OVER 60,000 HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS REGISTER TO USE SKYSCAPE SOFTWARE ON THEIR HANDHELD DEVICES.
Skyscape becomes a "Go-to" site for medical practitioners seeking gold standard medical software.
Hudson, MA (February 28, 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, announced today that the number of registered users of Skyscape products has risen above 60,000 as of February 2002.
"This is a very exciting time for Skyscape," said Sandeep Shah, CEO and founder of Skyscape. Our "Powered by Skyscape" solutions have gained tremendous acceptance amongst the medical community because of the quality of the content provided by our publishing partners, and the intuitive look and feel of our software on the handheld."
Skyscape wrapped up 2001 with excellent results. During the November and December months, Skyscape's portfolio quadrupled, catapulting the company to the lead in their industry. Health Care professionals and students can now choose from over forty titles from the leading industry publishers, including Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Elsevier Science, Facts and Comparisons®, PocketMedicine, and F.A. Davis Company. Content from these publishers is available now for both the Palm OS® and Windows®CE/PocketPC platforms.
Health Care practitioners find Skyscape software an integral part of their daily practice, particularly at point of care. Students find their products helpful while following doctors on the wards, before a lecture, or at home for review. Chris Van Eyck, president of Cornell University's 2002 student body says, "It is next to useless to use some of the software out there that is not cross-referenced as yours is. The COMPAQ iPaq™ makes things easier for us on rotation, but the real implementation of that idea is the software companies, such as your self. It is wonderful to find a product that not only does what it says, but does so in an easy to use, intuitive manner."
Skyscape's library encompasses over forty world renowned medical titles, including Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult, The Washington Manual, A To Z Drug Facts, Drug Interaction Facts, Davis Drug Guide for Nurses, Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, Dorland's Pocket Medical Dictionary, 26th Edition, and many more! These best-selling titles, powered by Skyscape, are now available for a free trial download and purchase on Skyscape's website: www.skyscape.com.
