Skyscape, a global leader in clinical decision support for mobile devices, announced today that it won highest honors in the eighth annual Mobile Star Awards™. Sponsored by MobileVillage, the program recognizes excellence in a variety of technology-related categories, including enterprise software, mobile applications and wireless network technology.
This year marks the fourth time in the last five years that Skyscape has been honored in the awards. The Skyscape Medical Resource system won in the category of Enterprise Software: Healthcare Reference. Company President and CEO, Sandeep Shah, was named Industry Visionary in the category of Enterprise Software. Both the company and Shah won the distinction of "Superstar", the highest honor bestowed by MobileVillage.
"Physicians, nurses and students increasingly rely on mobile technology in making diagnoses and treatment decisions," explains Shah. "Our technology enables them to find the answers they need, quickly and easily, by delivering the world's most trusted medical resources to any smartphone (PDA). We are very proud to be recognized for the work we are doing to improve the way essential healthcare information is utilized and shared."
With more than one million registered users, Skyscape is one of the most trusted mobile resources for healthcare professionals. The reason for this is simple: access to current clinical information at the point of care has been proven to reduce medical errors and improve patient outcomes. Skyscape offers more than 500 medical resources and is available on most popular mobile platforms including iPhone, Blackberry, Android and Palm. In addition, Skyscape includes tools such as advanced search, medical calculators, MedAlert™ updates, algorithms, formulas and drug information. Thus, clinicians using Skyscape have the most accurate and comprehensive clinical information at their fingertips when and where they need it most—at the point of care.
