CARY, NC – March 23, 2011 – Connected Development today announced it has completed development for PositiveID Corporation’s (NASDAQ: PSID) iglucose™ mobile health solution for real-time diabetes management and delivered the product to PositiveID. Connected Development is currently demonstrating iglucose at its booth #1875 in the M2M Zone at CTIA Wireless 2011.

“We’re very pleased to be selected by PositiveID for this assignment and to showcase iglucose in our exhibit,” said Stefan Lindvall, president of Connected Development. “It is a tremendous credit to the team to have been an integral part of the development of such an innovative mobile Health solution with great potential for global market adoption.”

The competitively-priced iglucose is a wireless communication device for the automatic transmission of blood glucose readings from data-capable glucometers to the iglucose database. It functions without the use of a cellular telephone, telephone line or personal computer. Users simply connect their data-capable glucometer to iglucose and within seconds data is wirelessly transmitted to the iglucose database. Designed to take the work out of diabetes management, iglucose automatically creates the logs and journals which the American Diabetes Association says are an important assessment of an individual’s response to their diabetes care plan.

Connected Development handled the hardware design and embedded software development on the device and is currently taking it through pre-certification testing as the next step to marketability.

PositiveID has also finalized the product/mechanical design and back-end software architecture for iglucose, which is based on Web 2.0 methodologies and facilitates an intuitive user interface, and user-centric design of the application, and which is also on display at Connected Development’s exhibit.

“We have been very pleased with the support we’ve received from Connected Development,” said Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID. “We simply couldn’t have gotten so far, so fast without their impressive team of wireless experts.”
