Delos Debuts DARWIN at CES 2019 — The World’s First Home Wellness Intelligence Network

Delos™, a wellness real estate and technology firm based in New York,
will showcase the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence Network for
the first time in the U.S. during CES from January 7 to 11, 2019 in Las
Vegas, Nevada.

Leveraging Delos’ position as the pioneer of wellness real estate, and
building on seven years of research with leading experts and
institutions, the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence Network is
a groundbreaking offering that seeks to turn your home into a catalyst
for enhanced health, well-being and performance. Using proprietary
software, wellness algorithms and sensor technologies, DARWIN is
designed to help enhance energy, sleep and overall well-being, and
reduce indoor contaminants that negatively affect respiratory,
cardiovascular, immune and cognitive health by monitoring and
calibrating air, water and light quality. DARWIN has been engineered to
integrate seamlessly into existing smart home and smart assistant
platforms, or to stand alone in cases where smart home technology is not
installed in the home.

DARWIN pricing starts at approximately $3,500 (MSRP) and is offered in a
number of configurations to accommodate homes of all sizes and types
including single family, multi-family and luxury custom residences.
DARWIN is available nationwide through HTSA dealers and builders in the
U.S. and abroad.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans
spend about 90 percent of their time indoors, much of which is spent in
their homes. New research from Hanley Wood shows more homebuyers
prioritize design elements, systems and technologies that promote good
health over traditional amenities like hardwood floors, outdoor patios
and walk-in closets.

“We’re now spending $4.2 trillion globally on health and
wellness-focused products, from fitness apps to personal health care to
nutrition programs,” said Delos CEO and Founder Paul Scialla. “DARWIN is
designed to empower people to be healthier, happier and more productive
in their own home by adding a layer of wellness intelligence to the
smart-home landscape.”

DARWIN focuses on four main components: air filtration, water
purification, dynamic circadian lighting and comfort-focused
technologies, all of which are designed to simulate natural outdoor
conditions.

• Air quality sensors are installed in the home and are monitored by
  proprietary algorithms that intuitively recognize when air quality
  drops below pre-set levels and automatically triggers the air
  purification system to remediate poor air quality.
• Water filtration solutions are selected to remediate
  geographically-important water quality issues at all water sources in
  the home.
• Dynamic circadian lighting systems that mimic the natural sun patterns
  throughout the day are utilized to balance your sleep wake cycle.
  Energizing bright light in the morning transitions to calming warm
  light in the evening to help your body produce melatonin and prepare
  for a restful night’s sleep, leaving you more rested, refreshed and
  recharged.
• Comfort-focused technologies in the bedroom, including dynamic
  temperature control and automatic black out shades, create a
  supportive and comfortable sleep environment that minimizes
  disturbances and promotes restful nights. Dawn simulation scenes and
  sounds of nature provide a more natural and gentle way to wake up.

The DARWIN dashboard delivers the wellness status of the home and
provides key information about how the home is performing, including
real-time air quality monitoring, pollutant information and
research-based wellness algorithms and experiences that can be
customized to fit your lifestyle and needs. DARWIN can be controlled
from a smartphone app, stand-alone tablet, Google Home integration and
various home automation systems, giving you the freedom to control and
access the dashboard from any room in your home. Key to DARWIN’s
adaptability is a wide range of curated third-party products approved by
Delos Labs, a multi-disciplinary research and development arm of Delos
that collaborates with top industry experts as well as leading academic
and medical institutions globally. Delos continues to engineer APIs into
a growing library of compatible products and devices, as part of the
DARWIN network.

Delos launched DARWIN in Australia in September 2018, its first official
foray into the single-family volume home sector, through a collaboration
with Simonds Homes. DARWIN is currently included in the base package of
all Simonds Homes built in Victoria, Australia – reflecting the volume
home builder’s belief that living in a wellness home should be a right,
not a privilege. Upcoming projects in the U.S. include:

• HTSA Network: Delos is training a growing network of
  professionals throughout the United States to become accredited DARWIN
  dealers and installers.
• KB Home Projekt: Delos is a title sponsor for the KB Home of
  the Future at the 2019 CES in Las Vegas, N.V. The home features DARWIN
  and is voice-enabled through the Google Home system.
• Luxury Residences: As part of a broad national roll out in
  luxury housing, DARWIN is currently being commissioned by many of the
  most sought after newly constructed luxury homes and condos in the
  United States.

Delos has fostered 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 solutions into the built
environment. Delos established the Well Living Lab™ in collaboration
with Mayo Clinic — the world’s first lab committed to researching the
real-world impacts of the indoor environment on human health, well-being
and performance. The creation of The WELL Building Standard™ (WELL) was
one of Delos’ earliest accomplishments and industry transformative
innovations. The International WELL Building Institute was established
by Delos as an independent, separately governed organization to continue
WELL's development and drive market uptake – with now over 1,200
projects in 45 countries, across over 250 million square feet of
commercial real estate. After the successful launch of WELL, Delos
extended its research and program creation to more directly address the
environmental impact our homes have on our health, well-being and
performance with the release of the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence
Network. Delos Labs created the DARWIN wellness algorithms in
collaboration with experts from top academic institutions.

“The introduction of the DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence Network is a
natural extension of Delos’ leading science and research and makes
improved health, well-being and happiness available to all households,”
said Deepak Chopra (Delos Advisory Board Member).

Delos will showcase DARWIN during Pepcom’s Digital Experience! event in
Las Vegas, NV on January 7. Delos representatives also will be available
for demonstrations and media interviews during CES at The Venetian, from
January 6 to 9, 2019.
