Ant’s AQ expands beyond weight loss as health app reaches 150 million users
Ant Group's AQ health app has reached 150 million users. The company reported this milestone at the 2026 Inclusion Conference on the Bund. AQ now handles nearly 20 million health inquiries each day. Ant announced plans to expand its health services beyond weight management. New areas include exercise, diet, sleep, and mental well-being. The app also added a dedicated "Health" section to its homepage, reflecting this broader focus. This move signals Ant's continued investment in digital health solutions for a wide user base.
Ant's AQ app has quietly built a massive user base. Its 150 million users and 20 million daily inquiries show strong demand for AI-assisted health information. The platform's success with 55% of users in smaller cities and 25% older adults points to its accessibility. This broad appeal extends beyond early tech adopters.
The campaign to lose 50 million kilograms is a smart play. It combines smart hardware with AI guidance. This model gives AQ a scalable way to deliver personalized health plans. It also creates new revenue streams for partners like Huawei, Apple, Xiaomi, and Yuwell.
The test for AQ is whether it can sustain engagement beyond weight loss. Its expansion into sleep and chronic disease management will show if the platform can become a daily health utility. If it succeeds, it could set a new standard for AI-driven health management across Asia.
