On September 12, 2025, at the 2025 Inclusion Bund Summit, AQ—an AI-powered health app developed by Ant Group—unveiled a host of new features. One standout addition is the "AI-Driven Smart Skin Analysis" tool. With this, users can snap a full-face selfie and instantly receive a detailed skin quality report along with tailored skincare recommendations. Beyond skin analysis, the app also lets users evaluate their Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution by taking a photo of their tongue coating. Additionally, users can assess their risk of hair loss by photographing their hair.
Meanwhile, AQ's health records system has undergone a significant upgrade. It now seamlessly integrates medical information, medication history, dietary habits, exercise routines, and other relevant data. The system supports data interoperability with smart devices from 10 leading brands, such as Apple and Huawei. This integration allows AI to analyze the data and offer personalized health advice.
Furthermore, AQ has teamed up with China Mobile to introduce the "AI Anti-Fraud Hotline." This feature enables elderly users to make a one-click call to an AI doctor, who can help them identify suspicious information and address sudden health concerns. Since the launch of its beta version last September, AQ has attracted over 140 million users, with nearly 60% hailing from third-tier and lower cities, counties, and rural areas. The app has emerged as a significant player in promoting the decentralization of medical resources.
