Blockchain and AI Solutions for a Smart Home Platform, to Provide Better Quality of Life, and Transform Healthcare in China
WUHAN, China, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SSLJ.com Limited (the "Company" or "SSLJ") (NASDAQ: SSLJ), a leading vertically integrated online-to-offline ("O2O") home improvement service and product provider in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), announced today that it has entered into a service agreement with Technovative Group, Inc. ("Technovative") (OTCPINK: TEHG), a company engaged in delivering artificial intelligence ("AI"), blockchain ("distributed ledger technology", "DLT") and big data analytics to leading enterprises in the Greater China Region ("GCR"), Southeast Asian Region and beyond. Together the two companies will develop the Lojoy iCare platform to support SSLJ's Internet of Things ("IoT") appliances in a race to become the first to create a true smart home environment centered on the innovative use of leading technologies.
SSLJ will utilize Technovative's expertise to develop smart appliances capable of leveraging blockchain's immutability to accurately collect and analyze personalized data emitted including: living habits, home preferences, personal health statistics, etc. and generate intelligent analytics leading to the ability to learn and gain insights about residents across multiple homes and locations. SSLJ's devices classify data based on five human sensory perceptions, and singularly or collectively can capture vital personal data in the block chain. Appliances from SSLJ's Lojoy Suite such as blood pressure monitors, and blood glucose monitors, are already capable of producing medical data, which residents can share confidently with doctors and insurers because of the privacy enabled by blockchain technology. Big data analytics mined from the blockchain can assist doctors in providing preventive and/or rehabilitative medical care.
Over time, these insights will also provide better knowledge on preferred building materials and room styles. DLT-based analytics differ from traditional analytics by virtualizing the home and its residents so that information becomes more ubiquitous, ultimately leading to better analysis of market trends and customer needs. SSLJ not only will be able to improve its designs and product offerings, but will also promote the usage of Lojoy iCare as the Platform as a Service ("PaaS") of choice to a wider exclusive home improvement ecosphere with upstream and downstream enterprises that can incubate new appliances and innovative concepts. It is envisaged that Lojoy iCare will be widely adopted as an industry-wide standard and the IT community will contribute extensions and adoptions.
In addition to effective application of the anonymous and decentralized nature of blockchain technology to data security and client privacy protection, the Lojoy iCare platform will also feature a gamified CRM program based on blockchain's Proof-of-Work ("POW") mining process enabling SSLJ clients to earn loyalty points (and coins) through applying forward thinking rules and concepts such as "the more you use the smart home appliances, the more you benefit" especially for early adopters.
