Ant Afu Steals Spotlight at Spring Festival Gala as Health App Goes Viral
Ant Afu Health App Gains National Attention During Spring Festival
The Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala featured an unexpected star this February - not just performers, but a digital health assistant called Ant Afu. The app made its debut in the comedy sketch "Blood Pressure Monitor," marking another tech brand's successful appearance on China's most-watched annual television event.
From Partnership to Prime Time
Just six days before its gala appearance, Ant Afu announced its collaboration with CCTV's Health Life program. Few expected this partnership would lead to prime-time exposure before hundreds of millions of viewers. "Health is happiness, ask A Fu for healthy matters" became the night's unofficial slogan as families gathered around their screens.

This Lunar New Year saw young people across China introducing their parents and grandparents to digital health management through Ant Afu. What began as casual family tech tutorials quickly became a nationwide phenomenon. The trend propelled the app to the top of download charts for three consecutive days leading up to New Year's Eve.
The appeal lies in Ant Fu's comprehensive approach - it partners with local health authorities nationwide, connecting users to over 5,000 hospitals and 300,000 verified doctors. From basic health questions to full digital healthcare services, the platform offers complete medical support chains.
