HUDSON, Mass. -- Medical Professionals Can Now Access Critical Medical Information on a Single Converged Wireless Device

Skyscape(R), Inc. (www.skyscape.com) and Samsung Telecommunications America (www.samsungusa.com/wireless) today announced a strategic alliance aimed at bringing the best in mobile medicine to a new generation of converged wireless devices by co-marketing Skyscape-powered software on select Samsung phones. The Skyscape Constellation for Samsung Phones, an intuitive, all-in-one healthcare decision support solution, provides comprehensive coverage of critical information about drugs, diseases, interactions, lab information and treatment options.

Customers who purchase the Mobile Medical Solutions for the Samsung Mobile Intelligent Terminal (MITs) devices, the PalmSource OS(R)-based i500 and Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile(TM)-based i700 Pocket PC Phone, will be able to purchase the Skyscape Constellation for Samsung Phones at a significantly discounted price of $179, a savings of $164 from the standard subscription price. An evaluation copy of the Skyscape Constellation for Samsung Phones ships with every purchase of the Mobile Medical Solutions for Samsung Phones.

"Samsung selected Skyscape because they deliver a powerful integrated knowledge base of medical reference information created by medicine's thought leaders," said Peter Skarzynski, senior vice president of Samsung's wireless terminals division, Samsung Telecommunications America. "The software provides tremendous value to medical practitioners choosing the Samsung devices as their platform of choice for both communication and decision support."

Now medical practitioners can carry trusted medical reference information, critical to making informed decisions at the point-of care, on the same device they use to communicate during the course of their busy day. The MITs converge the capabilities of two distinct devices onto one convenient mainstream platform, and provide healthcare professionals the opportunity to transmit and receive vital medical information via global wireless data networks.

"Our work with Samsung and the availability of Skyscape solutions for converged wireless devices represents a major step in our evolving strategy to bring mobile medicine into the mainstream and to the largest number of users," said RJ Mathew, vice president of marketing and business development, Skyscape. "Now with Skyscape's dynamic, wireless update capability, a physician can keep his medical knowledge base dynamically updated while in the office, doing rounds, or traveling out of town."

Wireless Innovation

Skyscape has pioneered the development of handheld solutions since 1993 and today dominates the PDA medical reference market. More than 350,000 physicians, nurses, residents, EMTs, and pharmacists rely on Skyscape-powered titles to make the most informed decisions. Skyscape continues to innovate--introducing dynamic, wireless updates with the Skyscape Constellation for Samsung Phones and enhancing its patented smARTlink(TM) technology for ease-of-use and workflow that mirrors the clinical experience.

With Skyscape's wireless updates, a user can elect to receive wireless updates whenever information is updated (for instance when a publication is updated or a CDC Alert or FDA Drug approval occurs). The wireless update is automatically integrated into all Skyscape references on the Samsung device. This ensures medical professionals always have the most up-to-date information at their fingertips.

With Skyscape's patented smARTlink technology, users can effortlessly navigate through a virtual medical library on their Samsung Mobile Intelligent Terminal--accessing information on the leading diagnostic, drug and laboratory references, as well as dynamic ARTbeat(TM) channels for CDC and FDA MedWatch alerts. Additionally, Skyscape users can select from Skyscape's ever-expanding portfolio of over 250 trusted medical references in 35 specialties to customize the medical library on their smartphone.

Samsung and Skyscape presented these solutions at the Mobile Focus media event during the CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment Show, October 25, 2004, in San Francisco and will showcase them at additional healthcare and wireless conferences and tradeshows in 2005.

"It is great that Skyscape is making its trusted medical references available on a PDA phone," said Dr. Leonard Feld, system chairman of Atlantic Health System and medical director of the Goryeb Children's Hospital in New Jersey. "In busy clinical settings and on the go, ready access to up-to-date medical information is essential. The Skyscape Constellation for Samsung Phones offers a unique user-friendly interface and is a great approach to finding specific information and can help improve both inpatient and outpatient care. With over-the-air updates you can always have the latest information."
