In-depth Report

Ant Afu is an AI health assistant application under Ant Group. It was upgraded and renamed from the original "AQ application" in December 2025. It is positioned as an "AI health friend" and provides users with free and fast health Q&A and physical examination report interpretation services. This product integrates three functional modules: health question and answer, health companionship, and health services. It supports multi-modal input of voice, text, and pictures. Currently, it has 30 million monthly active users.
Ant Afu is developed and operated by Ant Group and is part of the Alibaba ecosystem. On December 15, 2025, the original AI health application AQ was officially upgraded and renamed "Ant Afu". "Afu" means "health is blessing". The product relies on Ant Group's technological accumulation in the fields of financial technology and artificial intelligence, integrates the medical and health professional knowledge map, and provides users with one-stop health management services. Ant Group is China's leading digital payment platform and financial technology company, with a large user base and technology research and development capabilities. The launch of Ant Afu marks Ant Group’s official layout of the AI health track and creates a synergistic effect with the existing Alipay Health.
Ant Afu provides three core functional modules: Health Q&A: Provide free, instant and professional AI health consultation services for common symptoms in daily life (such as headaches, chest tightness and other disease anxiety), interpretation of drug side effects, interpretation of test reports, etc. Users can ask questions via text or voice, and AI will give professional responses within seconds. Interpretation of physical examination report: This is the core differentiated function of the product. Users can take photos or upload physical examination reports through the App, and AI can analyze various indicators in real time, using four-color lights of "red, yellow, blue, and green" to visually identify issues that require attention, and provide a personalized health action list (such as which department to go to for review, how to exercise, etc.). In May 2026, Ant Afu launched the "Healthy China Physical Examination Care Action" and plans to provide free interpretation of physical examination reports to 100 million people. Health Companion: Provides personal and family health file management services, supports the sharing of health data among family members, and establishes a long-term health tracking system. It also provides health science content and health advice. Technical highlights: Ant Afu’s image recognition capabilities support a variety of medical document types: physical examination reports, medical cases, prescriptions, medicine box photos, etc. can all be photographed and recognized. The product uses multi-modal fusion technology, combining image recognition and natural language processing to provide accurate health advice. The product also has an AI medical anti-counterfeiting function, helping users identify false health information and providing a pure, ad-free question and answer environment. Usage scenarios: preliminary self-diagnosis for ordinary users when they feel unwell in daily life; detailed interpretation of indicators after physical examination; long-term health monitoring of patients with chronic diseases; health file management of family members (elderly, children).
The basic functions of Ant Afu are currently open to users free of charge, including free interpretation services of physical examination reports. The product adopts a "free value-added" business model, and advanced services that may be launched in the future include: specialist consultation, appointment registration, overseas medical treatment and other value-added services. The target user groups are: urban white-collar workers and middle-class family users aged 25-55, sub-healthy people who are especially concerned about health, and working professionals who have physical examination habits but cannot read reports.
Users generally praise it in three aspects: first, free interpretation of physical examination reports, which solves the urgent need of "cannot understand the report"; second, fast response speed, you can get a professional reply within seconds; third, easy operation, you can get the interpretation by taking a photo and uploading it. Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Beijing You'an Hospital, once affirmed Ant Afu's professionalism and believed that it "makes health services more universally accessible." Some users reported that the limitation of AI answers is that it cannot completely replace a doctor's consultation, and it is recommended that severe symptoms still require medical treatment. In addition, some users hope to add linkage functions with real doctors.
In the AI health assistant track, Ant Afu's main competitors include: traditional Internet medical platforms such as Ping An Good Doctor, Lilac Doctor, and WeDoctor, as well as Internet hospital services launched by various tertiary hospitals. Ant Afu’s differentiated advantages lie in its huge customer acquisition capabilities brought by Ant Group’s traffic portal (Alipay), its free strategy’s appeal to users, and its AI-driven ultra-fast response experience. In May 2026, mainstream media such as Xinhuanet and NetEase successively reported on Ant Afu's "Physical Examination Care Action", which increased brand awareness.
Medical compliance risks: AI health assistants provide auxiliary advice and cannot replace professional medical diagnosis. Products need to continue to strengthen risk warnings to prevent users from mistaking AI recommendations as medical advice. Privacy and security: Users’ health data is highly sensitive personal information, and data security and privacy protection are issues that products must pay attention to. Ant Group needs to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements such as the Personal Information Protection Act. Risks of AI hallucinations: The health field has extremely high requirements for accuracy, and there may be a risk of incorrect answers from AI, so a strict content review mechanism needs to be established.
Suitable for people: daily health managers, professionals who need to interpret physical examination results, patients with chronic diseases and their families, and young users who need quick health consultation. Not suitable for: patients with acute severe illness (it is recommended to seek medical treatment immediately), patients with mental illness who need professional psychological intervention, infants and young children with emergencies (it is recommended to go to the hospital directly). Suggestions for use: Ant Afu is suitable as the "first line of defense" for health management, for preliminary understanding of health problems and obtaining advice. If AI recommends further examination or symptoms persist, please be sure to go to a regular medical institution for treatment.
As Ant Group's strategic product to enter the AI health track, Ant Afu has quickly accumulated 30 million monthly active users with its free physical examination report interpretation and convenient AI question and answer services. Its advantage lies in Ant Group’s traffic support and AI technology accumulation, while its challenge lies in medical compliance and content accuracy control. In the increasingly fierce competition in the AI health assistant track, whether Ant Afu can continue to grow depends on whether it can strike a balance between professionalism and user experience.

