Tether, the creator of the $186 billion USDT stablecoin, is expanding its reach beyond cryptocurrency with a new privacy-centric health and wellness application.
On Wednesday, the company launched QVAC Health, developed on its AI platform to empower users in tracking their fitness, nutrition, and biometric data across multiple devices.
The application enables users to oversee their health data—such as step counts, sleep patterns, and workout statistics—while keeping it offline and encrypted on their personal devices, avoiding commercial servers and data harvesting for advertising, according to the firm.
“QVAC Health represents our dedication to privacy-enhancing local intelligence,” stated Tether CEO Paolo Arodino. “Users should not have to compromise between utilizing the best available technology and safeguarding their privacy. We are dismantling the barriers within Big Tech environments, allowing you to have a comprehensive view of your health.”
This initiative signifies Tether’s ongoing commitment to decentralized technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), moving beyond the financial and digital asset domains. Tether has also created QVAC, a decentralized AI platform designed to deploy agents and applications fully on devices, circumventing centralized cloud systems.
Earlier this week, Tether announced its investment in an Italian firm, Generative Bionics, as part of a €70 million ($81.5 million) funding round. This company focuses on developing advanced AI-driven humanoid robots, with plans for industrial rollout as early as next year.
Prior to that, Tether acquired a majority stake in Blackrock Neurotech, a brain-computer interface company, for $200 million.
