Carlsbad, CA, January 24, 2000 -- iMetrikus™, Inc. today announced an exclusive e-health partnership with OnDisplay® (NASDAQ: ONDS), a leading provider of comprehensive applications for rapid deployment of e-business portals and e-marketplaces. According to the agreement, iMetrikus and OnDisplay will jointly market iMetrikus' proprietary MediCompass™ application to other e-health sites to provide them with true interactivity.

iMetrikus and OnDisplay will target key wellness, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and nutrition Web sites to use the MediCompass solution to provide their consumers with personalized, customized and effective control of their healthcare. For more information, please call (760) 804-8800 or go to www.imetrikus.com.

MediCompass is the core application that powers MyHealthChannel.com, the iMetrikus Web-based community designed to give patients with chronic diseases, as well as their caregivers, the personalized knowledge and resources they need to monitor their own well-being. Based on member's individual use and interaction, MediCompass seeks the most vital and relevant content regarding new drugs and treatments, studies, clinical trials, etc., and links it directly to the user's MediCompass online health portfolio. Additionally, the latest pricing information for relevant health products and services is presented from commercial Web sites so a patient can search many different online sources for the best value without leaving MyHealthChannel. OnDisplay provides the exclusive agent technology to support the process.

Thompson, MD, iMetrikus' President and CEO. “Our goal is to provide patients and physicians the information and access to ethical online services they demand to effect collaborative health management and improve their quality of life. OnDisplay's CenterStage can help us reach that goal with a powerful software application.”
