HEALTH HERO NETWORK SECURES $16 MILLION IN OVERSUBSCRIBED SERIES B FINANCING
Funding To Help Drive Adoption of Health Buddy® System For Chronic Care Management

Redwood City, CA - November 16, 2006 — Health Hero Network Inc., a leading innovator of technology solutions for chronic care management, today announced it has secured $16 million in an oversubscribed series B financing to underwrite ongoing new product development and marketing for its successful Health Buddy System. The investment was led by existing investor Psilos Group and new investors California Technology Ventures, Integral Capital Partners and Boston Scientific. Existing investors Artal Services, Shoreline Venture Partners and ZG Ventures provided additional support.

The Health Buddy System helps improve patient outcomes and reduces the cost of care for patients with chronic diseases by educating and monitoring patients at home through easy-to-use home devices. Healthcare professionals access data transmitted from the patient at home using web-based health management programs. Studies have shown that the Health Buddy System produces results by modifying patient behavior and improving therapy compliance, while enabling healthcare professionals to identify problems earlier and prevent acute complications of chronic illnesses. The System is being utilized by more than 16,000 patients and is currently deployed in 120 Veteran Health Administration facilities.

“This additional investment will reinforce our long-standing leadership position in providing tools enabling a better model of care for patients with chronic conditions and their care providers,” said Steve Brown, president and chief executive officer of Health Hero Network. “We are expanding our technology and services to more partners and customers. We are committed to delivering convenient and easy-to-use solutions for patients.”

An estimated 133 million Americans, or about 45 percent of the population, have one or more chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). According to a 2004 study by the Robert Wood Foundation and Johns Hopkins University, spending for chronic illnesses represents 83 percent of total health care costs in the United States.

“Automated patient behavior monitoring and modification systems are essential to meeting the growing needs of patients, health care providers, and payers. The Health Buddy System serves as a critical interface among these parties and has proven to have a positive effect on patient outcomes and cost containment,” said Brian Stansky, managing director for Integral Capital Partners. “We look forward to working with the Health Hero Network team and the other investors to bring this technology to an expanding set of patient needs and care settings.”

“The company has deep intellectual property assets and customer relationships that prove the value of the intellectual property, as evidenced by the company’s work with the VA and the company’s licensing agreements with leading companies,” said Alex Suh, Founding Managing Director of California Technology Ventures. “Strong financial backing and continued commitment from the company’s investors and management show that Health Hero Network will be a leader in this market for years to come.”

HEALTH HERO NETWORK INVITED TO DEMONSTRATE AT WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE ON AGING
Health Buddy® System Showcased As Transforming Technology Empowering America’s Seniors to Manage Chronic Conditions from Home

Washington, DC - December 12, 2005 — Health Hero Network is demonstrating its home health monitoring technology today at the once-a-decade White House Conference on Aging (WHCoA). The hands-on technology exhibition is hosted by the Center for Aging Services Technologies (CAST) to show technologies available to help meet the demands of the rapidly growing population of aging Americans and their caregivers. Health Hero Network will demonstrate how its Health Buddy® system can transform care for seniors with chronic illnesses by coaching and educating them to manage their conditions at home and enabling care providers a daily connection to check on their patients.

Health Hero Network develops the Health Buddy system, which provides coaching, education and monitoring for patients with chronic conditions. A countertop appliance called the Health Buddy appliance is used in the patients’ home to provide a daily dialog of questions about the patient’s condition, as well as reminders and information for improved self-care. Care providers access the responses on a secure website, so they can monitor multiple patients simultaneously and intervene early if a condition is at risk of deteriorating.

“The White House Conference on Aging and the Center for Aging Services Technologies are calling attention to a looming crisis in this country – how to care for the largest population of older people the country has ever known,” said Steve Brown, CEO of Health Hero Network. “As the population of older people grows, so does the number of people with chronic conditions. Health Hero Network is acting now to address that issue before it becomes a crisis. We’re improving quality of chronic care by helping patients manage their own conditions, while also helping physicians care for the growing number of people with chronic illness.”

