SPARKS, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2002

Patented CSI Technology Supports Presidential Appeal for Greater

Individual Responsibility in Preventive Health Management

Computerized Screening, Inc. (CSI), visionary pioneers in the field of preventive health screening technology, today announced the launch of Personal Medical Record (PMR), the latest innovation of CSI's patented Health Station system.

PMR allows Health Station users to record, store and access vital health information and test results from the Health Station screening features. The PMR supports CSI's 25 year mission to use technology to improve community access to an integrated healthcare system based on prevention, a goal CSI shares with President Bush's HealthierUs initiative, introduced in June 2002.

The CSI PMR allows Health Station users to record, store and access tests results from the Health Station screening features, including blood pressure screenings, weight and body mass index (BMI) assessment, and sophisticated health risk assessments. Users can update personal information and use CSI features from any health station; each measurement is automatically time and date-stamped and recorded in the users PMR. Individuals who use CSI Health Stations will receive an access card and select their own personal identification number (PIN) for controlled, secure access to their personal health records either online or from any health station. In addition, users can grant on-line access to health care professionals who wish to view or monitor their patient's test results. CSI's secure database structure is compliant with HIPPA privacy and security standards, and designed to handle millions of transactions per year.

"CSI's PMR enables individuals to manage their own personal health information, perform valuable screening tests and provide their physicians and other care-givers with information, all without stepping into the clinical setting," says Charles Bluth, President and Founder of CSI. "The PMR is a critical step towards achieving CSI's vision of providing free public access to accurate health screening tools that empower individuals to proactively manage their health."

CSI has designed the PMR system to provide future access to physicians, pharmacy and other health care providers, who will be able to record pertinent health and medical information in the individual's PMR. CSI also plans to add body fat composition testing to the Health Station and PMR.

CSI holds four patents for technology and devices that comprise the CSI health station, including technology for blood pressure monitoring that is regarded as the most accurate non-invasive, automated methodology in existence today. CSI technology uses all three of the accepted non-invasive measurement techniques: auscultatory (sound), oscillometric (pressure) and pattern identification and analyzes 6,500 samples to determine a single blood pressure result. Other CSI patented features include a weight assessment tool, a seat providing wheel chair access to the system and the interactive health record management health system.

In addition to blood pressure and weight measurement, CSI health stations offer heart rate testing, fitness evaluations including body mass index determination and health risk assessments based on the Framingham Heart Study. The CSI health stations also feature comprehensive health information, including access to a drug encyclopedia and a medication compatibility database, an extensive library of health education videos and information on local health providers and services.

With commitments for more than 4000 CSI health stations to be operational around the United States in the coming months, CSI expects rapid growth and increasing public and corporate interest to account for as many as 10,000 locations in the next few years. Among CSI's retail clients are Publix, Kerr Drug, Price Chopper, Safeway, Longs, Raley's, Meijer, SaveMart, Big A, Spartan, Dillons and Brookshires. In addition, CSI has established relationships with hundreds of corporations around the country, including many Fortune 500 businesses. Among CSI's corporate clients are Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Colgate-Palmolive, Mass Mutual, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Maxwell House, Becton Dickinson, Astra Zeneca, Dupont, Kaiser Permanente, and the US Government.
