invivodata and ClinPhone Announce Exclusive Global Partnership for ePRO Solutions

(Nottingham, UK and Pittsburgh, PA, USA 30 April 2008). ClinPhone, the world's
largest Clinical Technology Organization (CTO) and invivodata inc., the leading
provider of device-based eDiaries, announced today an exclusive new global
partnership to provide electronic patient reported outcomes (ePRO) solutions.

This new partnership will deliver best-of-breed offerings for the two most commonly
used ePRO modalities-device-based and IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System) to
pharmaceutical and biotech companies. As part of this collaboration, ClinPhone joins
invivodata's PROPartner Program, which enables invivodata customers to leverage the
strengths of an impressive roster of affiliate technology and service companies
whose offerings have been identified as \"best-in-class\" in their respective market
areas.

The alliance between these two industry leaders brings customers a combination of
support and expertise that surpasses anything currently offered in the marketplace
in terms of helping them understand which modality would be best suited for their
study.

ClinPhone and invivodata both focus heavily on regulatory and psychometric
validation issues. In addition, both companies have strong relationships with
industry thought leaders and instrument authors, furthering the value that this
partnership will bring to customers.

Doug Engfer, Founder, President and CEO of invivodata stated, "Successful use of
ePRO today requires an in-depth understanding of scientific and regulatory
considerations, coupled with appropriate technology and complete global support
services. invivodata and ClinPhone have collaborated on and shared in many of the
same efforts, organizations and events designed to promote sound ePRO research. This
formal partnership strengthens this collaboration and delivers real value and
best-of-breed solutions to our clients."

Steve Kent, CEO of ClinPhone comments, "Usage of PRO and ePRO in clinical trials is
increasing. By offering invivodata's device-based ePRO options to our customers, we
can expand our ability to meet their broader ePRO needs. This partnership also
means we are able to provide sponsors with additional balanced and science-based
guidance in line with evolving regulatory considerations."
