Ping An Good Doctor (1833.HK) Reports Strong Interim Results: Revenue and Profit Accelerate as AI Fuels New Growth Momentum

HONG KONG, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ping An Healthcare and Technology Company Limited (“Ping An Good Doctor” or the “Company”; Stock Code: 1833.HK) announced its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the first half of 2025, the Company delivered steady operational performance, showcasing strong growth momentum with gains in both revenue and profitability. Total revenue reached RMB2.5 billion, an increase of 19.5% year-on-year, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose to RMB134 million, an increase of 136.8% year-on-year. Notably, revenue from the integrated finance business (“F-end”) and corporate clients (“B-end”) corporate health management business increased by 30.2% year-on-year, while the total number of paying users grew by 35.1% year-on-year.

Enhanced “Insurance + Health Care” Synergies Promoting the Growth of Core Businesses

As a flagship in Ping An Group’s health and senior care ecosystem, the Company has continued to deepen its “insurance + health care” synergistic model, strengthening collaboration with Ping An Group’s integrated finance business. In the corporate health management sector, it has partnered with other Group’s subsidiaries to develop an innovative “commercial insurance + health care fund + health care service” product ecosystem. This approach has significantly expanded its corporate customer base, delivering steady revenue growth and a comprehensive improvement in profit quality.

During the reporting period, the Company provided Ping An Group’s retail integrated financial customers with online and offline, one-stop, 24/7, proactive medical and senior care services. By advancing the “insurance + health and senior care membership” model and enriching medical and health services rights system across multiple scenarios, the Company steadily increased its service penetration among the Group’s nearly 245 million retail financial customers, achieving a 34.6% year-on-year increase in F-end paying users to approximately 20.0 million. The Company also strengthened its collaboration with Ping An Group’s subsidiaries, including Ping An Life Insurance, Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance, Ping An Health Insurance, and Ping An Bank, delivering notable synergies. In partnership with Ping An Life, the Company upgraded its “critical illness insurance + critical illness management” service and launched the “An You Hu” health service plan. This initiative offers comprehensive, one-stop critical illness management services, covering the entire treatment process, from suspected/confirmed diagnoses, surgery arrangements, postoperative treatment to rehabilitation follow-ups. As of the end of March 2025, Ping An Group’s retail integrated financial customers using services from its health and senior care ecosystem had 1.6 times more contracts and 4 times higher AUM per capita than non-users of these services.

In recent years, under the guidance of the “Healthy China” national strategy, the government has supported and encouraged employers to standardize employee health management. The medical security system, from “basic medical insurance” to “supplementary medical insurance” and “health management,” has been continuously improving. This has significantly heightened corporate awareness of the importance of employee health management. As part of its strategic focus, the Company has continued to provide professional, comprehensive, high-quality, and one-stop employee health management services to corporate clients through the “Ping An Corporate Health Protection Plan.” The Company has enhanced operational precision to boost user engagement. Online, it provides end-to-end proactive health management and medical services through family doctors, while offline, it organizes a variety of in-company health activities to improve service visibility and employee satisfaction. Building on the Group’s extensive corporate client base, the Company has also actively expanded its independent sales channels, driving rapid growth in its corporate health management business. During the period, B-end paying corporate clients totaled more than 3,500, and the number of B-end paying users exceeded 3.60 million, up 39.2% year on year.

Upgrading Product and Service Capabilities to Strengthen Healthcare and Senior Care Ecosystem

During the reporting period, the Company remained customer-centric, solidifying its ecosystem and product capabilities while upgrading its service network to continuously enhance its full-scenario service capabilities.

Through its strategic pillars of “family doctor” and “senior care concierge”, the Company continues to provide users with proactive, one-stop medical, health, and senior care services throughout the life cycle. During the reporting period, the Company launched its annual medical and health services brand, encompassing “Proactive Family Doctor Care, Zero-Distance Access to Renowned Doctors, and Full-Journey Medical Management.” This offering is powered by family doctors certified by both Peking University International Hospital and the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA), creating a comprehensive service system that includes one-on-one contracts, medical record analysis, and proactive follow-ups. The system is designed to deliver differentiated care for four key demographic groups. The Company also enhanced the service capabilities of its senior care concierge to address medical and nursing needs, expanded offerings such as Ping An’s global emergency assistance and professional in-home care provided by care managers, and collaborated with industry, academia, and research institutions to advance the standardization of home-based senior care. During the reporting period, the Company had a family doctor membership of over 35 million, while the number of users entitled to home-based senior care service increased by approximately 83% year-on-year. The service now covers 85 cities and has implemented five group standards.

