Skyscape’s Medical Resources iPhone Application Exceeds 100,000 Healthcare Professionals

Skyscape, the worldwide leading service for trusted medical information for mobile devices, has announced that its iPhone App has witnessed a significantly accelerated rate of user acquisition, driving the Skyscape user network to over 925,000 healthcare professionals.

Skyscape has a registered user base of over 900,000 medical practitioners. Its more than 500 trusted resources cover 35 medical specialties. All are integrated via Skyscape’s easy-to-use SmartLink technology and are available on Palm OS, Windows Mobile and Windows powered desktop, BlackBerry, iPhone, Nokia Symbian and Tablet PCs.

“We witnessed a high level of demand for the iPhone software, since the launch of our first generation iPhone software released a year ago,” said Sandeep Shah, Skyscape’s president and CEO. “After the recent launch of our next generation app running natively on the iPhone, the user adoption has reached a record level, with over 100,000 healthcare professionals installing our software. This reflects an enormous demand for a new generation of medical information resources and decision support tools that go well beyond just the basic drug information.”

Skyscape is a privately held company headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts and is the worldwide leading service for trusted medical information by specialty for mobile devices. Skyscape’s service enables healthcare practitioners to tailor their experience from the most trusted medical information available and delivers it in an intuitive manner that supports natural thought flow for diagnosis and treatment.

The latest release of the iPhone software by Skyscape includes a vast portfolio providing instant access to drug information, drug interactions, clinical and evidence-based information, guidelines, along with its popular MedAlert service which provides medical news, research and clinical trials updates, and journal summaries by specialty.

“During the last quarter of 2008, the rate of user adoption has doubled, as compared to any of the corresponding quarter during prior years,” added Sandeep Shah. “There were days when there were more than 8,000 downloads of the Skyscape iPhone application.”

This excitement shows in the response from Andrew Schuman, M.D., a practicing pediatrician, Contributing Editor of Contemporary Pediatrics, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, NH. “Skyscape has set a new standard for intuitive and user friendly medical software for the iPhone,” according to Dr Schuman. “My needs for the clinical information are met with Skyscape’s specialty specific portfolio that goes well beyond the drug information offered by others. I can truly rely on Skyscape’s trusted decision support resources at the point of care.”

Skyscape offers the most comprehensive clinical suite for the iPhone available at no charge from Apple’s iTunes AppStore. Hundreds of additional resources can be purchased at Skyscape’s website (www.skyscape.com) or directly on the iPhone, from within the Skyscape application.
