<em>Company Continues to Expand its Range of Relevant Healthcare Content Used at the Point of Care</em></p>
<p><strong>Marlborough, MA – January 17, 2012 – </strong><a href="http://www.physiciansinteractive.com">Physicians Interactive Holdings</a>, the leading provider of online and mobile clinical resources and solutions for medical professionals, today announced that it’s mobile healthcare solution <a href="http://www.skyscape.com">Skyscape®</a> has registered more than two million healthcare professionals worldwide in its user network, an industry-leading milestone.</p>
<p>This announcement comes as mobile technology and app adoption for medical professionals is accelerating, with 81 percent of US physicians using a Smartphone in their work environment (up from 30 percent in 2001) and a startling 38 percent of physicians using medical apps daily. In addition, two-thirds are planning to implement or expand their use of mobile technologies in 2012 (Source: CompTIA).</p>
<p>&#8220;Our ecosystem of users – doctors, nurses and students – all understand the value of having access to clinical tools and resources on their mobile devices. In an increasingly mobile world, we’ll continue to provide healthcare professionals with on-the-go, accurate information so they can do their jobs more efficiently, providing them with ‘found time’,” said Sanjay Pingle, president of Physicians Interactive. “We see our mobile solution helping to drive mobile health adoption in the coming year and will continue to seek out new and innovative ways to support our user community and empower healthcare providers to do more.”</p>
<p>In 2011, Physicians Interactive received several awards for leadership in interactive Web-based and mobile healthcare programs, including Skyscape recently receiving its <a href="http://www.skyscape.com/company/PressRelease.aspx?id=9471">8th Mobile Star Award</a> since 2005. Sponsored by Mobile Village, the Mobile Star Awards honor the top mobile products, success stories and visionaries in the world. This year, Skyscape received the “Superstar” award for the Enterprise Software: Healthcare Reference category, the highest honor bestowed by Mobile Village.</p>
<p>Additional highlights for Physicians Interactive in 2011 include the following:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Tomorrow Networks Provides First-Ever Platform Aimed at Creating a Revenue Model for mHealth Developers, While Maintaining a Commitment to Quality Content for the Medical Community</em></p>
<p><strong>MARLBOROUGH, MA &#8212; October 11, 2011 &#8211; </strong> Today marks the launch of the first mobile network for healthcare, Tomorrow Networks. Physicians Interactive Holdings, a leading provider of healthcare information and mobile clinical decision tools for medical professionals, and Remedy Systems, a leading mobile application company focused on healthcare, are announcing the creation and availability of their mHealth platform, Tomorrow Networks. The platform lets developers market and distribute their applications to the growing population of medical professionals who are searching for well-built mobile applications as a tool to improve both the quality and efficiency of care. Through the platform, advertisers can also deliver targeted marketing messages.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tomorrow Networks was designed to solve problems we experienced as developers in this industry. Healthcare app developers are no different than other app developers &#8212; we&#8217;re both looking for ways to distribute our applications to an audience that is most likely to download and use them,&#8221; said Matt Wiggins, CEO of Remedy Systems. &#8220;What&#8217;s unique about this platform is the community it reaches, which includes over 275,000 healthcare professionals and growing. Our main goal here is to facilitate the evolution of the mHealth ecosystem by creating a symbiotic environment in which healthcare professionals, developers and marketers coexist in an effort to improve the overall care process through a more standardized approach to mobile engagement.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to recent research, by the end of 2011, 61 percent of physicians will be using an iPhone. Tomorrow Networks allows developers to service this growing mHealth community, while enabling them to partner with advertisers to monetize their efforts and then target particular segments of health professionals. More specifically, Tomorrow Networks enables advertisers to place in-stream content at relevant points in the healthcare decision making process &#8212; including the ability to target ads by audience specialty and location. Moreover, the platform provides immediate insight into how these ads are received by the intended medical audience so that real-time changes can be made in relation to appropriate targeting and placement.</p>
<p>&#8220;Think of it this way &#8212; with Tomorrow Networks, an ad for diabetes treatment can be shown to a physician using a glucose measuring application while treating a diabetes patient. That type of &#8216;needle in a haystack&#8217; targeting is unheard of today in the mHealth space,&#8221; said Sanjay Pingle, president of Physicians Interactive Holdings. &#8220;What we&#8217;re looking to do here is take the guess work out of the mHealth advertising model for developers, advertisers and the healthcare professionals. We&#8217;re committed to ensuring that the advertising content distributed via these apps is truly useful to the end user who is directly serving the patient &#8212; which could realistically be you or me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Developers can apply for an SDK that will grant them access to the distribution and monetization platform built into Tomorrow Networks. As of this release, 54 applications have joined Tomorrow Networks. If you&#8217;re a developer interested in sharing your mHealth app on our platform or for more information about Tomorrow Networks, please visit <a href="http://www.tomorrownetworks.com">www.tomorrownetworks.com</a>.</p>
