Over 3,500 Clinician-Beta Testers help launch PatientKeeper Personal 3.0
Boston, Mass. July 9, 2002 - PatientKeeper, Inc., a leader in mobilizing medical information, today announced the release of PatientKeeper Personal 3.0. PatientKeeper Personal makes it easy for physicians to capture and organize critical patient data including general history and physical information, medication information, lab and diagnostic test results, notes and task lists, all on a mobile device. Over 45,000 caregivers have thus far registered to use PatientKeeper Personal software, making it the world's most widely used mobile patient management tool.
PatientKeeper Personal 3.0 was beta-tested by over 3,500 clinicians and represents a significant upgrade to PatientKeeper Personal 2.33.

Information like patient context, disease and drug reference information can be shared between applications.
As leading hospitals, premier HIS vendors, and other partners embrace PatientKeeper's Enterprise technology nationwide, PatientKeeper Personal 3.0 provides a simple mechanism for individual clinicians and medical students to begin the practice of mobile healthcare computing. PatientKeeper Personal 3.0 can be downloaded at www.patientkeeper.com at no charge to individual users.
"The robust community of PatientKeeper Personal users has provided us with a wealth of clinical insight and feedback regarding the many applications of mobile computing in healthcare," commented Stephen S. Hau, founder and vice president of platform for PatientKeeper. "These visionaries have helped fuel the ongoing innovation of our software."
