Combined Resource Dedicated to Empowering Healthcare Professionals with Mobile and Wireless Technologies.

BOTHELL, WA (December 10, 1999)-PDAMD.com today announced the debut of the most comprehensive Internet destination dedicated to mobile computing and wireless technologies in health care.

The new site, at www.pdamd.com, is a collection of industry-specific resources designed to educate and empower healthcare professionals with the advanced technologies that will enable them to reduce treatment costs and improve patient care.

The announcement was made by PDAMD.com President and CEO Chad Roberts. "We are proud to make this tremendous resource available to the millions of medical professionals, not only in this country, but around the world," Roberts said. "Mobile and wireless technologies are poised to change the face of health care and PDAMD.com provides an essential medium to promote this transformation."

Based in Bothell, Wash., PDAMD.com provides the information and recommendations today’s health care professionals need to capitalize on the explosive growth of mobile technology. By working with users of personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other portable computers to maximize the functionality and performance of their devices, PDAMD.com helps streamline the treatment process.

"Simply saving a trip to the library or a call to the office can make a tremendous difference in the workload of busy professionals," Roberts said. "This in turn reduces costs and improves patient care."

The Web site itself provides a comprehensive collection of in-depth resources such as access to news, product reviews, online tutorials and recommendations. All of these features will help users incorporate mobile computing and wireless technologies into the professional environment. Visitors also have the option to purchase the latest software, hardware and accessories through partnerships with leading online retailers.

In designing the site, Roberts said that PDAMD.com focused on two simple goals - simplicity and selection. "We set out to provide a complete resource, with tools and information for all users, regardless of experience, while at the same time retaining a simple and intuitive interface. And, if the feedback we have received to date is any indication, we hit the bulls-eye on both points." At the heart of PDAMD.com is a network of experienced medical advisors and contributing authors that provide informative, timely content from a health care provider’s perspective. This unbiased viewpoint allows users to benefit from the first-hand experience of their peers and to understand how other professionals are utilizing mobile and wireless technologies in their careers and practices. According to Roberts, the increasing awareness of these technologies in the medical community will drive tremendous growth. "There is no other industry in the world that can benefit more from the powerful information portability that PDAs provide than medicine," he says. "The opportunity to change the face of health care is simply staggering."<.font>
