LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/06/12

Bob Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) ("MMR"), today stated that AARP's launch of a Personal Health Record (PHR) is the most important measure of credibility to date for the PHR industry. MMR is a leading provider of patented Personal Health Record technologies through its secure Internet portals and believes it will benefit from this announcement as a result of increased consumer awareness of PHRs and licensing services to other health information technology companies. MMRGlobal also provides healthcare professionals an integrated patient portal through its MMRPro electronic document management and imaging system. The Company believes that the AARP Health Record(SM) will open the door to wider adoption of PHRs by the general public and usage in patient care by healthcare providers.

Jointly announced yesterday by AARP and Microsoft Corp., AARP Health Record connects with Microsoft® HealthVault® to help people better manage their health. MMR already has an agreement in place with Microsoft® HealthVault® to integrate its services with their platform as a HealthVault® Solution Provider. The Company believes that the announcement adds credibility to industry projections on the growth of PHRs and that ultimately this growth could accelerate industry consolidation.
