DIAGNOS inc. ("DIAGNOS" or "the Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: ADK), a

knowledge-extraction techniques, announces today that it has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding, and associated Non-Disclosure Agreement with
Zeiss Canada Ltd., the Canadian subsidiary of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG,

market.
Under the terms of the MoU, DIAGNOS and Zeiss will work together to
assure compatibility among DIAGNOS' Computer Assisted Retinal Analysis

software VisuPac, as well as jointly engage in pilot projects aimed at
testing the integrated Zeiss / DIAGNOS offering in the marketplace.

confidence in DIAGNOS, and look forward to working even more closely in
the coming months" said Andre Larente, President of DIAGNOS.

offer an enhanced fundus image reading experience for their existing and
new users, a strong relationship with a partner of Zeiss' global
importance will allow us to move quickly to finalize our validation
process and positions us well to commercialize our technology upon
