Amber Pharmacy and ALR Technologies Team Up to Provide ALR Technologies' Constant Health Companion to Organ Transplant Patients

WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 12, 2006 -- ALR Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ALRT) announces they have reached agreement with Amber Pharmacy, based in Omaha, NE, for Amber Pharmacy to provide the Constant Health Companion™ patient compliance system to organ transplant patients across the nation. Amber Pharmacy provides specialized care and personal solutions to thousands of transplant patients in the U.S. They have offices in Omaha, Philadelphia, Dallas and Chicago.

According to Tim Kaplan, COO of Amber Pharmacy, transplant coordinators are continuously asking about ways to improve their patients' compliance. "As incredible as it may sound, many organ transplant recipients do not adhere to their medication regimen and we are always talking to transplant coordinators about ways to improve the patient's adherence. We're excited about the potential for the Constant Health Companion to bring this much-needed service to the thousands of patients who receive the life-sustaining organs. The ability to monitor the patient's compliance is likewise essential because if a person is not being compliant we will know about it much earlier than previously."

"Our plans are to begin offering the Constant Health Companion in February of 2007 and in the meantime we'll be putting together a program for use with our current patients and with our transplant program coordinators. There are more than 30,000 new recipients of organs each year and the availability of the Constant Health Companion can help change their lives."

The Constant Health Companion is a compliance reminder and monitoring system that alerts the patient when it's time to take a medication or treatment; displays the exact actions to take on a screen and the patients' compliance can be remotely monitored by a health care provider. The Constant Health Companion has been in use, with positive results, in pilots with transplant patients since February 2006. Missed medications and treatments or even lateness of administration can result in adverse affects and complications. Losing a transplanted organ has the obvious health effects with the patient as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional costs to health insurance providers.

Noncompliance is widespread in recipients of life-sustaining organs and the necessity for the patient to adhere to the medications and treatments is so important due to the life-saving nature of the procedure. Patients who are noncompliant with transplant medications have lower anti-rejection drug levels, more acute rejection, and more chronic graft loss and medication noncompliance is a leading cause of morbidity in pediatric transplant recipients.
