Cutting-Edge Technology Brings Wellbeing to the Masses as Online and Offline Worlds Collide
NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(Marketwired - Sept. 9, 2016) - Today, renowned physician, wellbeing expert, and New
York Times best-selling author Dr. Deepak Chopra announces a partnership between Jiyo, his brand-new wellness platform, and
ARHT Media Inc. ("ARHT") (TSX VENTURE:ART)(OTCQB:ARHTF) in collaboration with NetDragon. Together, the brands will be
introducing HumaGrams™ to the health and wellness space.
HumaGrams are life-size photo-realistic digital representations of people, projected using ARHT's patent-pending Augmented
Reality Holographic Technology, capable of eliminating time and geography by allowing a speaker to appear in front of an audience
as a hologram in real-time for a two-way interaction, without having the need to physically be there.
Dr. Chopra will launch the partnership live on September 9th 2016, via his own HumaGram at his Sages &
Scientists symposium at The Beverly Wilshire hotel in Los Angeles, California, which takes place through September
11th, 2016.
With the advent of HumaGrams in the health and wellness space, individuals can now be beamed into virtually any location
around the world using the public Internet, and can interact with multiple audiences in multiple locations in real-time opening
up endless boundaries for greater engagement and collaboration. The use of this technology will bring the insights of key
thought leaders to the masses while fusing the online with the offline. Jiyo users will be able to access a schedule of
lectures, meditations, and workshops around the world where a HumaGram of these experts will be available to interact with
them.
"HumaGrams brings us one step closer to our goal of impacting 1 billion lives around the world, said Dr. Chopra. "We will be
able to touch multiple communities at once with these immersive experiences and create a synergy that leads to a greater societal
transformation. This is the future of wellness and technology."
Recently launched this past June, Jiyo is a wellbeing platform intended to be a personal companion to enable personal
transformation. Jiyo focuses on five pillars of wellness including personal growth, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and
relationships. The platform aims to take a 360-degree approach to wellbeing, offering curated video content and insights from
leading global experts including Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, Kimberly Snyder, Eddie Stern and Tara Stiles. Wellbeing
communities are a key feature of the platform, as support groups enable users to achieve their goals, and with the addition of
HumaGram, users will have endless opportunities to gain knowledge from wellness leaders worldwide.
"We are pleased introduce our technology into the health and wellness space, especially in partnership with such a great and
dynamic individual as Dr. Chopra. HumaGrams can play a very important role in facilitating connections between communities
who were in the past restricted by physical limitations such as distance and time. With our technology we can truly move
towards brining multiple communities together from all over the globe," said Paul Duffy CEO of ARHT Media Inc.
ARHT Media's HumaGram technology has previously been used with well-known public figures such as best-selling author Tony
Robbins and television host Larry King.
Dr. Simon Leung of NetDragon said, "With our investment in ARHT Media's technology and our collective collaboration with Jiyo
and Dr. Chopra, we again move a great leap forward in helping build even larger communities focused on knowledge sharing, and
continue to bring world-class subject matter experts to people who in the past may not have been able to easily access them."
NetDragon is a major shareholder in ARHT and together they have a joint venture in Asia that includes a multi-year exclusive
license of ARHT's technology as well as a license of NetDragon's mobile-focused community, instant messaging and app store
technologies. NetDragon continues to unlock a network of opportunities for the use of HumaGrams™, and its supporting technologies
to millions of people globally.
