TOKYO, Japan, Jan. 18, 2006 -- After 3.5 years in R&D, Mobile Healthcare Inc. (Headquartered in Tokyo; James Nakagawa, President) today announced the commercial launch of Lifewatcher, which is a new innovative service that operates over mobile phones and the Internet, and is a comprehensive, patient-centric, mobile disease self-management system for diabetes, obesity, and other lifestyle-related disease sufferers.

It is critical for diabetes sufferers to track key health indicators such as blood sugar, blood-pressure levels, calorie intake, exercise and their weight. Lifewatcher is an easy to use intelligent tool that allows patients and practitioners to instantly input and view data. Lifewatcher can bring the benefits of "self-health" to both patients and doctors by allowing patients to take photos of their meals via mobile camera phones and send photos to their Lifewatcher account, which then automatically calculates and collates the nutritional data from the database.

Doctors, nurses, parents or care givers can login and remotely monitor patient food calendars as well as view patients' daily health records and set medicine alerts. "Imagine working in Tokyo yet remotely checking to see what your grandmother living in Gifu City ate for lunch or if she remembered to take her daily blood pressure medicine. Lifewatcher will both enhance a patient's quality of life, greatly increase the level of patient-doctor communication, as well as bring comfort to the family," says James Nakagawa, President of Mobile Healthcare Inc.
