Medikly Goes Global with Healthcare Focused Social Media Platform
Signs Exclusive 5-Year Agreement with Leading Medical Publisher to
Provide Physicians Instant Access to Medical Information and Educational
Content
JERSEY CITY, N.J. & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Across Europe and Asia, access to medical knowledge is highly fragmented
on many levels ? from geography and language, to clinical approach and
capabilities, to communication and delivery. With ever increasing
amounts of data being available, there is an increased need to provide
physicians with relevant and trusted content in real time, where and
when they need it.
?We are thrilled with our partnership with SLM?
To address these unmet needs and barriers, Medikly, LLC (Medikly) (www.medikly.com),
a leading provider of social media and learning tools for the healthcare
space announced today its exclusive 5-year strategic alliance and
distribution partnership with San Lucas Medical, Ltd (SLM) (www.sanlucasmedical.com),
the London-based print and online medical publisher of 15 medical
journals throughout Europe and Asia. This agreement grants SLM the
exclusive rights in Europe and Asia to utilize Medikly?s content
delivery and community-based platform through their new venture, MDSNe,
which will serve to facilitate online collaboration and learning among
physicians.
MDSNe, powered by the Medikly platform, will provide verified physician
users with tools to access the ?community mind?, share and exchange
knowledge with their peers, collaboratively learn through conversations
and access just-in-time education. In addition, the platform will be
used by MDSNe to design and develop medical education programs, reducing
overall development time and costs by as much as 75% when compared with
traditional educational formats and methods.
With its existing publishing footprint and an audience of over 100,000
subscribers, SLM, via MDSNe, will leverage its new online capabilities
by bringing together like minds and diverse practices, minimizing
impediments of time, cost and distribution, and providing high-quality
medical education to physicians.
Seun Moses Abimbola, Medical Director of SLM and Executive Director of
MDSNe stated, ?Being able to reach and educate our physician audience
quickly while cutting down program development time and cost was an
important consideration for us when selecting the Medikly platform. We
now have a new distribution channel that extends the SLM brand into
untapped markets.?
?We are thrilled with our partnership with SLM,? said Dr. Venkat
Gullapalli, CEO of Jersey City-based Medikly. ?Combining their extensive
medical content and subscriber base with Medikly, physicians now have
access to medical information and content that can drastically improve
the care they provide their patients.?
The partnership was facilitated by InQuill Medical Communications, LLC (www.inquill.com),
an award winning medical writing company based in California.
