A&D Medical Devices Receive Health Innovation Award, Ranked Most Accurate

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - March 10, 2009) - A&D Medical’s recently released line of Wellness Connected™ products has been taking the spotlight this March. Winning back-to-back awards from Health & Beauty Care Executive and Good Housekeeping for the UA-851THW Wireless Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor and UC-324THW Wireless Precision Scale, A&D is solidifying its spot as the leader in telehealth. Wellness Connected is a dramatic change to health monitoring. The technology, while extremely advanced is very user-friendly and intuitive to use. As the name implies, through software and medical devices, users can wirelessly connect to their health readings. Blood pressure, weight, and physical activity are uploaded in real-time, making tracking and analysis easy. Data viewing is customizable and can be shown in colorful graphs and charts that will print on any printer. Sharing the data is also made easy by the communities feature, which puts the user in control of who can view their wellness data. This allows for remote health tracking for family and friends, such as an elderly parent or weight-loss partner. Users can opt to share their wellness data with caregivers and communities through Wellness Connected.

A&D Medical received a 2009 Health Innovation Award from Health & Beauty Care Executive magazine for their UA-851THW Wireless Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. Health & Beauty Care Executive analyzes the healthcare industry and recognizes industry leaders.

Good Housekeeping has been thoroughly testing products and providing expert advice for over 124 years. Only the best products make it to the top of their coveted lists. It is no surprise that the A&D Medical UC-324THW Wireless Precision Scale received the “most accurate” label in the Get-Fit Guide, featured in the March 2009 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

“These products are changing the way people see their health. They don’t have to take a back seat and wait for the doctor to tell them there’s a problem -- they can be proactive and do something today,” stated Teruhisa Moriya, President and CEO of A&D Medical.

Wellness Connected products are available at many online retailers, pharmacies, and home healthcare providers.
