DAVIS'S DRUG GUIDE PDA WINS 2005 HANDANGO CHAMPION AWARD
Charlottesville, VA Davis's Drug Guide with Auto-Updates won Best Industry Application 2005 at the annual Handango Champion Awards ceremony in Miami, Florida on June 23, 2005.
Davis's Drug Guide with Auto-Updates, an application for Palm OS software, is developed in partnership with Unbound Medicine, the leading provider of mobile downloads. The drug guide is updated automatically when the handheld is synchronized so that the latest FDA approvals appear as they publish. Healthcare providers can quickly track down need-to-know information using intuitive drop down menus and cross-linking.
"We are proud to have our content and the Unbound platform honored by this award," said Rob Craven, CEO of F.A. Davis. "Through our partnership with Unbound Medicine, we know that mobile health professionals are receiving updated, need-to-know information on thousands of brand-name and generic drugs where they need it most at the point of care."
"We are delighted to receive the Handango award recognizing the quality and utility of our products," said Bill Detmer, president and CEO of Unbound Medicine. "It validates our customer-focused mission to provide knowledge where it's needed."
The Handango Champion Awards recognize outstanding mobile software developers and applications. Nominated by customers, winners are selected by an elite panel of industry experts and members of the media. The awards ceremony, sponsored by Microsoft, the Microsoft Tablet PC, Nokia and Sony Ericsson, is a highlight of Handango's partner summit for independent software vendors and leaders in the mobile market.
