Skyscape Continues to Expand Wireless Offering with Addition of Windows Smartphone to Skyscape Stat Portfolio
Most Trusted Medical Info Now Available On All Mobile Devices
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., September 14, 2006 – Skyscape®, the worldwide leading service for trusted medical information by specialty for mobile devices, today announced that its medical information service now operates on the Windows Mobile Smartphone platform – the newest addition to the Skyscape STAT umbrella of offerings – including the newly introduced Motorola Q, Cingular 2125, T-Mobile SDA, Motorola i930 from Sprint and SPV C600 from Orange.
To healthcare practitioners around the globe, the universal term “STAT” means immediately – and that’s exactly what Skyscape STAT offerings provide to its 575,000 user base – the immediate ability to span across technologies, products, features and services to get the information they need, via whatever platform they desire. The addition of Windows Mobile Smartphone to the Skyscape portfolio is the latest addition to STAT.
“At Skyscape we recognize the growing trend of mobility in medicine, and are focused on deploying innovative solutions in all wireless mediums,” states Sandeep Shah, President and CEO of Skyscape. “With the increased penetration of Windows Mobile Smartphone and our highly specialized user base, we are well positioned to offer our customers a richer user experience and the freedom of choice – while delivering the most current and relevant medical information available.”
The extension of Skyscape’s product line into the Windows Mobile powered Smartphone arena means users now have access to Skyscape’s SmARTlink™ technology. This proprietary technology gives users access to all of Skyscape’s fully integrated 300+ medical resources – including updates to some 30+ unique medical specialties – thus making it easier than ever for them to access email, the internet, and breaking medical news.
Shah believes the Skyscape portfolio “helps healthcare practitioners provide better care at lower costs, while saving time and minimizing errors and legal challenges.” Whether delivering information needed on-demand in order to make a life or death decision, or delivering a new finding that has been announced by the FDA, this broad spectrum of tools feature a unique combination of tailored, up-to-the-minute messaging and over-the-air wireless support for updated specialty information as it happens, enabling healthcare professionals to provide better service at point of care.
Enabling Skyscape’s trusted service on the Windows SmartPhone platform makes it even more attractive to avid users such as David Rosenberg, MD, FAAP, who has already come to rely upon Skyscape’s up-to-the-minute information delivery via MedAlert, “I like getting breaking news as it happens 24/7. It’s like my personal news channel…plus I can get more information when I need it.”
