E-health solutions (products or services) play an important role in addressing many issues of the challenges. A market research in this study identifies 25 types of e-health solutions on current Chinese market. The solutions are developed by local competitors based on their technical strengths. Many of them are not widely accepted and used. An online survey is conducted to investigate the usefulness of the solutions in the perspective of the users. Based on the survey feedback, the solutions are ranked according to their degree of need by the Chinese consumers. The ranking provides the Chinese governments with some insights for their decision making to improve the healthcare system; and industry players with information for business opportunities. The Chinese experience would be references for e-health endeavours of other countries.
