Scitent, Inc. is a software technology company focused on the acquisition and packaging of premium quality digital medical content and programming via the Internet.
The integrated suite of products and services offered by CardioConcepts brings to the marketplace a new and innovative mechanism for businesses to quickly and easily inform and educate their customers with premium quality digital medical content.
CardioConcepts develops premium medical content and programming for physician training (e.g., CME), pharmaceutical and medical device companies, online healthcare education sites, testing entities, and professional associations and institutions across the world.
CardioConcepts was founded in 1995 by two University of Virginia cardiologists, Drs. Ralph S. Buckley and Lawrence W. Gimple. The founders realized that developing a multimedia educational program is much more complex than most realize. And when dealing with medical content, the complexity increases further still -- medical imagery must be precise, and text and other medical content needs to be scrutinized at the highest levels to ensure medical accuracy -- inaccuracies are not acceptable. Therefore, CardioConcepts recognized the need for a system that could track and manage not only the display of content on the Internet, but all of the production and management steps as well. Out of this need arose IDEA (Patent Pending), CardioConcepts' "Internet-based training Development Engine and Application." IDEA uses a proprietary, sophisticated, flexible, relational database structure to author, edit, peer review, organize, process, track, archive, and display digital medical content on the Internet. An example of the IDEA technology in action may be found at CardioVillage.com.
