Press Release Summary: San Diego, CA, September 19, 2007 -- A recently released
computer application called Med Records to GoTM, that stores electronic medical
records, can help reduce errors in emergency conditions, as well as in hospital or
medical clinic admissions. Introduced by the Vital Record Corporation in November,
2006, Med Records to GoTM uses flash drive technology to record and store health
information for emergency viewing by medical personnel. In addition to the standard
"thumb" style flash drive, a new credit card style flash drive is now available for
the storage of medical records.

Press Release Body: The credit card flash drive can be conveniently carried in a
wallet or purse. The card drive is slightly thicker than a conventional credit card
and can hold up to 64MB of Med Records to GoTM medical information.

For attachment to a computer, the drive includes an imbedded connector in the body
of the card style unit. The connector is simply snapped out of the card body and
plugged into the standard port of a computer. When disconnected from the computer,
the connector is snapped back into the body. Thus, the connector does not hang loose
for possible breakage if the unit is mishandled or if carried in a wallet or purse.

The Med Records to GoTM computer application is the same application that resides on
the standard "thumb" style flash drive. All software, controls, and electronic
medical records are contained in the credit card style unit. The health information
is kept private and secure and not vulnerable to access on the public Internet. For
additional security, the medical data stored in the card style unit is encrypted and
cannot be read using any other application.

No Internet connection to an external organization is ever required to place medical
information on the credit card style unit. The Med Records to GoTM application of
the card unit provides direct update and access to a person's health information,
including such information as identification, medications, doctors, caregivers,
insurance carriers, and family history. Other medical disclosure information is also
provided, such as DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) orders, living and testamentary trusts
and wills. Additionally, a digital photograph of the owner may be recorded as part
of the medical data.

Emergency medical personnel have immediate access to the health information by
browsing the various pages contained on the credit card style storage unit. No
special application knowledge is required to view the data because a standard
Internet browser is used. As an option, the health information can be stored on a
cell phone and subsequently displayed using key selection available on the phone.

The additional cell phone feature of Med Records to GoTM incorporates the
transmission of electronic medical records from the credit card storage unit to a
standard cell phone. A temporary Internet connection is required to send the medical
data in encrypted form to the Vital Record Corporation server before placement on
the cell phone. In addition to medical data encryption, user identification and
password controls are used for storing and retrieving the medical data from the
Vital Record server.
