The document describes the Vyykn hydration system, which uses a Drop notification to remind employees to stay hydrated throughout the day. The system includes water dispensers that can provide different types of water and discreetly measure biometric data like heart rate and weight when employees fill their water bottles. It is presented as a simple and seamless alternative to wearable wellness technologies. Administrators can use the Vyykn platform and mobile app to monitor employee hydration and health metrics over time.

The Vyykn Wellness Drop
1. This is a Drop
This one Drop is all your employees will need
Hard to believe, but this one Drop can acquire more employee biometric data than any
wearable device or app, without the wearable. Current wellness platforms monitor and
measure but do not modify. If you cannot modify behavior, you cannot improve health. The
Vyykn Wellness program is based on the elemental foundation of good health,
happiness and productivity. Hydration.
Hey Jill,
Your hydration level is low.
Time to get your Vyykn!

2. The Drop is Simple, Elegant and Powerful.
Many administrators today perceive new wearable technology as an expensive employees
distraction. The Vyykn Wellness platform is based on our simple Drop notiļ¬cation which
reminds employees throughout the day to do the one thing which guarantees improved
health, mood and productivity. Hydration. If an employee is maintaining their hydration target,
the Vyykn system will not send them a Drop.
The Vyykn System
Vyykn systems make tap water more pure than any available bottled water. The system
also gives users a choice between Pure (cold and hot), Oxygenated, Alkaline (PH) and
Carbonated water.
Vyykn systems are interactive with real-time sensors showing water quality metrics such as
TDS (purity), PH and dissolved oxygen levels. The Vyykn system features a built-in
bottle-sterilizer that ensures on-going engagement and trust with the solution.
Vyykn systems track the environmental impact on an individual, company and global basis.
The environmental impact is measured by the volume of water puriļ¬ed on the system and
the associated number of plastic bottles, GHG emissions, oil and water saved by choosing
Vyykn.
The Vyykn system sends employees to a Vyykn
system an estimated 4-5 times a day. While
ļ¬lling, the Vyykn system can discretely acquire
the employeeās standing heart rate, SPO2 and
weight within two seconds. All data is managed in
a HIPAA compliant manner and made available
to wellness administrators via a secure portal.
3. Over the past several decades municipal tap water
quality has declined signiļ¬cantly; hence the growth
of the bottled water industry. What many have not
noticed is the meteoric rise of the packaged drink
industry.
As a species, we have progressively conditioned
ourselves to only trust drinks from a plastic bottle or
can. The rapidly climbing rate of obesity in the
United States is almost identical to the rate of
consumed bottled beverages.
Studies suggest Americans consume on average 40 gallons of soda per year.
While soda consumption is slightly declining, other designer drinks are ļ¬lling the
void.
How do we disrupt this social trend?
Design Makes a Difference
Through engineering, design and an interactive user-experience
Vyykn has created a hydration system unlike any other in the world.
Vyykn machines feature sleek stainless steel construction with a
clear view to the water tanks thus promoting the highest level of
interest and trust. A design assured to migrate packaged drink
users back to the original health drink. Water.
Employees can acquire heart rate and SPO2 by placing their ļ¬nger on the
side of the Vyykn system. In addition, a discrete mat at the front of the
system serves as a scale for wellness participants. All data is provisioned
out to the participant's app, wellness and other cloud-based programs
according to their preferences and permission.
Probable Connection
We design a system that makes water cool again.
4. Gamiļ¬cation Works
Recent studies show that employees like to compete. Vyykn's new gamiļ¬cation platform
promotes engagement and participation amongst colleagues. Vyyknās points-based
leaderboard is designed to initiate the idea of proper hydration within a work environment
while encouraging friendly competition. In addition to hydration, points can be earned via
action, education and events.
Pedometer? Yah, we got that.
With a built-in pedometer, the Vyykn app can measure and monitor exponentially more
data than any wearable, but more importantly, we measure what matters the most:
Hydration. Not only does the Vyykn app track movement and hydration at work but also
tracks hydration activity at any Vyykn system worldwide.
5. Administrator Tools: Simple
Proper hydration results in improved health. Detailed real-time reports allow administrators
to reward employees for incremental performance and biometric progress with data not
available on any other platform; no wearable device or middleware required. The Vyykn
platform is self-contained and seamless. This elegant approach to employee wellness
stems on simplicity. A corporate wellness administrator could simply focus on the bottom
10% performers.
MAGIC? NO.
SIMPLE? YES.
Vyykn Vitals
Vyykn Vitals offers a points module that allows the administrator to assign points to a
wide variety of events both on and off campus. Want to encourage an on-campus lunch and
learn seminar on mindfulness and/or a local Saturday fun-run? Simply place a Vykkn
beacon at the event and employees are automatically registered and points accrued.
Simple Deployment
ā¢ Vyykn installs systems at ideal locations throughout the campus.
ā¢ Employees are scheduled for enrollment, two-minute process.
ā¢ Employees immediately begin receiving their notiļ¬cations.
ā¢ Administrators immediately have access to data and reports.
