Ant Group’s AI healthcare platform AQ introduces new features, including family health record sharing, to support chronic disease management and elderly care.

Since its public beta as an Alipay mini-program in September 2024 and official launch as an independent app in China in June 2025, the AQ platform has served 140 million users as of September 2025. It provides more than 100 AI-powered services, including doctor recommendations, medical report analysis, and personalized health guidance.

These developments come amid China’s ongoing demographic transformation. By around 2035, more than 400 million people, or over 30% of the population, are expected to be aged 60 or above, according to projections by China’s National Health Commission. The shift is expected to drive growing healthcare demand, with AI-powered solutions set to play a key role in addressing it.

Through AQ, users can access digital services from over 5,000 hospitals, online consultations with 200,000 doctors, and support from more than 300 AI Doctor Agents, co-developed with leading physicians and top hospital departments across China.

AQ has recently rolled out a range of new features focused on chronic disease management and elderly care, helping older adults better manage their daily health and move toward healthier lives with AI support:

  • Smart Data Recognition: Users can simply take a photo of their blood pressure monitor or blood glucose meter to receive intelligent data analysis, follow-up questions, and abnormal data alerts to ensure timely medical attention.
  • AI-Powered Blood Pressure Monitoring: In partnership with Yuwell, one of China’s leading home healthcare device providers, the two companies have jointly launched an AI-powered blood pressure monitor in China that automatically uploads data and generates weekly health reports—with users’ authorization—to support blood pressure management.
  • Medication Reminders: A new reminder function helps users with chronic conditions take their medication on time, reducing the risk of missed doses.
  • Family Health Sharing: AQ now enables real-time sharing of health records among family members, allowing children to access their parents’ medical histories and health check reports to better support their ongoing care.

Powered by Ant Group’s Healthcare Large Model, which builds on more than a decade of medical expertise, AQ features advanced medical reasoning and multimodal interaction capabilities. The model consistently ranks first in both HealthBench and MedBench evaluations.

Through continuous innovation, Ant Group remains committed to building a more trustworthy, efficient, and inclusive healthcare ecosystem in China, enhancing the effectiveness of limited medical resources and promoting medical inclusion for all.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release

Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact.

Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those

Brightfin Unifies Brand Following Proven Optics Merger, Delivering a New Standard for Technology Cost Optimization2.4.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release

New identity reflects expanded vision to help CIOs “See Clearly. Spend Better.” Brightfin today announced that, following its merger with Proven Optics, the combined company will operate under a single brand: Brightfin. The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend. Technology spending will exceed $6 Trillion this year, and for most organizations, it remains one of the least understood. CIOs can tell you what they’re spending. Far fewer can tell you whether it’s working. “Over the past several months, we’ve brought these two businesses together around a shared purpose: help enterprise businesses better understand and optimize their technology spend,” said Joel Martins, CEO of Brightfin. “What we are seeing now is a shift. Visibility alone isn’t enough. Teams need to be able to act, tied to real financial outcomes. See Clearly.
