanced oxygen therapy devices, which can be prohibitive for some patients, especially in developing regions. Additionally, the need for regular maintenance and the complexity of some devices can be a barrier to widespread adoption.

Another challenge is the lack of adequate healthcare infrastructure in certain regions, which limits access to oxygen therapy. In rural and remote areas, the availability of oxygen therapy equipment is often limited, impacting patient outcomes.

Future Outlook

The future of the oxygen therapy equipment market looks promising, with continued growth expected in the coming years. The ongoing development of new technologies and the increasing focus on home healthcare are likely to drive market expansion. Additionally, efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and increase access to oxygen therapy in developing regions will further support market growth.

The market is also expected to benefit from the growing emphasis on personalized medicine, with devices being tailored to meet the specific needs of individual patients. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in oxygen therapy devices could enhance patient monitoring and treatment efficacy.
