Global digital technology provider Ant Group has introduced its AI application, AQ, for accelerating its entry into the healthcare sector.

The app is designed to streamline users' daily healthcare management by offering more than 100 AI-driven services, encompassing doctor recommendations, medical report assessment, and tailored medical advice.

It facilitates connections between users and digital offerings from over 5,000 hospitals and close to a million doctors throughout China.

Ant Group CEO Cyril Han said: “Ant Group hopes that through AQ, it can provide everyone with a trusted healthcare manager, advancing inclusive healthcare and bringing every Chinese citizen one step closer to a healthier life.”

Driven by Ant Group's Healthcare Large Model, AQ draws on more than ten years of healthcare expertise.

This model features advanced medical reasoning and multimodal interaction capabilities while prioritising user privacy and security.

The Healthcare Large Model enables medical institutions and doctors to deliver more efficient, accessible, and tailored services.

In March 2025, Ant Group furthered its commitment by partnering with IT industry leaders to integrate the Healthcare Large Model into All-in-One Large Model Machines for Healthcare, allowing hospitals to deploy AI models securely on-premises.

Ant Group's contributions extend to assisting hospitals in creating user-facing applications.

For instance, Angel, an AI agent developed in Zhejiang Province, has already catered to more than 1,000 medical facilities and managed over 50 million user interactions.

The company also aids in the development of Yibaoer, an AI agent for medical insurance inquiries.

In January 2025, Ant Group acquired Haodf, enhancing its healthcare offerings with the AI Doctor Assistant, which aids in AI-assisted diagnosis and patient education.

Additionally, around 200 doctors are collaborating with Ant Group to develop AI Doctor Agents, providing healthcare advice to patients, especially those with limited medical access.
