Technologies

mart home systems, with their extensive automation, sensing and remote-control capabilities,
offer a lot of environmental benefits. With rising
levels of air and water pollution, innovations in smart
home wellness technologies enable families to monitor
and measure invisible contaminants in their homes so
they can be better managed.

The innovative air and water systems
from Pure365 captures greater than 99%
of potentially harmful ultrafine particles,
microorganisms and volatile organic
compounds. The company's free app
provides the ability to compare indoor
air quality to the air outdoors and alerts
when air is unsafe, so families can open
windows to ventilate. It also tracks air
quality levels around the world, so travelers can keep track, and educates consumers on the latest research on the
impact various pollutants can have on
our health.

What is Next for Pure365?

Implementing AI and machine learning to
enable convenience and energy efficiency
are in the works. Soon, users can automate
their systems to turn off when no one is
home to save on energy, and restart when
one is on the way home so that optimal
conditions are reached upon arrival.
The company is working to allow integration of its app on all major home
automation platforms such as Google
Assistant, Siri, Alexa, and Crestron to
help as many people as possible create
healthy homes. To learn more, visit
