Press Release Summary = A new computer application called ViRec(TM) uses portable
storage technology called a flash drive to privately record vital medical
information for emergency viewing by medical personnel. Additionally, the ViRecTM
application optionally transfers medical records from the storage unit to a cell
phone for emergency reference.

Press Release Body = San Diego, California November 2, 2006, Vital Record
Corporation announces a computer application named ViRec, which records medical
history onto a thumb-sized storage device and onto a standard cell phone. As many
as 98,000 people die each year due to medical errors. A study given in "The Journal
of the American Medical Association" (5/2005) indicates the death rate has changed
little. To help reduce medical errors, the ViRec portable medical records
application provides direct access to a person's medical information, such as
identification information, prescription and non-prescription medications, doctors
and care givers, insurance carriers, and family history.

When the storage device is plugged into a computer, the medical information is
automatically displayed using the computer's installed Internet browser application.
In an emergency, medical personnel have immediate access to the medical information
simply by browsing the various pages containing the medical data. Alternatively, the
medical history can be stored on a cell phone and subsequently displayed using
simple key selection available on the phone.

For ease of recording the medical information, web page format is used. The data is
written to the portable storage device for viewing with a standard Internet browser.
The option of including a digital photograph of the owner is provided in the
Identification category of the medical data.

The unique portable storage unit is a "plug and play" device. When it is plugged
into a computer, the ViRec application automatically starts with a button selection
for launching the Internet browser with the initial Identification page of the
medical information. As with standard web page format, selections are made with
buttons to select and view the various pages of medical data.

With the "plug and play" feature, emergency medical personnel do not need special
application training since a standard web browser is used for viewing the medical
information.

The small storage unit contains the ViRec application and controls, as well as all
the medical information. Thus, all components of ViRec are self contained in the
portable device.

Although a web browser is used to record and view the medical information, no
internet connection is required. The medical information is kept private and secure
and not vulnerable to access on the public, untrusted Internet.
Additionally, the medical data stored on the device is encrypted and cannot be read
using any another application.

Moreover, no external power is needed to maintain the contents of the storage unit.
Because the unit is small, it can be carried, worn around the neck, or placed on a
key chain.

An added function of the ViRec application is the transmission of medical
information from the storage unit to a standard cell phone. A temporary Internet
connection is required to send the medical data in encrypted form to the Vital
Record Corporation server before placement on the cell phone.

The installed application manager software of the cell phone is used to retrieve the
medical data from the company's server, including a special ViRec application for
displaying the data. The medical data is automatically removed from the server once
it has been successfully stored on the cell phone.

To use this added function, the cell phone must have Internet access capability to
retrieve the medical data. The cell phone must also support Java applications known
as Midlets.
