Alipay Rolls Out Revolutionary Feature to Help Users Self-Diagnose Hair Loss Using AI Technology
Alipay, the Chinese e-payments giant, has entered the medical realm with a groundbreaking feature for its mobile app, aimed at assisting users in self-diagnosing hair loss using AI technology.
This innovative step caters to the needs of millions of individuals struggling with hair loss, providing them with a simple and effective means to test their condition and detect any early signs of concern.
In a nutshell, the app prompts users to upload four photos showcasing different parts of their scalp, including the top, sides, and back. The AI model “AntBrayer” then analyzes the images and compares them against thousands of real-world cases, furnishing users with an assessment of their hair health and recommendations on whether to consult a specialized physician.
The newly introduced hair loss detection feature has garnered widespread popularity among Chinese netizens, where approximately one in six individuals, or over 250 million people, experience hair loss issues, according to a survey conducted by China’s National Health Commission in 2020.
Kai Kehua, project director of the new tool, stated that the app can deliver timely warnings about the onset of hair loss in a scientific manner, emphasizing that it can help people steer clear of relying on folk remedies.
