Ant Group’s AI healthcare app AQ offers AI-powered tools to help identify fraudulent medical ads and health misinformation
A new AI-powered section for identifying fraudulent medical ads and health misinformation is now live in the AQ app. Users can quickly verify whether a medical ad is trustworthy by uploading a photo, typing in text, or making a one-click voice call. The process is designed to be smooth, simple, and especially user-friendly for the elderly.
To further ensure reliable access to healthcare knowledge, Ant Group has teamed up with more than 300 renowned physicians across China to develop AI Doctor Agents within AQ, offering credible, authoritative medical advice. In addition, through Ant Group’s online consultation platform Haodf.com, more than 200,000 doctors are available to provide real-time, person-to-person medical consultations via AQ.
According to research from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, more than 40% of elderly people in China have fallen victim to scams involving fake health products, while 3 in 10 have been misled by medical misinformation.
Beyond digital tools, Ant Group also plans to organize thousands of in-person education sessions nationwide to raise awareness among seniors, protecting them from medical misinformation.
“In the age of AI, we are dedicated to combating false medical advertising and health misinformation with AQ, thus making healthcare more accessible and people’s lives healthier,” said Junjie Zhang, Vice President of Ant Group and Head of Healthcare Business.
AQ, officially launched in June 2025 after public testing began in September 2024, has already attracted 100 million users. The app is powered by Ant Group’s Healthcare Large Model, built on more than a decade of healthcare expertise. With advanced medical reasoning and multimodal interaction capabilities, the model has consistently ranked first in both the HealthBench and MedBench evaluations.
Through ongoing initiatives, Ant Group aims to support a more trustworthy and inclusive healthcare environment in China—improving the efficiency of limited medical resources and advancing medical inclusion for all.
