Mobile medical references provider Skyscape, US, has launched a mobile clinical decision application on the Google Android operating system. Skyscape’s medical resources are now available on most smart phone devices, allowing medical professionals to easily download the latest medical information.
The technology produced by Skyscape gives medical practitioners access to up-to-date clinical information on their mobile devices, allowing them to spend more time treating patients and less time rummaging through volumes of research. The application also allows them to treat patients in a variety of settings and locations, without being tied to a computer. With the Android operating system, all of the medical information needed to quickly and accurately diagnose and treat a patient is available on the same mobile device.
With the expansion of the Skyscape system onto the Android operating system, Skyscape claims to have become the first mobile clinical decision support provider to offer its application on all major mobile carriers. In addition to their current iPhone enabled application, the Skyscape programme will now be available on a number of Android OS enabled phones, including the HTC Touch, the Zii Trinity, Samsung Behold, G2, G3, G4, MyTouch, and DROID.
Widespread access to up-to-the-minute medical information is transforming the way physicians are able to treat patients around the globe. Wireless handheld devices such as Blackberry, iPhone and PDA are being projected as an ideal platform for mobile learning and reference, particularly in medical education and practice. Earlier last month, US-based healthcare knowledge management solutions provider Unbound Medicine announced the launch of Evidence Central, an integrated evidence-based solution, with content from its partner, Wiley-Blackwell, the STM and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Evidence Central supports effective medical practice through delivery of the latest research and guidelines to mobile devices and the web.
