New Capturx Healthcare Solutions to Be Highlighted at HIMSS 2009

Adapx, the company that is changing the way mobile workers collect and share data, today announced new Capturx(TM) healthcare solutions which integrate handwritten medical data into Microsoft(TM) Office using digital pens. From April 5-8, attendees of next week's Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference at McCormick Place in Chicago can learn more about the new Capturx healthcare solutions in Booth #636. Visitors will see live demos of how Capturx is being used by the Department of Defense and Holland America Line to instantly digitize medical forms as they are being filled out with pen and paper. In addition, attendees can learn more about how the Capturx diagnostic tools are helping medical teams streamline the recording and sharing of paper-based tests with clinicians to diagnose potential brain injuries.

Holland America Line and the Department of Defense Enjoy the Benefits of Capturx

Holland America Line collects and tracks a range of health information for employees ranging from immunization records to treatment at their state-of-the-art shipboard medical facilities. Most of that information starts on paper but ultimately needs to be stored and accessible in a secure digital environment.

"We turned to Capturx Forms for Excel to help us streamline the data entry and scanning of medical forms," said Dan Grausz, senior vice president, fleet operations, Holland America Line. "Since the Capturx pen digitizes all of our data, we don't have to worry about the tedious tasks of scanning or re-entering data. Most importantly, we avoid disrupting our shipboard teams by changing their workflow or deploying mobile computers."

Following are other examples of how the Department of Defense is using Capturx:

--  Medical teams are using the Capturx medical forms solution to treat
    wounded warriors. Using Capturx Forms for Excel 2007, digital pens, and the
    automated Field Medical Card (DD Form 1380), military medical teams can
    easily record and create a digital file that contains critical information
    about wounded soldiers. The digital file immediately becomes part of the
    soldiers' permanent medical record and can easily be accessed by any
    treating physician.

--  Medical teams are using the Capturx diagnostic tools to automate pen
    and paper based screening tests to help with the diagnosis of Traumatic
    Brain Injury (TBI). Using the Capturx software with digital pens, teams can
    record and playback a range of tests, helping medical teams streamline
    their testing, consultations, and record keeping.

Interested attendees can register for the event at: http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=6A-4E-AA-19-0D-DC-A2-A5-18-3B-97-46-85-1C-D7-59&Culture=en-US

On Tuesday, April 7 at 11:00 am CT, Adapx will be in the Microsoft Booth #1232 presenting a case study on how the Department of Defense is using Capturx.

"We're excited to be working with Adapx," said Molly McCarthy, product manager at Microsoft. "Capturx is a great example of the power of the Office 2007 platform -- partners can build innovative solutions and customers get the power of immediate actionable digital data from paper forms."

For people who are not attending HIMSS, Adapx will be hosting a free Webcast on April 14 at 2:00 pm ET. To register, please visit Adapx's Web site at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/464043287.
