Broadcasters Show Daily 2 3 Wednesday, April 10, 2019 Delos Launches World's First Residential Wellness Technology Platform Delos, the pioneer of wellness real estate and founder of the WELL Building Standard™, announced the launch of the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence platform – a groundbreaking offering designed to enhance health out- comes in the home and mitigate harmful indoor environmental concerns, utilizing Delos' proprietary wellness algorithms and sensor technologies, to create spaces that help reduce stress, improve sleep quality, increase performance and enhance overall well-being. "Despite most of human history spent outside, we now spend nearly 90 percent of our time indoors, and yet rarely focus on the impact the indoor environment can have on our health and well-being. Through extensive scientific research and real-world testing, we dis- covered that we can mitigate environ- mental triggers within our homes to enhance both physical and emotional well-being," said Delos Chief Executive Officer and Founder Paul Scialla. "Delos' DARWIN platform incorporates health and wellness features and tech- nologies into the home to bring the bene- fits of natural outdoor conditions inside. We are excited to work with our global partners to introduce a new era of well- ness technology into homes." Backed by over seven years of research, the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence platform focuses on four main components: air filtration, water purification, circadian lighting and com- fort-focused technologies, all of which simulate the natural outdoor condition. Powered by Delos' proprietary cloud- based algorithms, the dynamic platform interacts with an ecosystem of Delos approved products and solutions to bring wellness intelligence into the connected home environment. DARWIN is flexible and accessible, launching across all seg- ments of the housing market, from mass market to luxury. Delos is partnering with premier dealers, installers, builders and other stakeholders across the globe to integrate the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence platform into residences: HTSA Network: Delos is training professionals throughout the United States to become accredited DARWIN dealers and installers. Simonds Homes: Simonds, a leading volume home builder in Australia, will include DARWIN as part of its base package in all new homes in the state of Victoria, setting a new baseline for mar- ket rate housing. Delos is a title sponsor for the KB "Home of Future." DARWIN is featured as the home's wellness technology plat- form. Lateral Estate: Lateral, a preeminent Australian real estate developer, has announced DARWIN as a standard offer- ing in all of its multi-family residences at Parc Blakehurst in Sydney. 1371 Summitridge Drive, 521 North Cannon Drive: As part of a broad nation- al roll out in luxury housing, these luxury single family homes in Beverly Hills, California incorporate the comprehen- sive home wellness platform, making them the first luxury residences to be powered by DARWIN. DARWIN is cur- rently being commissioned by many of the most sought after newly constructed luxury homes in the United States. "For years, the value proposition of smart technology in the home has been elusive for the masses," said Delos Chief Technology Officer Jim Hunter. "These technologies have primarily focused on security, energy, convenience and enter- tainment. However, it is the health and well-being of the ones we love that is most valuable. Born out of extensive research, DARWIN is the delivery plat- form for our wellness algorithms that helps improve the environmental condi- tions where we live, work, sleep and play." Delos has fostered leading research collaborations with the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, a board of doctors from the Columbia University Medical Center and architects, scientists and wellness thought leaders to introduce wellness standards, programs and solu- tions into the built environment. Delos established the Well Living Lab™ in collaboration with Mayo Clinic – the world's first lab committed to research- ing the real-world impacts of the indoor environment on human health and per- formance. Delos' wellness technologies and solutions, along with the International WELL Building Institute's WELL Building Standard, have seen broad adoption of wellness real estate programs across the commercial real estate market, with nearly 1,000 proj- ects in 35 countries. Building upon the substantial success in the commercial sector, the launch of the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence platform marks the first expansion of Delos' offerings to the residential smart-home market. "Our home environment has a pro- found impact on our health, well-being and happiness. As the pioneer of well- ness real estate and the founder of the WELL Building Standard, the intro- duction of the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence platform is a nat- ural extension of Delos' leading sci- ence and research and makes improved health, well-being and happiness avail- able to all," said Deepak Chopra (Delos Advisory Board Member).

Cognitive, Plume and Qualcomm Partner with Stanley Black & Decker Cognitive Systems Corp., Plume and Qualcomm Technologies announced their partnership with Stanley Black & Decker in the creation of its ground- breaking Omni security product. Omni's unique capabilities are enabled by Cognitive Systems' Aura WiFi Motion technology, Plume's cognitive service curation platform, OpenSync device software stack and Qualcomm's advanced Qualcomm Mesh Networking Platform. The result is a self-install security and motion detec- tion system that alerts end users to motion in and around their homes and businesses without the privacy risks, set-up hassles or high costs that come with security cameras and sensors. The collaboration between the four organi- zations is an unprecedented step towards creating a truly cognitive, smart home or business. "We are very pleased to be working closely with these great companies and integrating our Aura WiFi Motion soft- ware with their solutions. With more than 35 patents granted, we are very well posi- tioned to disrupt the smart home industry by providing motion detection for securi- ty applications and elder care, and most notably, the vital context needed to make a truly smart home," said Taj Manku, co- Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Cognitive Systems. "Our WiFi Motion software stack allows Stanley Black & Decker's Omni to provide motion detec- tion coverage across an entire home or business, without cameras, so that users know their locations and loved ones are safe and secure." Cognitive Systems' Aura WiFi Motion technology uses unique radio fre- quency (RF) sensing technology that can "see" and interpret WiFi signals. On top of this RF sensing, Cognitive Systems uses predictive analytics for reliable and accurate detection and localization of motion. Cognitive's solution integrates with OpenSync, an open source embedded software that allows partners like Cognitive to launch applications to a ready-made audience across millions of homes. OpenSync intelligently processes data collected by Omni in the Plume Cloud and enables new services to be deployed, managed and supported. "As the IoT landscape changes with more devices and use-cases, customers are increasingly looking for new service providers to enter the home and bring new solutions over-the-top," said Tyson Marian, Chief Commercial Officer at Plume. "Omni is a great example of how we enable partners to provide new WiFi applications and monetize their services leveraging our existing service portfolio to deliver performance and insightful data at scale." Omni by Stanley Black & Decker will be available for purchase in the sum- mer of 2019. "Our goal is to provide our customers with a security product that provides true peace of mind," said Spencer Maid, Vice President, Breakthrough Innovation at Stanley Black & Decker. "Cognitive Systems' Aura WiFi Motion technology, combined with Adaptive WiFi™ delivered through Plume's cognitive service curation plat- form, allows true interoperability between IoT devices to ensure motion is monitored and interpreted effectively, enabling customers to not only protect their homes and businesses, but also keep their privacy intact." "As evidenced by the rapid prolifer- ation of connected devices in the home over the last few years, consumers are on the precipice of a new era in smart home technology," said Gopi Sirineni, Vice President, Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "We are excited to be working alongside Cognitive Systems, Plume and Stanley Black & Decker as they adopt emerging wireless technologies like RF sensing and mesh networking to deliver these innovative new applications to estab- lished industries like home and business security."
