| Sumario: | Personal digital assistants (PDAs) are helping to save lives as doctors are using them increasingly to retrieve medical information on the spot regarding how to treat an illness or disease and administer the right medication, dosing, precautions, and drug interactions. Firms such as U.S.-based Skyscape are putting medical information into a PDA-friendly format. With its software to cross-reference material from different medical texts, Skyscape has converted over 264 texts for PDA use; doctors in Asia, where 30,000 of Skyscape's 170,000 customers live, are pleased with the technology.
