# Health Touchpoint: The WeChat Account That Turns Medical Jargon Into Your Daily Health Companion
It’s 8:30 AM on Monday morning. Li Na, a 32-year-old marketing manager in Shanghai, slumps into her office chair, rubbing her stiff neck. For, she’s been scrolling through conflicting health posts online: one says “drink 8 glasses of water daily,” another claims “that’s a myth people with kidney issues”; one advocates “standing desks cure back pain,” another warns “they can cause foot problems.” Frustrated, she opens her We and taps on the “Health Touchpoint” official account—her go-to source for reliable health advice. Today’s article, titled “3 Scienceacked Stretches to Fix Office Neck Pain in 5 Minutes,” catches her eye. She follows the step-by-step photos (taken by the account physiotherapist team) and does the stretches while waiting for her laptop to boot up. By midday, her neck feels less tight. That evening she joins the account’s WeChat group for sub-health users and posts: “The stretches worked! Thanks, Dr. Wang!” Within 15, Dr. Wang—founder of Health Touchpoint—replies with a personalized tip: “Try adding a 1-minute shoulder roll every hour Your neck will thank you.”
