ZyDoc Selects Xybernaut as Wearable Computing Platform for Electronic Medical Records and Transcription

FAIRFAX, Va. -- HIPAA-Compliant Hardware-Software Solution Improves Medical Record Accuracy, Increases Physician Efficiency and Enhanced Knowledge Management

Xybernaut(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:XYBR) and ZyDoc Corporation today announced a partnership relationship under which Xybernaut mobile/wearable computing technologies and the ZyDoc medical documentation applications have been combined into a single solution for a variety of institutional and private-practice medical purposes.

Under the partnership relationship, ZyDoc has joined Team Xybernaut(TM) as a systems integrator/solution provider working with Xybernaut in the healthcare and medical sectors. Both companies have been working together for more than six months to develop and deploy the integrated medical record platform.

The mobile/wearable solutions are initially being offered on the Xybernaut Atigo(R) wearable computers. The complete turnkey systems consist of the Xybernaut Atigo computer running ZyDoc speech recognition and multimodal software with handwriting recognition software, ZyDoc transcription tools (ZipDoc(TM)), wireless networking capabilities for transferring captured data, and web-based resources for viewing and managing patient information (TrackDoc(TM)).

"The mobility and point-of-task computing power afforded by the joint Xybernaut-ZyDoc solution allows physicians increased flexibility in data capture and greater accessibility to knowledge at critical moments," said James M. Maisel, M.D., chairman and founder of ZyDoc. "Speech recognition solves the critical time factor for physicians, however, the need to communicate with other physicians as rapidly and seamlessly as possible is even more paramount. We believe an automated Internet-based medical records solution serves both of these needs equally well."

Initial customers of the joint solution could include physicians looking for increased accuracy, speed and quality of data capture when the mobile computing devices are deployed to support their day-to-day operations. This type of deployment is a good example of the potential for the joint system.
