At the start of 2026, the field of smart medical insurance marked a milestone breakthrough: Unisound AI Technology Co., Ltd. successfully won the bid for China's first provincial-level vertical large model project for medical insurance, the "Jiangsu Provincial Medical Insurance Vertical Large Model and AI Agent Application Project." This pioneering collaboration not only responds directly to the national "AI Plus" initiative and Jiangsu Province's strategy to develop new quality productive forces, but also carries profound implications for public well-being and national strategy, demonstrating how a technology company can put General Secretary Xi Jinping's important directives into practice through advanced, mission-critical technologies.

"We must continue to intensify medical insurance reform; conduct centralized volume-based procurement of medicines on a regular and institutionalized basis; improve medical insurance and assistance systems for serious and critical illnesses; deepen reform of medical insurance fund supervision; and safeguard the people's 'lifeline funds' and 'life-saving funds.'" "We must improve medical insurance administration mechanisms, innovate service delivery models, foster a diversified and competitive landscape, and enhance the efficiency and quality of basic medical insurance administration services." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary has issued important instructions on medical insurance on many occasions, profoundly clarifying its fundamental purpose, strategic objectives, and direction of reform. These instructions have charted the course for high-quality development of medical insurance in the new era, including smart medical insurance. Unisound's successful bid is a strong response to the General Secretary's earnest directives: using AI large-model technologies to bridge the "last mile" of modernized medical insurance governance; making medical insurance services smarter, more precise, and more people-centered; and harnessing technology to safeguard the people's medical care and life-saving funds. In doing so, Unisound is shouldering the political responsibility and duty of the times entrusted to technology companies: improving people's well-being and serving national strategy.

01 Policy Tailwinds: Embarking on a New Journey Toward Data-Driven Governance, Intelligent Supervision, and Precision Services

China is accelerating the development of a multi-tier medical insurance system that covers the entire population, coordinates urban and rural areas, is equitable and unified, secure and well-regulated, and sustainable. From the systematic rollout of smart medical insurance in the 14th Five-Year Plan for Universal Medical Security to the National Healthcare Security Administration's explicit requirement for standardized, scientific, and routine intelligent review and monitoring systems, a series of policy measures has outlined a clear blueprint: using digital technology to comprehensively strengthen medical insurance governance.

As a frontline province for reform, Jiangsu has consistently led the way in smart medical insurance. In January 2026, Governor Liu Xiaotao emphasized during a dedicated research visit that AI should be used to strengthen closed-loop, end-to-end supervision of medical insurance funds and to build and effectively utilize a trusted medical insurance data space. Unisound's successful bid brings national top-level design and local practice into deep alignment. With AI large models as the core engine, the project will lay a solid technological foundation for safeguarding the people's medical care and life-saving funds, unlocking the potential of medical insurance data, and building a precision health service system.

02 Built on Shanhai: Forging China's First Provincial-Level Vertical Large Model for Medical Insurance

With 14 years of focused work in AI, Unisound has always made technological innovation its core competitive strength. Developed in-house, the Shanhai large model not only ranks among the world's best in general capabilities but has also built globally leading expertise in the medical vertical. Released at the end of 2025, the "Shanhai-Zhiyi Large Model 5.0" marked a critical leap from an "intelligent tool" to a "clinical collaborator," with robust capabilities in deep analysis of medical logic, multimodal data processing, and adaptation to complex scenarioses.

Deep industry expertise provides a solid foundation for real-world deployment. Today, smart healthcare solutions powered by the Shanhai large model have been successfully deployed in nearly 400 hospitals nationwide, with more than 700 additional hospitals in the testing phase, generating extensive practical experience. Building on this advantage, Unisound will advance three core initiatives in Jiangsu: develop a foundational large model for medical insurance and an open-source multimodal large model to create a powerful intelligent foundation; build a high-quality medical insurance knowledge base to ensure professional and compliant model reasoning; and establish an AI agent management platform to manage the full lifecycle of AI applications, from development and deployment to operations and maintenance. This integrated approach will provide end-to-end, unified technical support for Jiangsu's digital transformation of medical insurance, ensuring that large models are both highly intelligent and secure and reliable.

03 Advancing National Development and People's Well-Being: Dual Engines of Supervision and Services Upgrade Medical Insurance

In this collaboration, Unisound will focus on core pain points in medical insurance operations, working along two dimensions - protecting fund security and upgrading public services - to deploy two AI agent applications and drive a profound shift in the medical insurance service model from supervision alone to the dual engines of supervision and services.

Strengthening Fund Security with a 24/7 "AI Auditor"

The project will build an intelligent review system based on electronic medical records, integrating multisource information such as medical record text, diagnosis and treatment data, pharmaceuticals and consumables, and medical insurance settlement data. Using NLP and large-model technologies for deep logical reasoning, the system will accurately identify potential violations under DRG/DIP, fee-for-service, and other payment models. This initiative not only fully implements closed-loop supervision requirements for medical insurance funds, but also achieves a major shift from post-event spot checks to in-process alerts and end-to-end closed-loop management. It will substantially enhance the depth and deterrent effect of supervision, safeguard the sustainability and fairness of the medical insurance system at its foundation, and directly respond to the General Secretary's explicit requirement for security and standardization.

Upgrading Public Health Services with Human-Centered Care in the Digital Age

The project will develop an intelligent health service AI agent. While strictly protecting data security and personal privacy, the agent will draw on medical insurance data and professional medical knowledge to create dynamic personal health records for insured individuals, provide personalized health assistant services, and generate precise individual health profiles. This innovative practice will powerfully advance the shift in healthcare from a disease-treatment-centered model to a people-centered health model, enabling every insured person to experience more precise, faster, and more compassionate medical insurance services. It vividly embodies the General Secretary's founding mission of "relieving all people of worries about medical care in the event of illness."

04 Rooted in Jiangsu, Scaling Nationwide: Leading a Paradigm Shift in Medical Insurance Governance

Winning the Jiangsu provincial medical insurance project marks a major milestone in Unisound's deep integration of cutting-edge AI technology with a vital area of national public well-being. From this starting point, Unisound will leverage the core capabilities of the Shanhai large model to help Jiangsu develop a replicable and scalable "Jiangsu Model" for smart medical insurance, while working to lead a paradigm shift in the sector from technology application to governance models.

Looking ahead, Unisound will remain true to its commitment to "empowering the real economy through technology," fully implement the General Secretary's important directives on medical insurance, and contribute more advanced technologies and higher-quality solutions to improving the healthcare security system with Chinese characteristics and enhancing the health and well-being of the people - making AI a strong bulwark protecting life and health.
