LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - November 23, 2009) - MMR Information Systems, Inc. (OTCBB : MMRF )
("MMR") announced today it will add a clinical trials information service
to its MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record site,
www.mymedicalrecords.com. The feature, being developed with Global Research
Services, LLC ("GRS"), will enable visitors to easily find upcoming and
ongoing clinical trials for patients, friends and family members who may be
seeking new channels for treatment of disease. The information service will
be offered as part of MMR's secure and easy-to-use Personal Health Record
("PHR") that provides individuals and families access to their medical
records and other important documents anytime from anywhere in the world
using the Internet.
Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMR Information Systems, Inc., noted,
"Having a Personal Health Record helps reduce medical costs and save lives.
The ability to assist users in finding clinical trials adds to the value of
MMR's core product and attracts users to the Company's website. By working
with GRS to help provide pertinent and current information about locating
and identifying clinical trials to fight disease, MMR Information Systems
offers a valuable tool that could potentially prove beneficial to both
patients and their physicians."

management organization. GRS, headquartered in Rockville, Maryland with
