New Therapeutic Music Apps from Coro Health Revolutionize Eldercare

Coro Health, LLC, a new media healthcare company, announced today the launch of
MusicFirst: Eldercare and MusicFirst: Alzheimer`s.The new mHealth therapeutic
music applications promise to revolutionize eldercare.

For the first time, individuals, family members, as well as professional
caregivers can access clinically proven, personalized therapeutic music programs
previously only available to large healthcare organizations. MusicFirst:
Eldercare and MusicFirst: Alzheimer`s are both available in the Apple iTunes
store and offer three free hours.

Unlike music radio apps that provide music based on genre and popularity,
MusicFirst`s programs are designed by a respected team of music therapists,
designers and neuroscientists specifically for use with elders in home as well
as in a broad range of healthcare environments.

Over the coming weeks, Coro Health will continue rolling out a suite of
therapeutic music and related content offerings targeted to additional segments
of the healthcare community. These include Oncology, Expectant Mothers and Calm
Baby as well as CoroFaith: addressing the critical spiritual dimension of health
and well-being.

"Professionals and family members recognize that the people in their care
deserve to benefit from a more sophisticated approach to utilizing the full
power of music that therapeutic music affords," says Coro Health CCO Leanne
Flask. "Our apps are the first offering that address the challenge of making
therapeutic music personalized, accessible and affordable."

While still giving the individual the choice of genre, MusicFirst allows
caregivers to select personalized therapeutic music with particular outcomes in
mind such as Energy, Relax and Sleep.Advanced options allow healthcare
professionals to also tap group Activity Music and Dining Music designed to
support well-being.

The MusicFirst: Alzheimer`s app provides access to clinically proven music
programs designed specifically to support outcomes for those suffering from
Alzheimer`s, dementia and other forms of memory impairment as well as behaviors
associated with Sundowning syndrome.

The mHealth apps are based on Coro Health`s research which was published in the
January 2012 "Journal of Music and Medicine."Results from the study included a
reduction in agitation and depression by as much as 54%.

Early adopters of Coro Health`s MusicFirst include over 1000 long-term care
communities, hospitals, rehabilitation agencies, home health companies,
consumers and third party media distributors, supporting over 100,000 people per
day.

MusicFirst: Eldercare and MusicFirst: Alzheimer`s are available in the iTunes
Store. You can download and receive the first three hours for free and then the
apps are $9.99 a month for Eldercare and $4.99 a month for Alzheimer`s.
