Case Study: Delos™ and IBM | Optimizing Indoor Environments to Improve Health and Performance

If you’re like most people, you spend around 90% of your time indoors – a stat that may make fitness experts shudder. But thanks to Wellness Real Estate and technology firm Delos™, your time inside can be healthy.

Delos is transforming where you work while generating terabytes of research data to understand how indoor spaces impact human health. But the company’s researchers needed a technology partner to help them analyze all of this data faster and for deeper understanding.

Working with IBM, Delos can now accelerate data analysis and gain greater insights that can drive the design of healthier building solutions.

Using IBM Watson™ cognitive and data analytics services on the IBM Bluemix® cloud platform, Delos can:

• Empower its researchers at the Well Living Lab™ with advanced technologies for understanding their vast volumes of data
• Envision innovative yet practical design, construction and management of healthier indoor spaces using evidence-based findings
• Identify the potential return on investment that can be achieved with healthier living and working environments

Understanding the connection between health and indoor spaces

The Well Living Lab is a unique research facility that simulates a variety of real-world living environments.
