Lifestream Unveils Prototype for New Low Cost Monitor

Investors need to be watching Lifestream Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:LFTC) this AM! Lifestream develops, markets and sells a line of smart card-enabled healthcare diagnostic devices. Lifestream has developed and currently markets a line of cholesterol monitors that provide test results in three minutes for at-home use by health conscious consumers and at-risk medical patients. Lifestream just had excellent news out before today's opening bell regarding its concept product being unveiled at a recent FDA hearing! This could be great news for investors!

Lifestream Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:LFTC), a leading supplier of cholesterol monitors, unveiled a concept product at the recent FDA hearing on an over-the-counter petition for cholesterol lowering drug. Lifestream has filed a patent application for its new product that reduces the cost for devices used for both the pharmacy and home testing. The technology under development looks like a computer mouse and embodies Lifestream's optic module and strip holder but uses a PC for the balance of the functionality.

"Lifestream is continually looking for ways to reduce the cost to our customers, as well as provide greater functionality for consumers and healthcare providers alike," said Christopher Maus, Lifestream's President and CEO. "We are exploring a prototype product that allows a user to plug a 'cholesterol mouse' into their PC with all functions actually performed by the computer hardware. The product's cost is reduced by eliminating LCD displays, microprocessors and keypads. Since the mouse is connected to the computer for its functionality, i.e., the data tracking software, the Health Risk Assessment, and data storage, information transfer to healthcare providers is quick, easy, transparent and simple. This technology would allow for easy software expansion to minimize the dating of any technology. Along with weighing this product's value in the marketplace, we are currently evaluating production, features, and if and when the product will debut. Lifestream realizes the impact home testing has on an individual's efforts to take control of their own health management program, and we look forward to bringing new products to the marketplace when they are determined to be suitable."
