Alipay, the popular Chinese mobile payment service by Ant Group, has introduced a new feature for hair loss testing using artificial intelligence (AI). Users can upload four pictures of their head to self-test for balding and receive recommendations on whether to seek medical advice.
Powered by Ant’s AntBrayer multimodal model, the platform combines language and image recognition to provide accurate results. Alipay, competing with WeChat Pay, is enhancing its app with diverse functionalities including finance, lifestyle, healthcare, and social features.
The hair loss checker has garnered attention in China, where stress, pollution, and unhealthy lifestyles have contributed to a rise in hair-related issues. Developed in collaboration with hair loss experts in Hangzhou, the tool offers scientific warnings for early detection of hair loss, reducing reliance on traditional remedies.
Alipay’s AI health services, including medical assistants and over 30 different service categories, aim to revolutionize user experience. With a growing focus on health and wellness, Alipay’s innovative features continue to resonate with users seeking convenience and reliable healthcare solutions.
