LifeWatch now operational in Turkey


Zug/Switzerland, March 27, 2017 - 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 that
its Turkish subsidiary, LifeWatch Saglik Hizmetleri A.S., is now fully
operational and has started to provide cardiac diagnostic monitoring services to
a limited number of Turkish patients. This pre-launch pilot phase lasting three
weeks with 60 to 70 volunteer patients in 9 hospitals will allow for a
well-controlled entry into the Turkish market and will enable LifeWatch Saglik
Hizmetleri to be prepared for a full launch starting mid-April 2017.

LifeWatch's cardiac diagnostic monitoring service is unique in the Turkish
healthcare system. Initial feedback from private and public hospitals, payors
and government officials has been very encouraging. "This marks a key milestone
in LifeWatch's company history. We look forward to serving healthcare providers
and patients, helping them to address a significant unmet need across the
Turkish population. In turn, we fully expect that LifeWatch Saglik Hizmetleri
will significantly contribute to our Group's financial results", said Dr.
Stephan Rietiker, CEO of LifeWatch AG.
