MEDIA, PA June 22, 2001 - Scientific Software Tools, Inc. (SST) recently delivered to
Michael H. Davidson, M.D. of Mobile Lipid Clinic a Global Risk Assessment Calculator program, a
Palm OS-based tool which allows physicians to evaluate and educate their patients about Coronary
Heart Disease (CHD) risks.
 The Global Risk Assessment Calculator, which incorporates the new National Cholesterol
Education Program Expert Panel On Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol
in Adults (Adult Treatment Panel III) guidelines, provides physicians with a unique way to
quickly and easily estimate their patients true cardiovascular risk. By entering patient test
results and history and physical data into the Global Risk Assessment Calculator, physicians can
provide their patient with a statistical evaluation of their equivalent CHD age, based on the
Framingham Heart Study. By communicating these results to the patient, the physician can
reinforce the need and motivate the patient to improve one's lifestyle and maintain the
medication program prescribed by the physician. The physician can also utilize this data to
evaluate the treatment program for the specified patient.
