3. Motivation
• Over the past decade, wearable technology such as smart wristbands, watches,
rings, and patches have gained immense popularity
• About one in four Americans owns a smartwatch or fitness tracker
• Wearables have successfully entered the mainstream
• Factors: Internet, Cloud, Smartphones, 5G, Wi-Fi, IoT, Battery life, SaaS
• “Quantified Self” movement: the meticulous collection and analysis of data
about bodies and lifestyle that people do to hack their way to better health à to
better outcomes

patterns
If posture is poor or
your activity levels
have been low for the
day, it gives you a
reminder to fix these
things or at the very
least make you aware

5. Wearable Health Electronics
5
• Wearable devices continuously measure a growing
array of health indicators and enable us to establish
patterns
• Help users and doctors identify important deviations
in lifestyle earlier before a disease develops
• Can result in big changes in the prevention of chronic
diseases like diabetes, and heart disease
Detect a disease before it develops

6. SafeBeing(TM) is our
Remote Patient Monitoring Platform
Platform components include:
• Caregiver Dashboard
• User App
• Caretaker App
• Smartband
We track user’s Activities of Daily Living
using novel gesture detection from a
wrist-based wearable and provide alerts,
reminders, notifications, insights and
predictive analytics around them.

7. SafeBeing(TM) Monitors:
ü Patented AI gesture-detection technology
ü Monitoring occurs without patient intervention
ü No hardware or sensor installation required
ü Works indoors and outdoors

Use Cases
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Patients take multiple trips to
the bathroom; are dehydrated; smart lighting in the facility
along with Somatix’s UTI risk predictor can create a safe
pathway for the person from bedroom to the bathroom and
back; Somatix’s hydration tool can encourage fluid intake
• Dehydration: dehydration in the elder population is a
common cause of falls and other medical issues, increasing
risk for hospital visits; Somatix’s hydration tool can
communicate hydration needs with the resident and alert
caregivers using Somatix’s dehydration predictive analytics
• Falls: are one of the most feared events in senior living
facilities; Somatix’s fall detection tool and fall prediction
alerts can help facilities reduce falls and falls with injury
• Sleep Analytics: changes in sleep quantity and quality often
correlate with changes in general health; Somatix’s sleep
analytics can provide new insights for residents and
caregivers and help monitor changes in sleep that can occur
with medical conditions and changes in medications

Use Cases
• Waking up at Night: Patients with UTI risk take
multiple trips to the bathroom; the smart IoT
lighting in the home/facility along with Somatix’s UTI
risk predictor can create a safe pathway for the
person from bedroom to the bathroom and back
• IoT devices communicate with each other and
Avoid Interference: If someone is sleeping, do not
turn on the washing machine or vacuum, etc.
• Nighttime Eating: If someone is on a diet plan the
refrigerator can be locked at nighttime or the
number of times it is opened can be limited
• Make Coffee: with Somatix SafeBeing solution we
have a very good understanding of a person’s
sleeping and waking patterns, and based on that we
can intelligently program the smart coffee maker to
brew coffee
