Tether, known for issuing the largest stablecoin globally, has unveiled a new wellness application named QVAC Health. This app aims to provide a privacy-first alternative to existing health tracking solutions like Apple Health. Released on December 10, 2025, QVAC Health aggregates data from various fitness trackers and wearables into a secure, encrypted dashboard that operates offline.
The innovative app employs on-device artificial intelligence to evaluate health metrics, dietary habits, and physical activities without transmitting any personal data to external servers or cloud platforms. This design ensures that users retain full control over their biometric information, aligning with Tether”s commitment to privacy-preserving technologies.
QVAC Health is compatible with devices such as the Oura Ring and integrates seamlessly with nutrition applications. It not only tracks activity levels but also monitors meals and medication usage. An exciting feature includes experimental computer vision tools that can estimate caloric intake and macronutrients based on photographs of food, further enhancing user engagement and insight into health trends.
Tether”s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized the platform”s role as a “neutral ground for wellness data,” reflecting the company”s strategic pivot towards consumer health technology. By eliminating reliance on cloud services, QVAC Health aims to set a new standard for privacy in health applications. The app”s architecture involves peer-to-peer model downloads for its AI functionalities, and upcoming updates will enable direct Bluetooth connections to compatible wearables. This will allow the app to access data without depending on manufacturer APIs.
This launch is part of Tether”s broader diversification strategy beyond its core activities in stablecoins. Recently, Tether participated in a €70 million funding round for Generative Bionics, an Italian startup focused on developing humanoid robots for industrial uses. Over the past year, the company has also invested in various sectors, including brain-computer interfaces and agricultural technology, leveraging interest income from U.S. Treasury bills that back its substantial digital dollar reserves, estimated at approximately $130 billion.
The global fitness tracker market is experiencing rapid growth, projected to reach $189.98 billion by 2032. In this competitive landscape, QVAC Health enters a crowded field filled with existing decentralized health projects such as Rejuve and CUDIS, all vying for a share of the burgeoning wearable technology sector.
Available for download on both iOS and Android platforms, QVAC Health positions itself as a formidable competitor in health tracking applications, which already serve millions of users worldwide.
