In a move that underscores the growing intersection of technology and healthcare, Ant Group is accelerating its foray into AI-powered medical solutions. Today marks the launch of “AQ,” a dedicated AI health application, now available across major app stores.
The newly launched AQ app promises a user experience centered around “more professional answers, more comprehensive services, and a deeper understanding of your health,” according to the company.
The application addresses a common hurdle in healthcare: the difficulty in articulating symptoms. AQ, powered by Ant Group’s medical large language model, is designed to mimic a human doctor, asking follow-up questions to extract key information and provide more accurate and thorough health recommendations.
Users can also upload photos of complex medical reports, skin conditions, medication packaging, and medical records. For instance, the AI, backed by a visual language recognition system with trillions of parameters, can identify 50 common skin diseases and offer relevant health advice.
To assist users in navigating the healthcare system, AQ connects users with over 5,000 public hospitals and nearly a million doctors available for appointments or online consultations. The AI intelligently matches users’ needs with appropriate medical professionals.
Furthermore, “cloud-based companion” services are available in over 200 hospitals, with the AI guiding users during in-person medical visits.
Notably, AQ features “AI avatars” of leading specialists, including teams led by academic experts in dermatology and thoracic surgery. These AI doctors are available 24/7 to provide support and answer questions.
Catering to a broad user base, particularly the elderly, AQ allows voice calls for consultations with AI doctors.
For comprehensive health management, AQ provides personalized health records, storing data on medical visits, medication, exercise, and diet.
The application integrates with health management devices and wearable technology, offering tailored health insights based on data from devices. This includes providing AI-driven support for the management of chronic conditions.
The sophisticated capabilities of AQ stem from a robust technological foundation and the involvement of thousands of medical professionals.
The underlying technology, the Ant Medical Large Model, has been trained on a vast corpus of medical data, exceeding trillions of tokens. Possessing “medical reasoning” capabilities, the model is also equipped with multimodal interaction features for photos, voice, and videos. It has also achieved leading scores in independent, industry-standard benchmarks.
Incorporating Ant Group’s expertise in data privacy and security, the model has received top-level security certification.
The quality of the service is directly linked to the medical expertise behind it. Each AI doctor on AQ undergoes rigorous training and testing by medical professionals before being made available to the public.
Furthermore, a professional advisory board of leading experts from top hospitals contributes to the evaluation of the AI, ensuring accuracy and reliability of the service.
