iMetrikus Receives Prestigious Moby Award for Excellence in Mobile Health Applications

iMetrikus Recognized for Innovative Use of Mobile Technology to Deliver Personalized Healthcare Information to People with Chronic Conditions

Carlsbad, CA, November 28, 2001 -- iMetrikus, Inc., announced today that they have been awarded the Moby Award in healthcare, an annual award presented by the analysts at Mobile Insights to recognize achievements in innovative deployment of mobile technology. The Moby Awards were initiated by Mobile Insights to acknowledge excellence in those who implemented cutting edge mobile computing and data communication technology to resolve a major business issue. Selections are based on innovation, impact on users, and robustness. Wireless Knowledge, a subsidiary of QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) and a leading provider of strategic mobility solutions, submitted nomination for the award.

Working together with Wireless Knowledge, iMetrikus introduced a new class of online healthcare monitoring applications that are available to mobile device users. These applications give patients the freedom to access their medical data on devices including Internet-enabled PDAs, mobile phones, and pagers making it easier for them to comply with their healthcare regimens.

iMetrikus' applications take Internet health monitoring to a new level by giving patients the freedom to send and receive data while on the go - and as a result, more easily monitor their health regimens. By encouraging patients to be more compliant with their treatment programs, the solutions foster better outcomes for patients and may ultimately lower healthcare costs.

"Our partnership with iMetrikus has improved patient care by making mission-critical health information available on a variety of mobile devices," said Eric Schultz, chairman and CEO of Wireless Knowledge. "We're excited to be recognized for our pioneering work in mobile healthcare solutions."

"By adding mobility to interactive health monitoring, providers can reach out to patients on a 24/7 basis which makes it easier for patients to stay in compliance with their health regimens," said Jae Evans, iMetrikus' President and Chief Technology Officer. "Working together with Wireless Knowledge, we were able to extend the reach and influence of mobile health data monitoring applications to the broadest range of people."

About iMetrikus Mobile Solutions

MetrikAnywhere lets patients and caregivers exchange healthcare information from any location. Deployable across a broad range of wireless-enabled devices, it transports blood glucose readings from a patient's handheld glucose monitor and forwards them wirelessly to the patient's secure health record where they can be immediately accessed by the healthcare team for review and intervention. MetrikAnywhere gives users the mobility they need while keeping their healthcare team informed.

MetrikList mobilizes Web-based task lists to help a patient monitor his or her condition. These task lists are pushed out to a patient's Internet-enabled mobile phone, PDA, or laptop. In addition, notifications can be pushed to a patient's mobile phone, reminding them to begin a particular task. Unlike most applications that push data to a mobile user, MetrikList is interactive, allowing the reminder to be sent and also responded to immediately.
