Connectyx Technologies Holdings Group, Consult A Doctor sign joint venture

Apr 9 2010

Connectyx Technologies Holdings Group Inc. (OTCPK: CTYX) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a joint marketing agreement with Consult A Doctor to provide MedFlash® Personal Health Manager (PHM) to the more than 36 million Americans who are currently being treated via Telemedicine.  According to the agreement, Connectyx will be able to offer its MedFlash members Telehealth services through Consult A Doctor as part of its extended member benefits programs.  Market analyst Datamonitor predicts that the overall global telehealth market is expected to exceed $8 billion by 2012.

According to The American Medical Association as many as 70% of all doctor visits are for information only or for matters that can be handled over the phone. The cost of health insurance for a family of four is over $1,200 per month. Consumers in this country are looking for affordable, convenient, and time effective ways to consult with a doctor and get maintenance medications. In addition, research indicates that the loss of wages, time and productivity from unnecessary Emergency Room (ER) and doctor visits for non-emergencies and simple prescription refills is costing this country hundreds of billions.  In total, as much as $300 billion of health care costs are unnecessary, inappropriate and/or wasteful. This results in higher insurance costs for groups and individuals.

"The Joint Venture between MedFlash® and Consult A Doctor will help millions of Americans save time and money during this Health Care Crisis," stated Ronn Schumann, CEO Connectyx.

Telemedicine was developed to serve a growing number of people in dire need of medical services and medications. Connectyx' MedFlash® and Consult A Doctor will team up to offer its products and services to the following individuals in need of medical attention:

1. The over 50 million people in the US alone that do not have insurance and are in need of health services and prescription medications but have few choices for preventative and long-term care;
2. The millions who may be insured but are afraid or embarrassed to go to the doctor but need to consult with a doctor about their personal, chronic and/or embarrassing condition.
3. The millions who may be unable to leave their homes or live in many rural areas and do not have access to adequate, timely health care.
