POSITION
MedHand International is considered a world class leader as a
provider of medical reference material in electronic form.
Dr Companion is used world wide and is quickly becoming an
industry standard within Sweden and the United Kingdom.
HISTORY
MedHand International was founded in 2001 by a general practitioner
and a mobile development expert to create a mobile medical information
suite. Assisted by a board international medical experts, Dr Companion
was created.
Dr Companion was originally developed for the Palm OS® platform and
products were released in Sweden and the United Kingdom in 2002 and 2004.
Marketing and distribution was done in collaboration with Palm in both
countries.
With the growing presence of other handheld operating systems and the
desire for the use of standard computers - the development of a revolutionary
multi-platform framework began that allowed the production of a product
for many devices using a single development code base.
In late 2006 MedHand International completed the development of its
multi-platform version of Dr Companion. Utilizing a single memory card
the product effortlessly worked on Palm OS® and Windows Mobile
(Pocket PC) handheld computers and could be used on Windows
and Mac OS X based personal computers.
