Alipay Unveils AI-Driven Skin Analysis Tool

At the 2025 Inclusion Bund Park Conference, Alipay's Ant AI Health Assistant AQ introduced groundbreaking features, headlined by its new "AI Smart Skin Analysis" capability. Users can now capture a photo of their face to instantly generate a comprehensive skin health report, complete with tailored skincare recommendations.

Expanding Health Management Innovations

This launch underscores Alipay's commitment to digital health solutions. Beyond skin analysis, AQ offers:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution assessment through tongue imaging

Compatible with leading smart devices (including Apple, Huawei, and vivo), the AI synthesizes data to deliver personalized health guidance.

Elderly-Focused Initiatives

Partnering with China Mobile, Alipay launched the "AI Anti-Scam and Fraud Hotline" (12599901). This service enables senior users to:

  • Consult AI doctors about suspicious communications
  • Receive emergency health guidance

The initiative addresses accessibility challenges in elderly healthcare.
