We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year.

Wellstar/TMI Imaging System Begins Marketing to Long-Term Care Facilities

HOLLAND, OH -- (Marketwire) -- 01/05/09 -- Wellstar International, Inc. (OTCBB: WLSI), a provider of specialized diagnostic software and equipment, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trillennium Medical Imaging ("TMI"), is ready to begin marketing its thermal imaging system to long-term care ("LTC") facilities in the United States. National statistics currently show that the incidence rate of pressure ulcers, commonly known as bed sores, is up to 28% of the population for those living in LTC facilities; with many leading experts believing the rate is even higher.

LTC facilities generally care for patients that are critically and/or terminally ill, bed-ridden, and that show higher rates of dementia; all indicators that put an individual at risk for developing a pressure ulcer. TMI's thermal imaging diagnostic device will equip care personnel at these facilities with the ability to objectively identify patterns of injury associated with the development of pressure ulcers. This kind of early detection can lead to intervention and even prevention. By identifying the tissue changes associated with the development of these wounds prior to skin breakdown, a patient can receive considerably better care by avoiding pressure ulcer occurrence altogether. When long-term care facilities can reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers, they receive a higher rating in the pay for performance ("P4P") initiative from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS").

Utilizing TMI's thermal imaging system technology will enable an LTC facility to provide better overall patient care and significantly lower its pressure ulcer incidence rate. By having complete documentation of every skin assessment performed, an LTC facility can mostly curtail its liabilities by protecting itself against costly lawsuits.

With nearly 16,000 long-term care facilities in the United States, and an aging population that is increasing in numbers year after year, TMI has an enormous and largely untouched market to go after with its revolutionary system. TMI's marketing plan includes a program where LTC facilities can lease the equipment necessary to perform skin assessments and store the necessary data. Lease plans start at a minimal monthly fee of $2,000 per unit. This monthly fee allows for unlimited imaging, a factor that should help promote aggressive imaging/assessment programs by these facilities.

Wellstar/TMI CEO, John Antonio, commented: "We have already seen a positive response to our thermal imaging system among the LTC facilities we have been engaged with. We expect significant revenue potential within the LTC market, and the Company anticipates placing initial units within these facilities sometime within the first quarter of 2009."

The company has developed its thermal imaging system for various applications. The TMI technology and software has been approved by the FDA as an Adjunctive Diagnostic Screening Procedure for early breast cancer detection, differential diagnoses of pain dysfunctions (such as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Neuromuscular Skeletal Syndromes and neurological disorders), for the early detection of pressure ulcers, deep tissue injuries, and bedsores, as well as for orthopedic applications. The company has plans to market diagnostic systems for all of the above mentioned applications.

ABOUT WELLSTAR INTERNATIONAL, INC.:

Wellstar International, Inc., through its wholly owned operating subsidiary Trillennium Medical Imaging, Inc. (TMI), is poised to become a leading diagnostic company in the health care industry. TMI has developed and is marketing fully calibrated and functional, thermal imaging systems that utilize state-of-the-art infrared technologies and proprietary software to accurately and cost-effectively measure physiological changes in the human body.
