telemedicine and
medical informatics company, has entered into an
agreement with T.H.E. Clinic to provide CompuMed's
electrocardiogram (ECG) telemedicine and

Inc. CompuMed will provide T.H.E. Clinic with the company's ECG
telemedicine equipment and with over-reads performed remotely by
CompuMed's cardiologists and pediatric cardiologists. CompuMed's
CardioGramKids program was designed in tandem with pediatricians
and other health care providers to provide ECG screening services
to children and teenagers prior to taking psychotropic medications
or participating in school or afterschool sports programs.
"CompuMed's novel medical workflow technology solutions harness
the power of telemedicine and the Internet to enable T.H.E. Clinic
and other health care organizations to provide large numbers of
previously underserved individuals with advanced preventive and
diagnostic services," said Maurizio Vecchione, CEO of CompuMed.
"We are delighted that CompuMed is providing ECG telemedicine
equipment and services in support of our clinical efforts at
T.H.E./Lennox Healthy Start Clinic. Lennox School District is
located in one of the most medically underserved areas of Los
Angeles. CompuMed's program will assist us as we continue to
improve the lives of individuals who entrust their health care to
us," said Rise K. Phillips, CEO of T.H.E. Clinic.
The Lennox community is an unincorporated 1.3 sq. mile area of
metropolitan Los Angeles situated between Hawthorne, Inglewood and
the Los Angeles International Airport. The schools comprising the
Lennox School District are Buford, Felton, Huerta, Jefferson and
Moffett Elementary Schools, Lennox Middle School 6, Lennox Middle
School 7-8, the Early Learning School Readiness Center, and two
charter high schools, Amino Leadership High and Lennox Academy of
Mathematics, Science and Technology. In 2010, the Lennox Academy
was ranked 25th from among more than 21,000 public schools in U.S.
News & World Report's "America's Best High Schools."
"By utilizing CompuMed's ECG telemedicine technology, we can
deliver ECG services to Lennox School District and our other
clients," said Tracy Robinson, M.D., Medical Director of T.H.E.

educated and more secure community and reduced health care costs
system wide," added Dr. Robinson.
