Skyscape Launches Dr. Onion's Latest Version of The Little Black Book of Primary Care



SKYSCAPE LAUNCHES DR. ONION'S LATEST VERSION OF THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF PRIMARY CARE

A Leading Medical Manual of Over 6,000 Fact Specific References of Frontline Medicine Now Only Available on the Handheld Platform

Hudson, MA (March 25, 2002) - Skyscape, Inc. (www.skyscape.com), the nation's largest and most comprehensive provider of medical reference titles for use on all types of handheld devices recently announced the release of Dr. Onion's updated version of The Little Black Book of Primary Care. It is the latest addition to their library of world-renowned medical titles and is now only available on the handheld platform.

"Skyscape is very pleased to add this reputable book to our growing portfolio of medical references," said R.J. Mathew, Vice-President of Marketing and Business Development at Skyscape. "We are extremely delighted that many of the leading authors and publishers are choosing the Skyscape ART™ platform to create mobile solutions for their gold-standard references."

"Much clinical medicine is learned 'on the hoof,' so portability is essential," says Professor of Community and Family Medicine at Dartmouth Medical School and Director of Maine-Dartmouth Family Practice Residency Program, Daniel K. Onion, MD, MPH, FACP. "I am very, very pleased that Skyscape has been able to convert my fourth edition manuscript to this PDA format under its original title."

Dr. Onion intends this manual to integrate new and old information that is heavily referenced, concise, practical, and clinically relevant. He organizes the clinical information by medical specialty that can be accessed through the table of contents, or by finding the disease or clinical word of interest in the main, prevention, or emergency indexes with just a tap of the stylus.

"Nearly all physicians, as medical students or residents, feel the need to create a 'little black book' system of relevant facts, and medical opinions sometime during their early training to try and encapsulate, master, and/or summarize that infinite and ever-changing sea of medical knowledge," explains Dr. Onion. "This electronic handbook is intended to meet that need."

Skyscape's revolutionary patented ART™ technology greatly enhances the usefulness of printed texts and original content as found on the Internet by structuring the information for quick access on handheld devices and automatically interlinking them, allowing mobile professionals to use these resources wherever and whenever they need them.
