Universal Health Token (UHT), the innovative team behind the Proof-of-Health protocol, has secured a strategic investment from Aptos Foundation to advance blockchain and AI in global healthcare solutions. The undisclosed investment is part of Aptos’ Foundation’s focus on supporting real-world applications being built on Aptos.
Aptos Foundation joins a growing list of UHT’s backers, which includes Animoca Brands, Polygon Ventures, and several other major Web3 and digital health funds. The increasing support reflects an industry-wide recognition of UHT’s ambitious goals and its potential for societal impact.
“The UHT team is combining AI-driven health tracking with blockchain to power incentives and transform how people engage with their well-being. We’re excited to see such innovative real-world applications being built on Aptos that have genuine potential to transform public health outcomes,” stated Ash Pampati, Head of Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation.
With this new backing, UHT aims to scale its infrastructure, expand global access, and accelerate partner integration as it continues to enhance its Proof-of-Health protocol, further integrating AI-powered health tracking and gamified engagement tools.
Real-World Impact
This investment marks a significant step for UHT in its position as a global leader in decentralized healthcare. It is one of the first healthcare-focused investments by the Aptos Foundation, known for its support for secure and scalable Layer 1 (L1) blockchain infrastructure.
“Aptos Foundation’s investment in UHT represents a groundbreaking moment for decentralized healthcare,” said Agastya Samat, Founder and CEO of UHT. “With Aptos’ cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure and our expertise in incentivized health engagement, we are positioned to redefine how people interact with healthcare, making it more personalized, data-driven, and community-centric.”
At the heart of UHT’s mission is the reimagining of health incentives. By integrating AI, behavioral science, and blockchain, UHT aims to empower individuals as they take ownership of their health data while incentivizing preventative health actions. The model addresses one of the most persistent issues in healthcare: the lack of alignment between institutional incentives and patient outcomes, and connects with the principles of the decentralized science (DeSci) movement.
GOQii Partnership
UHT’s collaboration with GOQii, a smart health platform with millions of users and paying subscribers, provides the protocol with real-world traction—a feat rarely seen in the Web3 healthcare sector.
“We’re excited to have Aptos Foundation’s support as we work alongside Universal Health Token to transform healthcare. Their investment enhances our joint mission to empower individuals and drive innovation in digital health,” stated Vishal Gondal, Founder & CEO, GOQii.
