Triage Wireless Expands Management Team in Anticipation of Product Scale-Up in
2009

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Triage Wireless, Inc. today announced that
James Moon, a noted innovator in the development of patient monitoring
systems, has been appointed chief technology officer. In this role, Moon will
lead product development of the Company's first hospital-grade patient
monitoring system.

Moon's record of innovation spans 26 years. Most recently he was chief
executive officer of LifeCom, Inc., where he played a key role in the
development of artificial intelligence systems for medical diagnosis.

Moon initially established his reputation at SpaceLabs where he directed the
development of the first ethernet based critical care monitoring system. In
1986 he founded and served as chief executive officer of Protocol Systems,
Inc., which pioneered the development of portable patient monitoring systems
that remain the industry standard today. The company, initially venture
financed, became publicly traded in 1992 and was acquired by Welch Allyn in
2000. The Propaq(R) Monitor is still sold by Welch Allyn today.

Triage Wireless is developing and will market the ViSi(TM) Rapid Response
System, a wireless, continuous monitoring system for ambulatory patients. It
will alert clinicians to early changes in vital signs that can signal
deterioration in a patient's condition. The Company plans to incorporate its
proprietary continuous non-invasive blood pressure technology into the device
and initiated clinical trials during December 2008.

"Jim Moon brings extensive experience in the patient monitoring field along
with a record of successfully developing and commercializing innovative
products," said Tom Watlington, Triage Wireless chief executive officer. "His
addition strengthens our management team and will allow Matt Banet, our
founder and chief scientific officer, to focus on research into novel sensing
technologies, which will be a key to maintaining our technological advantage."

"Patient vital signs can provide the first clue to adverse changes in a
patient's condition," said Moon. "Triage Wireless is on the leading edge of
technology that has the potential to conveniently and cost-effectively enhance
patient safety. I look forward to working with the Triage Wireless management
team to advance our vision."

Moon has served on the Triage Wireless board of directors since February 2008
but will leave the board to assume his new role. He has also served on the
boards of other public and privately held companies. A past recipient of Inc.
Magazine's Entrepreneur of the Year for the Northwest region, Moon is active
in entrepreneurial efforts and has served as chairman of the Oregon chapter of
the American Electronics Association.
