FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Unbound Medicine and Oxford
University Press Announce Partnership with Release of Popular
Medical Handbook
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine Now Available
for PDA, Web and Wireless
Charlottesville, VA, August 6, 2007—Today,
Unbound Medicine, a leader in knowledge management solutions and mobile
information resources for healthcare, and Oxford University Press, the
world’s largest university press dedicated to excellence, tradition, and
innovation, announced their partnership with the release of the new 7th
edition of the
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine on the Unbound™
Platform. Now busy medical students and residents can consult the
handbook at the point of need using a personal digital assistant (PDA)
or the Internet via computer or wireless device.
The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine evolved
from the notes of two young doctors in training who found
that they learned more working with senior physicians in a
clinical setting than they did from classroom lectures. Since
publication of the first edition in 1985, this fact-packed
book has become the world’s most popular medical pocket
reference, selling over a million copies.
“We are excited that new technologies allow us to make
this valuable content more readily available than ever before,”
said Evan Schnittman, Vice President Business Development
at Oxford University Press. “With Unbound’s unique
PDA, Web and wireless formulation, our customers can review
disease information and check treatment options on their choice
of PDA or wireless device such as smartphone, iPhone™,
or BlackBerry™.”
“It is a pleasure to partner with a forward-thinking
publisher like Oxford University Press,” added Bill
Detmer, MD, President and CEO of Unbound Medicine. “Generations
of students and medical trainees have relied on the Oxford
Handbook for a unique combination of evidence-based
patient care guidelines and experience-based clinical
wisdom. Oxford’s
commitment to supporting the doctors of the future is evident
in the way they are developing and maintaining digital
content.”
Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is supported on Palm,
Pocket PC, and all Windows Mobile platforms. Wireless implementation is
certified for iPhone, Palm OS 5 or later with Palm Browser v. 3.0 or higher,
Windows Mobile OS with Internet explorer browser, and BlackBerry with the latest
BlackBerry browser. For more information visit
