The Aptos Foundation has announced a strategic investment in Universal Health Token (UHT), a Web3 project at the intersection of decentralized healthcare, blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI). The investment aims to support the development of next-generation health platforms powered by user-owned data and gamified wellness incentives.
According to a press release shared with crypto.news, the amount of the investment remains undisclosed, but the partnership represents a key step in Aptos Foundation’s broader mission to back real-world applications showcasing the potential of blockchain technology.
Proof-of-Health Meets Web3
Universal Health Token, a Singapore-based firm, is best known for its Proof-of-Health protocol, which uses blockchain and AI to promote preventive healthcare. The project leverages behavioral science to incentivize users to adopt healthy habits, awarding UHT tokens for actions such as exercise, sleep tracking, or completing health challenges.
The initiative is supported by GOQii, a health and fitness app that was the first to integrate UHT rewards, allowing users to redeem tokens for healthcare services, digital subscriptions, and wellness products.
“With Aptos’s scalable infrastructure and developer-first ecosystem, we’re pioneering a new era of healthcare, powered by user-owned health data,” said Agastya Samat, CEO of UHT. “From dynamic insurance to tokenized loyalty for healthy behaviors, we’re making preventive care more accessible, rewarding, and personalized.”
UHT to Launch on Aptos Blockchain
The announcement confirms that UHT will launch natively on the Aptos blockchain, taking advantage of its high throughput, low-latency architecture, and developer-focused tooling. With Aptos’ backing, UHT aims to accelerate its roadmap, including:
- Scaling its infrastructure
- Expanding global access
- Deepening gamified health engagement
- Enhancing AI integration
The investment adds to a growing list of Web3 supporters for UHT, including Animoca Brands, Polygon Ventures, and several digital health-focused investment funds. Last year, UHT launched ‘Health Adventure by UHT’, a Telegram-based health quiz game built in collaboration with GOQii.
A Growing Footprint for Aptos
This move also comes as Aptos gains traction in traditional finance circles. On March 6, Bitwise Asset Management filed a proposal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch the first-ever Aptos Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). If approved, the fund would offer institutional investors direct exposure to APT, the native token of the Aptos blockchain.
The Aptos Foundation’s involvement with UHT signals a growing focus on real-world utility, especially in critical sectors like healthcare, where decentralization, data ownership, and AI personalization can transform user engagement and access to care.
