Santa Barbara, CA, July 8, 2003 - InTouch Health, Inc., the leader in remote presence technology announced today that the World Technology Network (WTN) has selected Yulun Wang, Ph.D., chairman and CEO of InTouch Health, Inc., as a finalist for the 2003 World Technology Awards in the category of Information Technology - Hardware.

The World Technology Awards were presented by the WTN in association with NASDAQ, Accenture, Microsoft, Genencor International, Dupont Textiles and Interiors, TIME magazine, Technology Review magazine, Science magazine, and Business 2.0 magazine. Selection as a finalist also means that Dr. Wang has been elected as a Fellow of the World Technology Network.

Clark, founder and chairman of the World Technology Network, stated, "The World Technology Awards program was created to recognize truly extraordinary innovation on a global scale, the sort of work that could be described as creating our collective future and changing our world. InTouch Health's contribution in the field of Information Technology has been outstanding, and their selection as a new WTN Fellow is public acknowledgement of that fact."

The new Fellows were announced on June 25, 2003 in San Francisco, at the World Technology Awards gala ceremony in the conclusion of the World Technology Summit. The World Technology Awards honor individuals and corporations from twenty technology-related sectors. Nominees were identified through an intensive, global process in which WTN members made their nominations and then voted their preferences based on who they think are most innovative and influential within their particular field.
