Charlottesville, VA, April  16, 2003 — Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), a leading provider of electronic and print materials for medical professionals, and Unbound Medicine, a leader in medical knowledge management, today announced that they would bring LWW content to Unbound Medicine's CogniQ™ platform.

Unbound Medicine will distribute select LWW titles as new channels on the CogniQ platform for both Palm OS and Pocket PC devices. Via Unbound Medicine's integrated handheld-Web platform users will not only be able to view and navigate LWW content on the handheld but also to request more detailed information on any topic.  These requests are routed to the user's Web Library on synchronization and generate links to more in-depth information in MEDLINE and other data sources.

"We are delighted to work with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins to deliver critical, trusted clinical knowledge where and when it is needed," said William Detmer, MD, president and CEO of Unbound Medicine. "LWW's content is specially suited for mobile professionals and our CogniQ platform because it is authored by leading experts and provides practical advice for a wide range of clinical problems in a consistent and easy-to-navigate structure. Unbound Medicine looks forward to expanding the relationship to include more titles and distribution strategies in the coming months."

"This relationship provides LWW with additional opportunities to meet the growing demands of mobile health professionals," said James Ryan, Vice President and Publisher. "Unbound Medicine's unique knowledge management platform is ideal for our content, and will allow us to reach new users and help them manage their professional knowledge not only on the handheld but also on the Web. This agreement shows our continuing commitment to meeting the changing information needs of the medical community."
