TO SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Stephen D. Barnhill, M.D., certify that:

1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB of Health Discovery
Corporation formerly Direct Wireless Communications Inc.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows of the small business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in
this report;

4. The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I are responsible
for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) and internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13(a)-15(f) and
15(d)-15(f) for the small business issuer and have:

         (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
         supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
         business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
         to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period
         in which this report is being prepared;

         (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
         such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our
         supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
         of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
         external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles;

         (c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's
         disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our
         conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
         procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on
         such evaluation; and

         (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer's
         internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
         small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter that has materially
         affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small
         business issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5. The small business issuer's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit committee of
the small business issuer's board of directors (or persons performing the
equivalent functions):

         (a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
         or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
         reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's
         ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
         and

         (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
         other employees who have a significant role in the small business
         issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
