Biosign's Health Monitor System will be shown at MEDICA 2011

TORONTO, Nov. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Biosign Technologies Inc. (TSXV: BIO) announces today that their European distribution partner MedVec, in cooperation with partner company Ulti Med Products (Deutschland) GmbH, will showcase Biosign solutions, including the UFIT® TEN-10 Blood Pressure monitor and cardiovascular health software at MEDICA in Dusseldorf Germany, November 16-19 in Hall 3, Booth 41.

"Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Germany with more than 400,000 fatalities a year linked directly to CVD. The German social health system spends over €40 billion (about $60 billion U.S.) each year on CVD," said MedVec Founder & CEO Mr. Knut Butzinger. "Biosign offers patients, caregivers and payers accurate cardiovascular health data that will improve quality of care and reduce costs associated with CVD. The UFIT health monitor could provide warning alerts that would flag 'at risk' patients for early interventions, reducing costs associated with emergency care. We are very excited about offering Biosign's technology to the state agencies and organizations we work with."

MedVec International is headquartered in Neckargemünd, Germany (near Heidelberg) and specializes in marketing, sales and distribution of innovative diagnostic technologies covering women's health, family health and diabetes to Germany, France, Austria and several other European countries. The German Pharmacists Association (BDA) recently awarded the MedVec "Yes or No" early detection pregnancy test "Medical Product of the Year 2011."

"Cardiovascular disease screening and monitoring could turn the tide on CVD medical costs in Germany," said Dr. Scott Jenkins, Biosign CEO. "Partnerships with best in class providers like MedVec allow us to work closely with German healthcare organizations and provide customized solutions that meet specific localized needs."

MEDICA is considered the premier Global Medical Industry trade show and exhibition which regularly features 4,400 exhibitors. MEDICA is known to have up to 138,000 participants from over 100 countries looking at the current and potential future trends for patient care.
