LifeWatch AG signs agreement to bring its cardiac monitoring business to
the Turkish market

Zug/Switzerland, July 13, 2015 - LifeWatch AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: LIFE), a
leading developer and provider of medical solutions and remote diagnostic
monitoring services in the digital health market, is pleased to announce
the signing of an agreement to bring its cardiac monitoring business to the
Turkish market.

Following extensive discussions and market research, LifeWatch will
establish a joint venture with a group of well-established Turkish
entrepreneurs to introduce its cardiac monitoring services to the Turkish
market. The Turkish entrepreneurs will provide reliable access to
infrastructure and trained staff, which will be necessary for the
setting-up and running of a call center, whilst LifeWatch will supply the
knowledge and necessary devices to successfully run the business. Following
a successful market introduction of the cardiac monitoring business,
LifeWatch also anticipates bringing to market some of its other products
such as the Vital Signs Patch. Turkey, with a population of over 77
million, has a very modern and well-developed healthcare system, which is
keen to embrace leading edge digital health technology. Turkey is also a
growing health hub for many patients from other Turkmen and Middle East
countries and can therefore be utilized as a stepping-stone to these other
markets.

This agreement represents LifeWatch's first significant move towards the
internationalization of its business. Dr. Stephan Rietiker, CEO of
LifeWatch, stated: "I am very excited about this joint venture since it
will enable LifeWatch to expand its cardiac monitoring device offerings for
patients outside of the US for the first time. Furthermore Turkey is a
large market with significant potential and can additionally serve as a
gateway to other Turkmen states."

The joint venture will set-up the necessary infrastructure over the next
few months and expects to begin sales activities in early 2016.
