Water Tower Research Highlights Ainos' Significant Commercial Traction and Strategic Milestones Across Multiple Sectors

412% revenue growth reflects AI Nose sales in elderly care

Expanding AI-driven scent tech beyond healthcare into robotics and industrial applications

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2025 / Ainos, Inc. (Nasdaq:AIMD)(Nasdaq:AIMDW) ("Ainos"), a leader in AI-powered scent digitization, today announced that Water Tower Research ("WTR") has published a report highlighting the Company's significant progress in commercializing its AI-driven scent digitization platform, AI Nose, and expanding into multiple market verticals. Notably, Ainos has achieved a key milestone of achieving over 80% accuracy in its senior care project.

Key Highlights from the Report:

• AI Nose sales drive strong revenue growth: Ainos reported a 412% year-over-year increase in revenues. This was primarily driven by initial AI Nose sales tied to a pilot launch in Japan's elderly care market through a co-development project with partner Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc. ("NISD").

• AI Nose in elderly care hits internal milestone: Under the NISD co-development project initiated in 2H24, AI Nose achieved over 80% accuracy in detecting bowel movements in elderly patients. Ainos is preparing for mass production of this AI-powered telehealth monitoring system to meet the needs of Japan's aging population-where one in three people is 65 or older and the nation faces a projected shortfall of 570,000 caregivers by fiscal 2040.

• Scaling smelltech - Ainos expands AI Nose market opportunity beyond healthcare into industrials and robotics: AI Nose captures airborne chemical signatures and uses AI-driven algorithms to rapidly identify and classify smells in real time. Initially developed for healthcare applications, it is being used in women's health diagnostics Ainos Flora in addition to elderly care monitoring. Ainos has recently expanded the technology's application into new verticals, including robotics and industrial sectors, through strategic partnerships.

• Swift progress in robot collaboration: Shortly after forming the partnership, Ainos successfully completed first installation of AI Nose sensory module onto ugo, Inc.'s service robot, enhancing its digital scent detection capabilities. The project has now entered the software integration phase, preparing for deployment and AI training in real-world environments. ugo's robots are already actively deployed in Japan, presenting a visible commercial opportunity.