Additionally, to provide broad-coverage, high-quality, and cost-effective services to users, the Company continued to build its medical, health, and senior care service network. During the reporting period, the Company further expanded its “online, in-store, in-home, and in-company” service network. The Company had about 50,000 in-house doctors and contracted external doctors across 37 specialties, with over 3,200 renowned doctors. The Company has partnered with over 4,000 hospitals, 106,000 health service providers, 240,000 pharmacies, and more than 100 senior care service institutions.

Accelerating AI-Powered Healthcare Applications to Drive Scale and Efficiency

Leveraging its “data + model + scenario” closed-loop advantage, the Company strengthened its capabilities in AI-driven healthcare services and accelerated the application of its solutions. It continued to enhance its large multi-modal model, Ping An Medical Master®, based on Ping An’s six world-leading medical databases as well as data from 1.44 billion consultations. Building on this foundation —and with further optimization of five vertical models for key medical scenarios—the Company introduced the “7+N+1” AI medical product system during the reporting period. The suite includes Renowned Doctor Digital Avatar, AI Family Doctor, AI Senior Care Concierge, AI Clinics, AI Health Manager, AI Chronic Disease Manager, and AI Health Benefit Officer, providing intelligent decision support across the entire process and all scenarios. Notably, the Company innovatively launched a multidisciplinary team (MDT) consultation assistance platform for complex diseases, which has been applied to breast cancer, providing users with diagnostic and treatment assistance throughout the entire process from treatment to recovery. This significantly improves the efficiency and experience of medical care for complex diseases and will be extended to more disease types in the future. Through AI empowerment, the accuracy rate of AI-assisted consultations reached approximately 98%, while the accuracy of MDT treatment plans for complex diseases approached 80%. Daily service capacity for AI doctors reached 4.0 million visits. Additionally, AI has helped reduce the average service cost per family doctor user by about 52% and improved the operational efficiency of the business middle platform by around 50%.

In the first half of the year, Ping An Good Doctor revamped its brand, marking a significant milestone for Ping An Group’s “worry-free, time-saving, and money-saving” initiative and a crucial step in implementing the “insurance + health care” synergistic model in the healthcare service sector. Mr. Li Dou, Chairman and CEO of the Company, stated, “Looking ahead, we will seize policy opportunities, adhere to the essence of medicine, and remain guided by the customer needs-oriented approach. We strive to become the most professional ‘family doctor and senior care concierge’ for our vast customer base, doing everything possible to be ‘worry-free, time-saving, and money-saving’, and providing long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders and society.”

Its ultra-lightweight architecture enables faster over-the-air updates, lower power consumption, and seamless integration across a wide range of vehicle platforms, from entry-level ADAS to high-end autonomous systems.

Looking ahead, STRADVISION is advancing its multi-year innovation roadmap with the development of SVNet MultiVision Gen 2. This next-generation platform, set to debut as a prototype at CES 2026 and launch in 2027, will integrate expanded 360° camera coverage, HD-Mapless autonomous navigation, and next-gen neural networks capable of adaptive self-learning. Designed to scale from Level 2 driver assistance to fully autonomous Level 4 applications, it will offer OEMs unprecedented flexibility and performance. Importantly, MultiVision Gen 2 is architected not only for advanced perception, but also as a full end-to-end (E2E) solution encompassing perception, planning, and control. OEMs and Tier-1s can deploy it as a complete stack or flexibly integrate its validated perception module as a standalone component if required.

By fusing deep learning, advanced computer vision, and end-to-end model optimization, STRADVISION is redefining what’s possible in automotive perception — accelerating the path toward safer, smarter, and more autonomous vehicles worldwide.

Monport AutoForge Goes Live on Kickstarter to Bring Automation and Speed for Every Engraving Project

NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Monport Laser today launched AutoForge, the world’s first auto-load laser engraver designed to make metal business card engraving, bulk tag production, and customized gifts faster and easier than ever before. Now live on Kickstarter, AutoForge blends automation, batch processing, and multi-laser precision to give small businesses, workshops, and makers a true competitive edge.

Back AutoForge on Kickstarter today.

Hands-Free Metal Business Card Engraving

With its AutoLoad + AutoFlow system, AutoForge is a breakthrough for engraving machines used for metal business cards. Users can stack stainless steel or aluminum blanks, and AutoForge automatically loads, aligns, and engraves each card with perfect accuracy.

This means:

  • Batch metal business card engraving without manual resets
  • High-speed engraving at 10,000 mm/s on a 230 × 230 mm work area
  • Consistent, professional finishes across hundreds of engraved business cards

Whether for corporate branding, luxury business cards, or bulk promotional projects, AutoForge delivers production-line efficiency in a single compact system.

