Licensing and Development Agreement with Leading Affordable Housing Real Estate Developer Expands uWink’s Technology into Other Markets

The uWink technology allows users to intuitively and easily use touch to access and interact with various forms of digital content and custom applications including menus, games, videos and music.

At Arbor Court, each residential unit contains a touch screen terminal. InSite plans to deploy the uWink software and custom applications on these terminals in order to provide residents easy, one-touch connectivity to a wide variety of information and services including food and pharmacy ordering, video conferencing, assistance and maintenance requests, and games and other digital content. In addition, InSite plans to use uWink’s multi-player game platform to offer group entertainment as well as memory muscle games that have been shown to enhance brain function in seniors and also to reverse damage caused by Alzheimer’s, strokes and surgery. The overarching objective is to create an affordable senior housing model that uses technology to both help seniors stay independent longer and reduce labor costs.

"Our goal with Arbor Court is to create an affordable alternative for seniors and disabled adults to allow them to age in a place with dignity," said Principal Developer with InSite, Scott Ehrlich. "If we give our residents an extra 10 years of independence before being institutionalized in a nursing home then we’ve hit a home run. This uWink touch technology will allow residents an interactive connection to the outside world and stimulate their minds and improve their memory. We believe that this is an invaluable amenity that will be a model for future senior housing."

"This agreement is the first to demonstrate how the uWink technology is able to help solve real-world problems in different markets," said Nolan Bushnell, CEO of uWink. "We believe that there are numerous markets where implementing uWink’s flexible and robust touch technology will increase services while decreasing labor costs, making software licensing a very attractive business model for us going forward."
