London-based digital health company Medopad Ltd. has signed over 100 million pounds ($141 million) in commercial projects and partnerships with Chinese firms, the company said Thursday.

Among the 15 different partnerships and projects the company announced were a collaboration with China’s Tencent Holdings to use artificial intelligence to support doctors’ decision-making, as well as deals with China Resources, Ping An Good Doctor, Lenovo New Vision, GSK China, UMP Healthcare Holdings Ltd., and Johnson & Johnson’s Vision Care division in Shanghai and its Actelion China pharmaceutical company.
