BOZEN, Italy, September 7 /PRNewswire/ --     Health Robotics today announced that after a successful first year of
cooperation in Japan with Tosho Inc., the companies signed this week a
contract renewal of the CytoCare(TM) and i.v.STATION(TM) exclusive
distribution agreements, and an expansion of their strategic relationship to
include future joint-development projects in their respective areas of
Pharmacy Automation expertise.

"TOSHO is a model partner for Health Robotics to seek additional partners
in other regions of the world, as we continue to expand our global presence:
highly-competent and experienced senior executives, large pharmacy automation
footprint, company stability, world-class engineering support, and
complementary oral medication automation technologies. I feel very lucky to
have found not only a great company to partner with, but also such honest and
competent executives as well. This is turning to be an excellent summer for
Health Robotics in every continent of the world; as our customers demanded,
we have now replaced [or are about to replace] incompetent and/or overselling
local companies with competent, serious, and world-class organizations such
as TOSHO, stated Werner Rainer, Health Robotics' CEO.

"It is indeed with great pleasure that we can announce this week both the
renewal of the CytoCare and i.v.STATION exclusive distribution agreements for
the next five years, and the expansion of our strategic partnership with
Health Robotics to include future joint development projects such as for
instance Radiopharmaceuticals. In a conservative market like Japan and within
a well established company such as Tosho that greatly depends on excellent
customer satisfaction at over 18,000 customers, it was very important to have
a one-year period where we came to learn not only Health Robotics'
revolutionary technology and its potential applications in Japan, but no less
importantly to get to know Health Robotics' senior executives. We have been
very positively impressed by the true partnership qualities exhibited by
Werner Rainer and Gaspar DeViedma and equally overwhelmed by Health Robotics'
creativity and speed of development. We look forward to an enhanced
cooperation with Health Robotics in years to come", stated Yoshihito Omura,
General Manager, Tosho Inc.

Over the next three to four weeks, we will continue to share the
additional steps that Health Robotics has and will undertake in South East
Asia, Oceania, China, and Latin America, where we expect that no later than
the end of September, the company's global expansion will be culminated.
Coupled with this expansion, we expect a gigantic leap in the quality of
companies and individuals charted with local support for our Robots all over
the world, including the restitution of service to some of our CytoCare
American customers that have been affected by poor local customer support and
have recently terminated their contracts with our former distributors. These
American incidents are an isolated case in a sea of worldwide success for our
products and services, and solely attributable to certain individuals and
companies, which are no longer associated with the distribution, service, and
local support for Health Robotics' CytoCare.
