Abstract: We retrieved the data on sexual-health internet hospitals from the Baidu Search Engine and Apple and Android APP Stores between August 2018 and September 2022.With the specialized Sexual-Health Internet Hospital affiliated to SPPH as an exam-ple,we analyzed its framework and system.It fully displays the closed-loop of medical service system of"doctor-patient-medicine-insurance-delivery",provides the protection of patients'privacy,offers comprehensive services,and manifests the values of socializa-tion,instrumentalization and commercialization.The booming of the internet medical industry in China is driven by national policies,and the rapid-rising of specialized internet hospitals largely stems from the clearer requirements of the state for regulation compliance and operation supervision.Against the background of the global spread of COVID-19,which has been demonstrated with a significant correlation to sexual health,only further rational and standardized management can ensure safe and efficient development of sexual-health internet hospitals to satisfy various health needs.
