The Aptos Foundation has invested in Universal Health Token to accelerate the use of blockchain and Artificial Intelligence in decentralized healthcare solutions, according to a press release shared by the organization.

As part of Aptos’ ongoing effort to support real-world applications that showcase the potential of blockchain technology, the nonprofit announced an “undisclosed investment” in Universal Health Token, a Singapore-based firm behind the Proof-of-Health protocol.

The protocol combines AI-powered health tracking with blockchain to create a system that rewards users for healthy behavior with tokens that can be redeemed for digital services and healthcare-related products.

The project also features a partnership with GOQii, a leading health and fitness application in Southeast Asia, which was the first full health and fitness app to add UHT’s tokens.

“We’re grateful for the Aptos Foundation’s support in helping us to quickly deploy our vision,” said Agastya Samat, CEO of Universal Health Token. “With Aptos’s scalable infrastructure and developer-first ecosystem, we’re pioneering a new era of healthcare, powered by user-owned health data. From dynamic insurance to tokenized loyalty for healthy behaviors, we’re making preventive care more accessible, rewarding, and personalized. Aptos’ support across product, ecosystem, and growth makes them the perfect chain to support bringing this vision to live.”

Universal Health Token is integrating blockchain and behavioral science to create a system that encourages people to take control of their health data and engage in healthier lifestyles through incentives.

The project combines several Web3 trends, including the interest in decentralized protocols and the growing demand for move-to-earn and play-to-earn models. This has led to securing support from several high-profile Web3 players, including Animoca Brands, Polygon Ventures, and other digital health-focused funds.

Last year, the protocol also launched a quiz-driven game ‘Health Adventure by UHT’ on Telegram in partnership with GOQii.

In related news, Aptos is making headlines in traditional finance circles. On Monday, asset manager Bitwise filed for an Aptos ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If approved, it would be the first fund to give traditional investors direct exposure to APT, the native token of the Aptos blockchain.
