HomeFlix, the developer of the spatial operating system Living OS, is solidifying its unique position in the residential healthcare market by implementing 'Aurum Vital Care' as a proof of concept at the premium senior residence Caring Stay. While major hospitals, construction companies, healthcare firms, and medical AI startups are all entering the residential health management platform space, HomeFlix answers this market with a completely different approach, using "healing design frames" instead of mechanical devices.

The Aurum Vital Care, introduced as a proof of concept (POC) by HomeFlix at Caring Stay, appears on the surface to be nothing more than a beautiful picture frame. This installation, featuring natural imagery within a wooden frame, is filled with artworks selected by the HomeFlix Research Lab in consultation with video therapy faculty. Works such as Juhee Kim's 'Sky and Field', inspired by natural landscapes, provide visual healing and psychological comfort to residents. The philosophy of "healing design," which thoroughly eliminates the exposure of mechanical devices that feel out of place in residential spaces, permeates the entire environment.

What is particularly interesting is that inside the frame operates a contactless radar sensor, which has received FDA 510(k) approval in the United States. Residents do not need to wear any wearable devices or take any special actions; their heart rate, respiration, and body movement are continuously collected in real time, 24 hours a day. The connected AI analytics engine interprets this biometric data, detects abnormal patterns, and is designed to enable a rapid response in emergency situations. Thus, the visual aspect that promotes healing and the technology that protects health coexist within a single frame.

Recently, Bundang Seoul National University Hospital and Hyundai Engineering & Construction signed an MOU, while Ceragem's AI Wellness Home and ARK's SANVEL have each evolved toward medical data integration, the convergence of home appliances and lifestyle, and health screening platforms, respectively. These residential healthcare platforms share a clear common goal: to move away from a hospital-centered treatment model and shift to a "prevention-centered structure" that manages health continuously in daily living spaces and detects warning signs early. However, HomeFlix's approach operates on a fundamentally different plane. HomeFlix differentiates itself by connecting all these functions through a "spatial operating system"—the Living OS—which serves as its core identity and links analog services.

Living OS is not a single device or app. It is a system that integrates spatial design, product architecture, experience design, and operational standards, aiming for a structure in which the space itself recognizes residents' conditions, responds accordingly, and connects to services provided by real people. The bio module, sensory module, and safety module that make up Aurum Vital Care are organically linked within Living OS. Furthermore, they can be connected to wellness coaches and, when necessary, to external medical networks. While conventional smart homes have been "homes that control devices," HomeFlix's vision is "a home that first understands the resident's condition and enables the space to care for people autonomously."

Alongside this, HomeFlix has also signed an MOU with Yetu, an art-tech fintech platform operated by Evertreasure. Yetu is a platform that connects artists and content with future value through AI-based value analysis. This agreement is a strategic move to ensure the ongoing curation of healing art content and the expansion of the artist network.

Dongwon Seo, Chairman of HomeFlix, stated, "Starting with this POC, we will build a premium wellness space ecosystem where every space equipped with our solution autonomously detects and responds to changes in residents' health status."

In the healthcare industry, there is a clear trend of moving from a hospital-centered treatment model to lifestyle-based preventive management. Within this trend, efforts are being made to bring health data management platforms into living spaces, and to go even further by differentiating the operating system of the space itself around a wellness lifestyle. The home is no longer just a place to rest. In an era where the space itself supports recovery and provides care, HomeFlix is starting by changing the operating system of that space.
