Skyscape Launches Ground-Breaking MedAlert Medical Text Messaging Service for Cell Phones
For a small monthly fee and by texting the keyword "medalert" to 36637, medical professionals can subscribe to MedAlert and receive up-to-the-minute medical news alerts via their cell phone. Users can customize their alerts by Specialty Interest Groups, and breaking medical news is communicated as it occurs, with a clear and concise text message. Since MedAlert has full email integration, the subscriber can instantly have complete medical articles sent to an email address simply by replying to the text message.
"Cell phones are quickly transcending communication from its traditional voice-centric modality to a far more powerful, yet silent modality -- text messaging," states Sandeep Shah, President and CEO of Skyscape. "While the young subscribers love to trade short notes and updates, until recently there has been little broad-based adoption by the professional community. With Skyscape's MedAlert, medical professionals are poised to utilize the benefits of this easy-to-use, efficient service to receive tailored information right on their cell. With virtually every healthcare professional owning a cell phone, this offers a quick way to receive relevant medical content vital to their medical specialty."
