Prestigious medical media award recognizes product excellence

Washington, DC, October 2003 - The 2003 FREDDIE Award for Men's Health has been awarded to HealthMark Multimedia's Prostate Cancer: Your Decision Notebook®. The interactive CD-ROM focuses on the difficult treatment decisions faced by prostate cancer patients and was judged based on excellence and creativity. The FREDDIE Awards, also known as the International Health and Medical Media Awards, is the preeminent competition for health and medical audiovisuals.

Prostate Cancer: Your Decision Notebook® is designed to help newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients understand their diagnosis, communicate more effectively with their doctors and participate in the treatment decision-making process. With more than 6 hours of information, this CD-ROM includes expert-reviewed medical content, patient input, extensive graphics and narration, candid patient and partner interviews, interactive tools and personal decision-making aids and more. Its development was funded with a grant from the National Cancer Institute's Small Business Innovation Research Program.

The FREDDIE Awards competition was started in 1974 as the John Muir Medical Film Festival and is now in its 29th year. The competition's goal is to encourage and celebrate medical and health media excellence and includes feature-length films, documentaries, series, shorts, videos, Web sites and CD-ROMs from all over the world. FREDDIE Awards are given in 35 categories, including Prevention, Basic and Clinical Science, Men's Health, Women's Health, Caregiving, Community Health, Fitness and Wellness, Health Education, Infectious Diseases and Oncology.
