Metasite helps Schering AG launch the first e-calendar portal for women in the Baltics

VILNIUS, LITHUANIA, October 9, 2003 – Prisimink.lt, the first e-calendar and educational portal for women in the Baltics, has been launched today by Schering AG, a global research-based pharmaceutical company. The portal has been developed in close collaboration with Metasite, a leading Baltic management consulting, marketing communications and technology solutions firm.

The portal enables women to setup individual e-calendars and start receiving SMS and email reminding them to take contraceptives – or notifications on days that are suitable for getting pregnant.

The e-calendar/portal combo with the free mobile messaging service provides couples with much needed assistance in family planning, helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prompts to contact medical professionals when need arises.

The Prisimink.lt e-calendar/portal contributes to the practical implementation of the By choice. Not by chance principle promoted by Schering AG worldwide.
