Mobile Medical Solutions Leader Welcomes New Subscribers with Two Leading Drug Reference Tools Free of Charge

HUDSON, Mass. - September 5, 2002 - Skyscape, Inc., the leading provider of interactive, intelligent mobile solutions for the healthcare community, today announced an expanded partnership with Facts and Comparisons, the premier publisher of drug information. This alliance migrates all of Facts and Comparisons' ePhysician mobile users to Skyscape-powered software, and includes free A2zDrugs™ and iFacts™ products for the remainder of customers' subscription period.

Skyscape A2zDrugs is the handheld version of A to Z Drug Facts published by Facts and Comparisons, an easy-to-use drug guide with the latest FDA approvals, indications, dosages, side effects and patient care considerations. Skyscape iFacts is the handheld version of Drug Interaction Facts also published by Facts and Comparisons, a best selling drug interaction analyzer covering thousands of brand and generic drugs. iFacts enables the practitioner to refer to accurate and reliable information regarding drug interactions at the point of care.

"Being able to access accurate, up-to-date information when and where they need it is crucial for our Facts and Comparisons subscribers. It's a necessity, not an option, and Skyscape has proven itself to be the best partner for providing the functionality our users need," states Robert Brown, Director of Sales and Marketing, Facts and Comparisons. "Not only will our existing subscribers be receiving the two complimentary products for the remainder of their subscription, but they will be able to experience Skyscape's unique ability to link directly between the drug they are researching in A2zDrugs and the related drug interaction information in iFacts."

Helping Doctors Help Patients - More About Skyscape A2zDrugs and iFacts

A2zDrugs powered by Skyscape enables the practitioner to refer to accurate information about pharmacological issues at the point of care and contains information on over 700 generic and 2,800 trade name drugs. Skyscape iFacts indexes drug names by group, significance and by generic and trade name. The information is organized so that you can get high level, at-a-glance information quickly or can click to get more detail if you need it. Additionally, both A2zDrugs and iFacts can easily cross-index with each other as well as other drug information databases and clinical information solutions from Skyscape--such as (5MCC(TM)) Griffith's 5 Minute Clinical Consult published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins--to provide a powerful and integrated source of point of care decision making tools. Medical professionals who install the products on their handhelds will be able to toggle back and forth between the databases to obtain accurate drug, drug interaction or clinical information as quickly as they think.

"Research has shown that the ability to capture and retrieve information at the point of care can cut the time it takes for delivering care in half and can significantly reduce prescription errors, which number in the tens of thousands every year," said RJ Mathew, vice president marketing and business development for Skyscape. "Combine the immediacy of researching drugs on a PDA with the Skyscape-powered trusted information from Facts and Comparisons, and medical professions have a valuable resource to use everyday, no matter where they are."

Skyscape A2zDrugs and iFacts are available individually and as part of pre-packaged product bundles by visiting www.skyscape.com. Existing Facts and Comparisons' customers on the ePhysician platform can migrate to Skyscape A2zDrugs and iFacts free of charge for the remaining period of their subscription. Both products are available on all leading handheld devices including Palm OS®, Pocket PC, and the Windows CE® platform.
