Ant Group says its AI-powered health application AQ has reached 150 million users, an increase of 50% in eight months, and now handles close to 20 million health inquiries a day. Its scope is expanding from doctor discovery, booking and consultation into daily weight, sleep, nutrition, activity and mental-wellbeing support.

The platform connects wearable devices and provides personalized reminders. Ant Group also says 2.75 million people have participated in its weight-management program.

Why this matters for Saudi healthcare

Digital platforms want to own the patient relationship before illness and after a visit. Hospitals can respond with continuous-care programs that connect reliable education, reminders, follow-up and booking, while protecting privacy and keeping automated recommendations inside safe clinical boundaries.

Karim's strategic takeaway

Success should be measured through adherence, outcomes and completed care—not daily active users alone. Trust grows when convenience is paired with clinical limits and clear responsibility.
