 Primary Care Trust selects iPoint-media's interactive 'Telemedicine' solution
                    to offer improved diabetes patient care

       'GOliveCare' offers patients a converged 3G/Web interaction portal

iPoint-media (LSE:IPNT), a provider of live, interactive video calling
application platforms for web, mobile and media, announces that Southampton City
Primary Care Trust ("PCT") has been working with the Company to develop an
internet-based solution to provide remote medical services, via web and 3G
mobile, for people suffering from chronic diseases. Patients will be able to
access the system via web or 3G mobile in order to post test results directly to
their health care provider, access a blogging area where they can communicate
online with clinical staff, record or upload video messages for medical staff to
visually observe how they are doing, interact with clinical specialists in live
audio or video calls and schedule appointments. The new service will provide
patients with an accelerated and more responsive care service as well as
reducing the required number of visits needed to be made to local clinics and
hospitals, enabling patients to take more control over their health and
wellbeing.

This innovative approach to medical care is part of a wider EU based '
telemedicine' initiative that is looking at ways to improve the quality of care
for patients with long-term health conditions through the application of live
remote access technologies. Development of the project was completed in November
and will be rolled out early next year along with a range of other '
telemedicine' solutions that Southampton City PCT is continuing to develop with
iPoint-media. The 'GOliveCare' solution will initially be used in the care of
diabetes patients, giving them ongoing communication via web and 3G mobile with
specialist teams who will offer support and education.

Lee Woodland, iPoint-media's Director of Telecom Products commented:

"GOliveCare has been designed to provide patients with the highest level of
personal medical care using our innovative live interactive telemedicine
technology. Our solution will improve the quality of life for patients with
long-term illnesses while enabling them to manage their condition more
effectively and conveniently."

Debbie Clarke, Associate Director for 'Adults and Older Persons' Services' for
Southampton City PCT commented:

"This is an exciting opportunity for patients in Southampton. iPoint-media's
solution will enable live access to specialist staff from the comfort of
people's own homes or work places. We are piloting this for people with diabetes
in the first instance but wish to expand the use of this technology to other
patients with long-term conditions who could equally benefit from its
capabilities.

iPoint-media expects the success of Southampton City PCT's innovative healthcare
concept to lead to more expanded use of the GOliveCare solution in other PCT's
and other EU health organizations.