I just finished a physical examination with my parents, and the report interpreted by Afu was actually clearer than my expert account! The red, yellow, blue and green lights are clear at a glance and learned.

The function of free interpretation of physical examination reports is really great. I used to throw away the physical examination forms every year if I couldn't understand them. Now I finally know where I am.

Asked a question about blood sugar, Afu not only explained the meaning of the indicator, but also gave dietary suggestions, which was a hundred times better than Baidu.

yyds! After downloading the APP for the elderly at home, they can operate it themselves without having to ask me every time if I am too busy.

I've been using it for two months and overall it's OK. However, I still don't trust AI for some professional issues. I suggest it be used as a reference. If you really have any problems, you still have to go to the hospital.

I got to know this APP while watching the Spring Festival Gala, and I downloaded it for my grandma during the Chinese New Year. She uses it better than me! Now I use it every day to check my blood pressure knowledge, it’s amazing.

The physical examination report is uploaded and the results are available instantly, as well as a personalized health list. This wave has really made friends.

The response speed is really fast. You don’t have to wait in line to get an appointment. This function has surpassed many registration platforms!

I have been using Ping An Good Doctor before. After comparison, Afu is more down-to-earth. The key is that it is free! The prostitution party is ecstatic.

I helped my dad interpret his fatty liver report. It turned out that he could figure out whether it was serious or not without going to the hospital. I was moved to tears.

After using it for two weeks, I would like to express my feelings: the health questions and answers are very practical, the physical examination interpretation is very clear, and the family files are very convenient. The only drawback is that some professional terms are still too academic and need improvement.

Afu, save my dog’s life! Last week, chest tightness made a group of people afraid to go to the hospital in the middle of the night. After questioning Ah Fu, they found out that it was a false alarm caused by anxiety. Fortunately, I didn't go to the emergency room in the middle of the night.

I have installed this APP on my parents’ mobile phones, and it is not that difficult for the elderly to learn it. It is much more reliable than asking them to search online.

I discovered a treasure feature: you can create health records for your family! Parents’ physical examination reports can be managed in a unified manner, which is practical!

To be honest, as a medical student, I usually understand a lot of basic knowledge, but I can’t bear the elders at home asking me all the time. Now I can just let Ah Fu take the exam, so it saves my worries!

I look forward to being able to access the appointment registration function in the future, so that I can be a real health manager.

I asked Ah Fu whether he could drink coffee, and he answered in detail and also gave some health advice. It was a good deal.

A friend asked if Afu is reliable. My experience is: it’s okay to ask about daily health issues, but when it comes to taking medicine, you still have to follow the doctor’s advice.

Today I uploaded the physical examination report of the whole family and got it done at once! It is much cheaper than hiring a private health consultant. The student party was moved to tears.

At first I thought it was an IQ tax, but after using it I realized it smells really good! Especially the physical examination report interpretation function is simply prepared for people like us who throw away all the physical examination forms every year.
