LOS ANGELES, and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Sunnylife Global, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SNYL.PK) a publicly traded
company based in Los Angeles, Calif. and Energid Technologies
Corporation, a privately held company based in Cambridge, Mass.,
have signed a letter of intent for Sunnylife to purchase up to ten
Virtual Reality (VR) Surgical Training Systems from Energid
Technologies as part of its healthcare modernization program in
China. Energid's Virtual Reality training system currently in
development teaches surgeons and other healthcare professionals by
allowing them to practice procedures on simulated virtual patients.
It provides a natural interface to trainees using a high fidelity
virtual human patient model and patent pending visual surgical tool
tracking and maglev haptic feedback. The surgical simulator can
model surgical errors and complications during the training process
and will support training, planning, and rehearsal. "Energid is
pleased with the agreement and excited about introducing our
innovative medical training technology to the greater China
market," said Dr. John Hu, Director of Medical Robotics and Systems
at Energid. "Our technology will improve the quality of medical
education in Asia and open new global business markets." Sunnylife
Global, in its quest to modernize Chinese hospitals, has recognized
the value of this technology and plans to introduce it through
their hospital network. "Sunnylife's agreement to purchase this
state-of-the-art training software from Energid is consistent with
its commitment to the local governments of China to upgrade their
Level 2 hospitals to meet International standards," said Richard
Lo, President of Sunnylife. "We are pleased to have identified
Energid and their unique engineering capability to provide
solutions to accomplishing our goals." About Energid Technologies
