The Sandbox Launches Innovative Health and Wellness Metaverse Experience in Partnership with Universal Health Token

The Sandbox has launched a new health and wellness experience in the metaverse, partnering with Universal Health Token (UHT). This exciting platform focuses on preventive healthcare and teams up with GOQii to create a unique Healthcare Metaverse Experience.

In collaboration with Bharatbox, an India-focused metaverse project, users can dive into a variety of digital wellness activities. Think yoga parks, gyms, mental health centers, and cooking zones. It’s all designed to promote healthier lifestyles.

Sebastian Borget, COO and co-founder of The Sandbox, shared that this experience merges health, technology, and personal development. It transforms wellness into an engaging journey that’s accessible from anywhere in the world. This initiative aims to connect, reward, and empower users in their health and fitness efforts.

Universal Health Token, backed by major players like Animoca Brands, is all about rewarding healthy behaviors with token incentives. This encourages users to engage in activities that promote long-term health, such as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. The integration with GOQii, one of India's largest health platforms, allows users to earn UHT cryptocurrency tokens through challenges and health activities.

GOQii has over 5 million users globally and collaborates with more than 300 partners, including top insurance companies. They are supported by notable investors like Polygon, Galaxy Digital, and Mitsui.

The virtual experience with Bharatbox guides users through various health and wellness activities that can lead to real-life healthy habits. This initiative pays homage to the origins and ongoing innovation of both GOQii and UHT, which were founded in 2014 and 2022, respectively. GOQii offers a comprehensive suite of preventive healthcare products, including wearables, health foods, equipment, and lifestyle coaching.

Karan Keswani, CEO of BharatBox, described this experience as a “visionary approach to wellness.” He emphasized that integrating health, technology, and personal growth in a virtual setting opens new doors for how we engage with wellness. This partnership is set to reshape the digital health and fitness landscape.

Users can explore sections representing UHT’s principles and creativity. They can even engage in parkour across different worlds, discovering both virtual and real-life health-related activities. Plus, there are plans for live events featuring well-known figures in fitness and nutrition.

The Sandbox operates as an Ethereum-based metaverse game. Players can purchase virtual land through NFTs and create their own experiences. It’s free to play, and you don’t have to buy tokenized items. The game has partnered with brands and entertainers like McDonald’s, Adidas, and Snoop Dogg.

Recently, Universal Health Token announced a pre-seed funding round of $1.2 million, attracting investors like Animoca Brands and Polygon Ventures. GOQii has raised over $45 million to date, boasting more than 450,000 monthly active users.

Founded in 2014 by Vishal Gondal, GOQii empowers consumers to lead healthier lives. Its smart-tech-enabled platform integrates tools for personalized coaching, health check-ups, and a unique program that rewards healthy behaviors with discounts.

As an official partner of the ‘Fit India Movement,’ GOQii supports Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making 1.3 billion Indians fit. The company has attracted major investors, including Ratan Tata and Vijay Shekhar Sharma.

The Force of Good Foundation (FoG) aims to transform healthy living into a rewarding journey while addressing the global challenge of declining health. Living a healthy lifestyle is no longer just a trend; it’s a necessity. UHT envisions a world where preventive healthcare is incentivized to tackle significant health crises.