See AutoForge engrave metal business cards in action here: Monport AutoForge Preview

Three Configurations for Every Laser Engraving Project

AutoForge adapts to different industries and projects beyond metal business card engraving:

  • AutoForge XPro (Dual Laser) – A 30W Fiber Laser for deep metal engraving (ideal for business cards, dog tags, and industrial labels) plus a 20W Diode Laser for wood, leather, and non-coated metals.
  • AutoForge MOPA 60W – Specializes in color engraving with 100+ vibrant hues on stainless steel, titanium, and anodized aluminum business cards.
  • AutoForge UV 5W – Perfect for glass gifts, subsurface crystal work, and fine engraving on plastics.

Compare AutoForge models & configurations: Monport AutoForge Details

Why AutoForge Stands Out in Metal Business Card Production

Unlike traditional fiber laser engraving machines, AutoForge is the only laser engraver with an automated material handling system. For metal business card engraving, this means businesses no longer need to manually position each blank — the machine does the heavy lifting.

Key advantages include:

  • One-click batch engraving of hundreds of business cards in a single run
  • Multi-feeder support for simultaneous engraving
  • ForgeSight Align + SafeLaser Preview for pin-point precision on small surfaces
  • Scalability — from engraving a dozen samples to fulfilling bulk orders

Real-World Business Impact

AutoForge isn’t just a machine — it’s a growth tool. Small engraving shops can produce hundreds of premium metal business cards per day without adding labor costs, while marketing agencies can offer luxury engraved business cards as a high-value service. Jewelry makers, promotional product suppliers, and corporate branding firms can also tap into AutoForge’s batch automation to increase output and margins.

By combining fiber laser power for metal business card engraving with the versatility of diode and UV lasers, AutoForge enables entrepreneurs to expand their product lines and enter new markets with ease.

Anycubic at 10: A Decade Forged by Makers, Inspired by Users

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Anycubic celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, marking a decade of growth from a small Shenzhen startup into a trusted companion for millions of creators across more than 200 countries. This journey has been defined not only by technology, but by listening to and evolving with its users.

Anycubic at 10: A Decade Forged by Makers, Inspired by Users
Anycubic at 10: A Decade Forged by Makers, Inspired by Users

Listening, Learning, Evolving

The journey hasn’t been about leaps alone, but about listening—to educators, artists, engineers, and hobbyists. Products such as the Photon resin series and the Kobra FDM line were shaped through extensive feedback and iteration. The introduction of technologies like the ACE Pro, with its multi-color capabilities and seamless stability, came not from a lab alone, but from conversations with makers who needed more from their tools.

Today, over 4.4 million Anycubic printers power classrooms, studios, and workshops worldwide—not as finished answers, but as starting points for ideas yet to be imagined.

A Celebration of Community

To honor this milestone, Anycubic is gathering with its global community:

  • A Global AMA on Reddit (Aug 19–23), where leaders including CTO James Ouyang, VP Ancen Zhang, and Technical Manager Barry will engage in open dialogue with users.
  • A 10th Anniversary Meet-Up in Istanbul (Aug 21), bringing together local users, partners, and creators to share stories and inspiration.

Looking Forward: The Anycubic Dream

The next decade begins with the “Anycubic Dream” initiative—a 10-year global program to donate 10,000 printers to educators, makers, and innovators, especially those who might not otherwise have access. Participants will be invited to share their visions and join a growing network of Anycubic Dreamers, showing how imagination and technology together can create real impact.

This vision is reinforced by the MakerOnline platform, where challenges like Color Our World 2.0 encourage creators to connect, collaborate, and showcase their work.

The challenge runs until August 29, with cash prizes and Anycubic printers awaiting the most creative entries. 

“Ten years feels less like an endpoint and more like a foundation,” said James Ouyang, co-founder and CTO of Anycubic. “What we’ve built so far is only a preview of what this community can do.”

With Gratitude

As a thank-you, Anycubic is launching 10th Anniversary promotions, community activities, and creative campaigns—an invitation to makers everywhere to keep building the future, together.

About Anycubic

Founded in 2015, Anycubic has grown into one of the world’s leading 3D printing companies, serving millions of users in over 200 countries and regions. Known for its innovative and reliable machines, Anycubic empowers creators everywhere to transform ideas into reality.

Michter’s Continues Its Toasted Barrel Finish Series With Launch of 2025 Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This September, Michter’s will release its US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey. This whiskey is part of Michter’s series of whiskeys finished in toasted uncharred barrels.

