Plymouth, MN, May 30, 2001 - - QRS Diagnostic, LLC and TeleVital, Inc. announced a collaborative development of web-enabled QRS PC Card medical devices, resulting in real-time monitoring, assessment, analysis, retrieval, and storage of physiological data over the Internet.  The product will be showcased at the annual ATA meeting June 3 through June 5 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

QRS specializes in software-based medical devices that seamlessly integrate with off-the-shelf PCs, handheld computers, and Internet appliances.  The company's PC Card medical device platform is used worldwide as a cost-effective and portable means of acquiring and communicating physiological data such as spirometry, oximetry, electrocardiograph, BP, and vitals.

TeleVital Inc. uses their proprietary real-time browser-based software engine, VitalWare(TM), to web-enable medical devices and provide the infrastructure that allows for real-time data streaming over the Internet.  TeleVital's innovative solutions further enhance QRS PC Card technology by allowing healthcare

practitioners to perform remote evaluations and test procedures over the Internet.  The patient data, managed by using a web-based electronic medical record (EMR), can be retrieved using a 56K, ISDN, DSL, or T1 Internet connection.

"VitalWare compliments QRS physiological data acquisition technology by offering a unique solution to overcome the barriers of distance and time, while improving continuity of healthcare," states Kishore Kumar, President of TeleVital Inc.  "TeleVital is committed to making our web-enabled software integration robust and promotes QRS medical devices to reach broader market penetration in areas of telemedicine and home healthcare."
