Skyscape offers two primary products: the Skyscape Medical Library and the Buzz secure messenger. The Skyscape Medical Library is a clinical decision-support tool that provides healthcare professionals with access to over 400 trusted medical resources across more than 30 specialties. Originally launched over two decades ago, it integrates various references from leading publishers through its patented SmartLink technology, which allows for cross-referencing between different resources. The library includes drug guides, medical calculators, and clinical consultation information.
The company's second key offering is Buzz, a HIPAA-secure communication platform designed for care team collaboration and patient communication. It integrates texts, dictation, private calls, telehealth video conferencing, and the sharing of audio, images, and reports. A key feature of Buzz is that it does not require patients to download an application to participate in telehealth sessions. The platform is used in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, home health, and physical therapy. Skyscape's business model caters to individual practitioners, groups, and institutions like hospitals and academic programs, with a user base exceeding one million healthcare professionals.
