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.
