PositiveID Corporation Wins Gold at Connected World Value Chain Awards for Its iglucose Mobile Health Solution for Diabetes Management

June 19, 2012 By AxoGen, Inc.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PositiveID
Corporation, an emerging growth company and developer of advanced technologies
for diabetes management as well as sophisticated airborne bio-threat detection
systems for America’s homeland defense, today announced it has won the Gold
award for its iglucose(R) mobile health solution for diabetes management at
Connected World magazine’s Value Chain Awards in the Home Health category. Held
as part of the Connected World Conference, the Value Chain Awards Gala honors
success in the M2M (machine-to-machine) and connected devices marketplace.
Sierra Wireless was also honored for their role as a technology enabler for
iglucose.

PositiveID’s FDA-cleared iglucose uses mobile technology to
revolutionize the way individuals with diabetes manage their condition. By
wirelessly communicating data from glucometers to the iglucose diabetes
management portal, glucose readings can be shared with family members and
healthcare professionals. This makes it possible to improve care in a
cost-effective manner. iglucose eliminates the burden of keeping logbooks and
empowers individuals with diabetes to be more engaged in the self-management of
their condition. iglucose is compatible with leading FDA-cleared glucometers
and does not require the use of a cell phone or a wireless plan.

“The 2012 winners represent successful implementations
in home health, education, emergency response, tracking, and even the
prevention of distracted driving. This is a great illustration as to how M2M
technology and connected devices can be relied upon to not only make our lives
more convenient and efficient, but much safer and responsible,” says Peggy
Smedley, editorial director, Connected World.

William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, said,
“Winning gold at Connected World’s Value Chain Awards is another
validation of the mobile health community’s belief in the value of
iglucose.”

The iglucose system collects and transmits stored data from
a variety of FDA-cleared blood glucose meters such as Johnson & Johnson
LifeScan(R), Abbott FreeStyle(R), Bayer Contour(R), and Nipro Diagnostic(TM)
True(TM) monitoring systems to a secure database via wireless cellular
technology. The Company is continually adding to this list of supported glucose
meters. For more information on iglucose, visit www.iglucose.com.
