QVAC Architecture to Power Next Phase
The partnership is all about integrating Eight Sleep’s technology into Tether’s QVAC system. QVAC enables edge intelligence, which means that AI models can run on the devices themselves. This approach ensures that the system is not reliant on cloud servers, which makes it more secure.
Eight Sleep will introduce AI capabilities on QVAC. This will ensure that the systems remain flexible with the evolution of AI. On-device processing enables consumers to have control over their data while deriving benefits from the insights generated.
The initiative is in line with QVAC Health, which is Tether’s personal wellness platform. QVAC Health brings together disjointed health and fitness information into one encrypted environment.
This allows users to view their data offline and not be dependent on proprietary services. This is in line with the long-term vision of local, user-controlled intelligence as the foundation of personal health management.
Building Long-Term Health Intelligence
Eight Sleep views this collaboration as more than just optimizing sleep, with the goal of applying its intelligence layer to overall personal health.
Through the combination of adaptive sensing and decentralized AI, it aims to create a scalable health tech platform. The company’s investments are the independent investment arm of Tether, and it invests funds using profits and excess reserves.
It is based in El Salvador and invests in ventures related to artificial intelligence, energy, biotechnology, financial services, education, and digital media, and has strategic investments in commodities, remittances, sports, and entertainment.
