SAN DIEGO — January 26, 2006 — VisionTree Software (www.visiontree.com) makers of relevant decision support systems, announced today that attendees at The Health and Human Capital Management Congress (www.worldcongress.com) successfully applied the VisionTree Conference Wireless PDA audience response system for their meeting which took place from January 23-25, 2006 at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington D.C.. The VisionTree Conference Platform facilitated participants in submitting questions and collecting group input to generate new ideas and enhance collaboration. The VisionTree Conference Platform leverages the state-of-the-art online and wireless technology of VisionTree, the leader in decision making and planning applications for patients, physicians and healthcare organizations.

The Health and Human Capital Management Congress is a premier gathering of international experts in business, technology, administration and policy-making in the healthcare industry. The meeting illuminates the world's leading strategies transforming health care. Moderators and panelists who interacted with the VisionTree system included Milton Friedman, PhD, Senior Research Fellow Hoover Institution, Stanford University; Recipient of the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize for Economic Science, Gary Becker, PhD, Professor, Department of Economics & Sociology; Graduate School of Business University of Chicago; Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University; Recipient of the 1992 Nobel Memorial Prize for Economic Science and Hon. Tommy G. Thompson, Former Secretary U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Four-Term Governor of Wisconsin; Independent Chairman Deloitte Center for Health Solutions.

Conference participants were given wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs) loaded with the interactive VisionTree Conference software. The software allowed panelists to present information, gain immediate feedback from the audience through custom surveys and free-text input, and collaborate in real-time while gathering relevant data. The VisionTree Conference Platform also presented the data to the audience in graphs and charts for immediate analysis.

After using the VisionTree Conference Platform as a participant during the conference, Ray Werntz, Senior Consultant of HPN Worldwide stated, "Using the PDAs made it easy to craft succinct questions which the entire audience could see and more effectively interact with the panelists. This real-time input was instantly graphed into meaningful charts, which provided important insight of the audience's perceptions of the emerging healthcare strategies discussed by the panelists. This should be the technology for the future for all conferences."

The VisionTree Conference Platform has received very favorable ratings with attendees stating that the PDA system enhanced their overall meeting experience. 95% of participants felt that the real-time creation of graphs and question and answer sessions added to the effectiveness of the conference and provided them with a better experience. 90% said they felt their voice was heard and more than 50% visited the follow-up website to download presentations and review results throughout the three-day conference.

Ron Cornell, Executive Director of the Health & Human Capital Management Congress, said: "I have produced content-focused events for many years in healthcare and found that the VisionTree experience contributed to content in terms of evals, delegate feedback, tracking, surveys, and management of data beyond expectations."

VisionTree Software President Martin Pellinat said, "We share the commitment of World Congress to making significant advances in health care cost and quality. With VisionTree applications, we are addressing the needs of improving the results, efficiency and documentation in the healthcare industry and we are proud to be partnered with the World Congress."
