AI Nose accuracy in elderly care improved to 85% with additional Smell ID training

AI-friendly healthcare policies to provide tailwinds for commercial rollout

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIMD)(NASDAQ: AIMDW) ("Ainos" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-powered scent digitization, today announced that Water Tower Research ("WTR") has published a report highlighting a significant milestone in the Company's AI Nose project for elderly care. AI Nose has reached approximately 85% accuracy in excretion odor detection-improving over the recently met internal milestone of 80%.

Key Highlights from the Report:

AI Nose Accuracy enhanced through machine learning at scale: The improved accuracy is based on 254 subject events and 2,119 sample entries in Japan and Taiwan. WTR estimates AI Nose achieved ~92% sensitivity, supporting the platform's reliability for real-time hygiene monitoring in long-term care environments. Data-driven machine learning and AI model training contribute to the improved accuracy, underscoring AI Nose's ability to enhance detection with increased data input.
Addressing aging population challenges in Japan and Taiwan: AI Nose offers a timely and scalable solution to the rising demand for senior care driven by the aging populations of Japan and Taiwan. In Japan, nearly 30% of the population is aged 65 or older, a figure projected to rise to 35% by 2040-creating an anticipated shortfall of ~570,000 caregivers. In Taiwan, the elderly population is expected to exceed 20% by 2025, with one of the world's lowest birthrates.
AI-integrated healthcare policy tailwinds support AI Nose adoption: AI Nose is strategically aligned with major AI-friendly healthcare digital transformation initiatives, including Japan's Society 5.0 and HealthcareDX frameworks and Taiwan's long-term care programs. These policy tailwinds are expected to accelerate commercialization pathways and generate scalable demand for AI Nose in high-need healthcare settings.
Commercial rollout targeted for 2026, with scalable Asia-Pacific growth potential: Ainos is advancing toward commercial deployment of AI Nose in long-term care facilities in 2026, following pilot testing through the second half of 2025. This timeline positions Ainos to capture early-mover advantage in Japan's aging population segment, with expansion opportunities in other Asian regions, reflecting AI Nose's scalability and regional relevance in addressing healthcare labor shortages and chronic care demands.
Pioneering SmellTech in $29.8-billion E-nose market: Ainos is positioning AI Nose as a category-defining SmellTech platform at the leading edge of the $29.8 billion global electronic nose market in 2025. By combining proprietary AI models with advanced gas sensor arrays, AI Nose is designed to unlock new, data-driven applications across healthcare, industrial, and robotics sectors. This differentiated approach positions Ainos as a potential first mover in digitized scent detection, with scalable upside across high-growth verticals.
