PositiveID to include new bio-sensor application in Wireless Body platform

PositiveID Corporation ("PositiveID" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:PSID) announced today that it has expanded its Wireless Body™ platform to include a new bio-sensor application for temperature. PositiveID has partnered with RFID Solutions of Malaga, Spain to develop a temperature-sensing microchip to continuously measure temperature from within the body and communicate that reading to an external scanner. The Company plans to integrate the temperature-sensing microchip with The Wireless Body, an integrated, in vivo and external, smart healthcare communication system that has the ability to deliver personalized medical solutions wirelessly.

The Wireless Body will be designed to enhance wellness and disease management, for diabetes and other chronic illnesses, by allowing healthcare systems to communicate with each other and deliver solutions to patients seamlessly. The Wireless Body can also be applied to other wellness applications such as for individuals who may require continuous monitoring of vital signs, including temperature, as a safety precaution.

The Wireless Body communication system is built on the Company's Patent No. 7,125,382 for an Embedded Bio-Sensor System. PositiveID will work with RFID Solutions, an advanced technical development group with innovative automated manufacturing and expertise in specialized requirements for sensors in RFID markets, to develop a temperature-sensing microchip for use in humans. RFID Solutions will build upon the existing technology and intellectual property portfolio of PositiveID, the creator of the world's first and only health-related implantable RFID microchip cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Company expects its Wireless Body platform will continue to evolve with the addition of other vital sign-sensing capabilities. The Company is also developing a glucose-sensing microchip, as well as other devices for improved disease management, that will be integrated with The Wireless Body.  The Wireless Body also has the ability to identify medical devices, currently catheter ports, to allow them to communicate with an external reader to ensure proper medication dosages and safety for the patient.

"The ability to continuously monitor a patient's vital signs provides a real-time gauge of their health and wellness," said Scott R. Silverman. "The addition of temperature-sensing capabilities to The Wireless Body platform is just one of many applications that we intend to provide for improved patient care. As mobile health initiatives continue to grow, we have chosen a strong development partner in RFID Solutions, which, we believe, can efficiently and expertly deliver this application for us."
