14 DAY TRIAL // FirstWord is one of the mostly appreciated daily digests for drug industry information. Starting two days ago, it also provides pharmaceutical information on the mobile phones.
The portal is mainly addressed to business subscribers of FirstWord. As most of them are BlackBerry users, Christian Bisallion, the president of FirstWord Publishing, decided to make this portal available on this mobile phone platform. It is mainly a facility for those on the go, but who still need to be informed at all times. Pharmaceutical Daily is just one of the basic sources meant to keep business people up to date on medical news. It offers information on medical literature for up to 25 companies and products selected from all the pharmaceutical daily news to bend on the user's interests.
FirstWord Mobile is the name of the new edition which still stands as the single medical mobile publication that allows users to customize its content. According to personal interests and needs, the user will receive news about specific drugs, world markets or certain pharmaceutical companies. For that, FirstWord filters the news offered by more than 2000 medical journals and conferences as to send the user only those which apply to the previously expressed preferences.
After only five years of activity, FirstWord is rapidly growing by 500 subscribers a week, summing more than 100,000 subscribers worldwide. The price of such mobile services is 795$ for FirstWord PLUS services and 1,495$ for the FirstWord Executive PLUS package.
