Philadelphia, PA - LifeWatch Services, Inc. the leading provider of
wireless telemedicine services in the U.S. and the major subsidiary
of Swiss- based LifeWatch AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: LIFE), hosted the
Honorable US Congressman Chaka Fattah at its Philadelphia Monitoring
Center to celebrate the recent expansion of the center. Congressman
Fattah toured the facility, met with the staff, and discussed how
telemedicine technology will become a major component in healthcare
platforms in the United States.

"Technology plays a vital role in the delivery of medicine and
unfortunately healthcare has been one of the last major industries to
efficiently incorporate proven technology efficiently that ultimately
reduces cost and improves patient outcomes," said Congressman Fattah.

The visit was coordinated by John Mize, Director of the LifeWatch
Federal Business Division, as part of an overall strategy to increase
awareness in Washington of how telemedicine can transform healthcare
delivery toward a virtual healthcare delivery system that focuses on
new ways of managing chronic diseases, controlling costs, and
improving patient outcomes. The LifeWatch Federal Business Division
offers its services to U.S. government agencies, and is the only IDTF
(Independent Diagnostic Test Facility) company in the wireless
cardiac industry with the GSA Schedule (General Service
Administration) Contract that facilitates a simplified procurement of
ACT wireless monitoring services by a wide variety of U.S. government
agencies. As reported in the Q4 2008 Letter to Shareholders, the
revenues from LifeWatch's Federal Division grew from USD 460,000 in
2007 to USD 1.5 million in 2008.

"LifeWatch is committed to increasing awareness of telemedicine's
benefits with our policymakers in Washington. It was a privilege to
host Congressman Fattah at our facility and allow him to see
firsthand how technology will improve the delivery of healthcare,"
Mize said following the visit.

The LifeWatch monitoring center in Philadelphia has grown from 60
healthcare professionals in 2008 to more than 100 today, with a goal
to more than double its headcount in 2010, based on growing demand
for its services.

According to Brent Atwood, Chief Operations Officer at LifeWatch, "We
are ideally suited to support the transformation of healthcare in the
United States with our ability to create a virtual healthcare
platform that provides efficient remote management of health data,
and triaged patient care from our remote monitoring center that will
improve the quality and consistency of care provided to patients."

In May LifeWatch hosted U.S. Senator Dick Durbin the Majority Whip
and Senior Senator from Illinois at the Rosemont facility to discuss
expansion efforts and the role the company plays in President Obama's
plan for healthcare reform.