The Health Buddy system is currently being used in disease management, government, home care, hospital, Medicare, Medicaid, and research markets.

Health Hero Network will be showing its Health Buddy system at the CAST Imagine Pavilion (Booth #7) at the WHCoA on December 12-13, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Selects Health Hero Network, American Medical Group Association, Bend Memorial Clinic, and Wenatchee Valley Medical Center for Groundbreaking Physician-led, Technology-Supported Chronic Care Demonstration
Consortium To Show Effectiveness of Remote Monitoring of Patients with Chronic Conditions

ALEXANDRIA, VA, - July 5, 2005 — The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has selected Health Hero Network, the American Medical Group Association (AMGA), and medical groups in Washington and Oregon to demonstrate how doctors can use home health monitoring technology to help Medicare patients with severe chronic illness live healthier, happier, longer lives – and reduce Medicare spending by preventing hospitalizations. The medical groups are Bend Memorial Clinic in Bend, Oregon, and Wenatchee Valley Medical Center in Wenatchee, Washington. The medical groups will implement a physician-led, technology-supported care management program for up to 2,000 Medicare beneficiaries with congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and/or diabetes.

The group has named its effort the “ACCENT Project” — Advancing Chronic Care through E*Health Networks and Technologies. It is one of six projects selected by CMS under the Care Management for High-Cost Beneficiaries Demonstration. The CMS initiative will test approaches for transforming how doctors and hospitals provide care for high-cost Medicare patients with severe, complex chronic conditions. The goal is to improve the quality of life for these patients while significantly reducing costs. The ACCENT Project is notable among awardees because it will be conducted across multiple sites and because of its robust use of health information technology.

“The ACCENT Project will demonstrate that doctors and patients with severe chronic illness, supported by information technology, can establish a new partnership to provide exceptional preventive care for patients in their homes, and keep them healthier and living independently longer while reducing costs,” said AMGA President Donald W. Fisher, Ph.D. “CMS is rightfully coming to focus on creative new approaches to managing high-risk patients with chronic conditions. They are suffering under the current, crisis-driven approach to care, and they account for most health care spending. We look forward to partnering with CMS to show how medical groups supported by health information technology will produce great results for Medicare beneficiaries and taxpayers.”

CMS is requiring that Care Management for High-Cost Beneficiaries Demonstration awardees demonstrate improvements in the quality of care for high-cost Medicare patients who represent most of the program’s expenditures. Awardees are guaranteeing to CMS that they will save at least 5 percent of the total Medicare costs for the patients assigned to them.

The ACCENT Project’s key technology component is the Health Buddy system from Health Hero Network. Doctors and nurses at Bend Memorial Clinic and Wenatchee Valley Medical Center will use the Health Buddy appliance to coach patients at home about preventive behaviors that will keep them healthy. The doctors and nurses will use data generated by the Health Buddy appliance to spot problems and intervene early, before patients get so sick that they need to go to the emergency room or be hospitalized.

The ACCENT Project is slated to begin on January 1, 2006, and will last three years. CMS will assign to the ACCENT Project a patient population of approximately 2,000 patients who are already under the care of physicians at Bend Memorial Clinic and Wenatchee Valley Medical Center. Project coordinators will then actively recruit, enroll and manage CMS-assigned patients with the active cooperation of medical group physicians.

Beneficiary participation in the programs will be voluntary and will not change the amount, duration or scope of participants’ fee-for-service Medicare benefits. Fee-for-service Medicare benefits will continue to be covered, administered and paid under the traditional Fee-for-service Medicare program. Programs will be offered at no charge to the beneficiary. Organizations chosen for the demonstration will not be able to restrict beneficiary access to care or restrict beneficiaries to a limited number of physicians in a network.