Michter’s Continues Its Toasted Barrel Finish Series With Launch of 2025 Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash
Michter’s Continues Its Toasted Barrel Finish Series With Launch of 2025 Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash

“In 2014 our Michter’s team didn’t realize that we were putting the Toasted Uncharred Barrel Finish category on the map when we released our bourbon finished in a second barrel that was toasted but not charred and named it Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon,” stated Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “This 2025 release of Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey is really special.”

The 2025 release of Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey follows on the heels of releases of Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon and Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Rye. “At Michter’s, we value American whiskey making traditions, but we are always experimenting and looking for innovative ways to make great whiskeys. We’re proud that we were able to show how good fully matured whiskey finished in a second barrel that was toasted but not charred can be. The second toasted only barrel really complements the flavors of the Sour Mash and deepens the rich honey, burnt sugar, and citrus spice notes with smoky vanilla reminiscent of a cozy campfire,” observed Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.

Like the highly acclaimed Michter’s US*1 Sour Mash, which in 2019 earned the honor of being the first American whiskey named Whisky of the Year by UK-based The Whisky Exchange, Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash is 86 proof (43% ABV). Its U.S. suggested retail price is $110 per 750ml bottle.

Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee commented, “Our Sour Mash Whiskey is an interesting whiskey that has the attributes of a really good bourbon yet finishes a bit like a rye. It’s a whiskey that is a terrific candidate for finishing in the second barrel that is toasted but not charred.”

In October 2024, Michter’s became the first whiskey to be named in two consecutive years The World’s Most Admired Whiskey by a vote of an international academy of voters announced by UK-based Drinks International. Michter’s has a rich and long legacy of offering traditional American whiskeys of uncompromising quality. With each of its limited production offerings aged to its peak maturity, Michter’s highly acclaimed portfolio includes bourbon, rye, sour mash whiskey, and American whiskey.

1inch pioneers Solana cross-chain swaps, unlocking seamless interoperability

  • 1inch now enables trustless, MEV-protected cross-chain swaps between Solana and 12+ EVM networks without relying on bridges and unsafe messaging protocols.
  • Users and developers can access new swaps via the 1inch dApp, Wallet, and Fusion+ API for seamless DeFi interoperability.

DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 1inch, the leading DEX aggregator, launches industry-first native decentralized cross-chain swaps between Solana and all major EVM networks – without relying on bridges and messaging protocols. This milestone marks a major leap in 1inch’s mission to unify DeFi into one interoperable experience.


Solana cross-chain swaps are now live via the 1inch dApp, 1inch Wallet, and 1inch Fusion+ APIs. This release lets users seamlessly move assets between Solana and 12+ EVM chains in a secure, efficient, and MEV-protected way.

Why it matters

For the first time, users can swap assets directly between Solana and EVM networks, without using bridges. Key benefits are:

–  Bulletproof security: with no need for bridges or messaging protocols, this is the safest way to move assets onto and off Solana.
–  Seamless execution: allows users to sign and post their trade, letting resolvers compete to fulfill it under the best conditions.
–  The best rates: with unmatched liquidity and MEV protection by design.

Pioneering native decentralized cross-chain swaps

A few months ago, 1inch added support for Solana, leveraging its low-latency block times and robust ecosystem. Now, with full cross-chain capability, the fragmentation between Solana and EVM ecosystems is finally addressed.

“Solana’s speed and efficiency made it an ideal candidate for our next frontier in cross-chain swaps,” said Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder. “By removing the need for bridges and messaging protocols such as LayerZero or Chainlink CCIP, we’re delivering a fundamentally safer and smoother cross-chain experience.”

1inch’s cross-chain Solana functionality also delivers a significant boost to the entire Solana ecosystem, ending Solana’s isolation from other blockchains and transforming it into a full-fledged DeFi hub by bringing in new liquidity and users.

Solana tokens can now be traded directly against assets on EVM networks, opening the ecosystem to users who have never interacted with Solana before.

For users and builders alike

Solana cross-chain swaps are now fully supported across all 1inch products:

  • 1inch dApp – for seamless user-friendly swaps.
  • 1inch Wallet – for mobile-first users managing assets on the go.
  • 1inch Fusion+ API – enabling developers to integrate trustless Solana<>EVM swaps in their own projects.

This opens up new liquidity pathways and trading opportunities, allowing DeFi participants to operate across previously siloed ecosystems – with no extra steps.

What’s next

Meanwhile, 1inch’s mission to unify the DeFi space continues, with plans underway to add support for more non-EVM chains. The journey toward a more efficient and user-friendly DeFi experience moves forward!
