Business Wire, May 22, 2008

LOS ANGELES -- CompuMed Inc. (OTCBB:CMPD) -- a medical informatics company serving the healthcare community with diagnostic software solutions -- today announced the election of Mark Crockett to its Board of Directors. The company also announced the election of Mark Stolper as Board chairman, replacing Simon James, who steps down as chairman but remains on the Board.

Since 2005, Crockett has served as a principal of NightWatch Capital, a mid-size value oriented hedge fund. He has also worked since 1999 with Harvest Earnings and its predecessor organizations, where he has consulted with mid-cap and large companies to improve performance and achieve typical earnings gains of 25-100 percent.

"Mark Crockett brings invaluable experience in building shareholder value for young companies while improving operational controls," said Stolper. "He strengthens CompuMed's team at a time when key strategies that have been incubated by the Company are beginning to mature and require strong execution by both the Company and its advisors."

From 1999 to 2002, Crockett was CEO of Tax One, where he grew the venture-backed tax preparation firm from a few locations to more than 80 locations in several states before selling it to H&R Block. From 1994 to 1999, he was a consultant with McKinsey & Company, where he focused on strategy, M&A and marketing for clients in the healthcare and financial sectors. Prior to joining McKinsey, Crockett was a corporate lawyer with Latham & Watkins.

Crockett earned his J.D. from Stanford and his undergraduate degree in economics from Brigham Young University.
