Ant Group has initiated a comprehensive campaign through its AI healthcare application AQ to address the growing challenge of health misinformation in China. The company is placing particular emphasis on safeguarding elderly users. Research indicates a pressing need for such interventions, as approximately 40% of seniors in China have encountered fraudulent health schemes, and 30% have been exposed to misleading medical information.

Ant Group’s app incorporates artificial intelligence tools that allow individuals to verify the credibility of medical advertisements by submitting images, text, or voice queries. This is expected to streamline the process for those less familiar with digital platforms. Backed by over 200,000 physicians through Ant Group’s Haodf.com consultation service and supported by more than 300 specialists who helped develop AI Doctor Agents, the AI healthcare application AQ platform provides authoritative medical guidance to counteract medical misinformation.
