Movea Accelerates Expansion of MotionIC™ Platform

Increases Focus on Development of MotionIC IP and Technology; Transfers Gyration Assets to SMK-Link

Grenoble, France - February 22, 2011 -- Movea, the pioneer in motion-sensing and motion-control technologies, is accelerating development of its MotionIC™ platform as a result of heightened industry demand since the launch of the platform in fall 2010. As part of this strategy, Movea has sold the assets of its Gyration business unit to SMK-Link. Under the terms of the agreement, SMK-Link becomes a customer of Movea and will license Movea's SmartMotion™, MotionIC and MotionTools™ technologies.

In recent months, Movea has announced design wins with a SmartMotion™ remote control for French IPTV provider Free and a motion-enabled, RF4CE remote control reference design from Texas Instruments. Additionally, the company has announced strategic partnerships with SMK Europe and Sunrex Technology to co-develop motion enabled products built on the MotionIC platform.

“The market has responded incredibly well to our MotionIC message,” said Sam Guilaumé, CEO of Movea. “The increased demand we've seen over the last 6 months showed us that it’s time to accelerate our MotionIC strategy and take it to the next level. This deal furthers our strategy and makes it possible for us to focus on our core mission to make motion sensing ubiquitous through development and promotion of MotionIC technologies.”

Movea is engaged in a range of markets including Sports, Wellness and Healthcare, and the very promising interactive TV which includes: Connected TV’s, IPTV, and advanced set-top boxes for Cable and Satellite services. Research firm DisplaySearch, in its Q4’10 Quarterly TV Design and Features Report, predicts 63 million televisions sold in 2011 will include internet connectivity, a number that DisplaySearch expects to almost double by 2014 to more than 122 million units per year.

“One of the most exciting areas of innovation we saw at CES this year focused on Internet connected TV’s,” said Bryan Hoadley, EVP of WW Sales and GM of Movea. “The growth of interactive entertainment is driving enormous demand to incorporate motion into the experience. Movea's MotionIC capabilities enable TV OEM’s, remote control and set-top box manufacturers, and PayTV service providers to more rapidly develop motion-equipped products that enhance the user experience and create new levels of interactivity. We're excited about this market and MotionIC is paving the way.”

hCG Training with the IAPAM Qualifies Physicians for Special MedMal Program


The IAPAM is committed to educating physicians in the industry’s best practices for hCG for medical weight loss management. In support of this commitment, the IAPAM has created the industry's most comprehensive hCG training for physicians who want to add hCG for weight loss and other medical weight management treatments to their practices.

Las Vegas, NV, February 22, 2011 -- The IAPAM's hCG Physician Training program (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training) covers all the latest advancements in Medical Weight Loss, including: hCG, B6/B12 injections, ketogenic diets, VLCD and LCD, meal replacements, prescription medications for weight loss, and laser assisted liposuction. Now, attendees at the also qualify for a special medical malpractice insurance program. The IAPAM's hCG Training session is a response to the overwhelming interest of IAPAM members in offering hCG and other weight management treatments to their patients. Today the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) announces it offers the only hCG Medical Weight Management training in North America approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM. This medical malpractice coverage is not offered to any other hCG training program. 
 
Furthermore, special medical malpractice insurance rates are not the only benefit to being certified by the IAPAM. The IAPAM's Weight Management session is the most complete and comprehensive offered in North America. The IAPAM's program gives doctors "all the information they need to start offering medical weight loss programs to their patients immediately upon returning to their practices," emphasizes Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM and one of the IAPAM faculty instructors presenting at the IAPAM's hCG training. 
 
Coupled with unsurpassed clinical and business intelligence, attendees will also receive a CD including the IAPAM's comprehensive hCG for Weight Loss medical history form, the IAPAM's hCG informed consent form, as well as other marketing resources, and waiting room presentations. Equally, registrants receive the IAPAM's hCG Physician Handbook, and a copy of the IAPAM's hCG Patient Guidebook which can be re-ordered and distributed to all hCG patients. Finally, attendees leave with a directory of contacts including: a compounding pharmacy where they can order their hCG at a special discount, a contact for meal replacements products, and a contact for metabolic assessment tools, like those showcased on the hit TV series, The Biggest Loser (tm). 
 
"We not only cover hCG for weight loss, but B6/B12 injections, pharmacology, ketogenic and other diets, as well as VLCD/LCD meal replacement programs," asserts Russell. "Through the development and delivery of this comprehensive and timely training, the IAPAM re-affirms its commitment to physicians, to provide the industry’s foremost aesthetic medicine and now medically supervised weight loss education. The IAPAM has long been recognized as the leading Botox training, dermal filler training, and laser training provider in North America, and now our new hCG for Medical Weight Loss certification has also been recognized by a principal insurance provider."
