como 6.36.1 - Picture-in-picture and screen sharing in video calls
Version
6.36.1
Project
In-Home Device

This release provides one of our most requested new features — allowing the resident to minimize the video screen and use the touchscreen without hanging up the call. This feature allows staff to provide even better support for their residents by being able to walk residents through using their touchscreen. . On the staff side of the call, the support agent can see what the resident is seeing as they use the touchscreen.

The screen share / picture-in-picture mode can be activated on either end of the call by pressing the minimize button. Screen sharing can be initiated by the resident for any staff device, including On-call client and the iOS and Android mobile apps. On the staff side, initiating picture-in-picture is currently available when using the care portal website but will be implemented in all the other platforms as updates roll out.

This release also improves the messaging of when a person they are trying to call is already in another call:

Finally, we provided fixes for a number of issues, especially regarding discovering IP cameras on misbehaving or strange setup networks.

GCManage 2.26.1 - Do Not Disturb option in call waiting
Version
2.26.1
Project
GCManage Server

We made some tweaks to the incoming call while on a call functionality based on user feedback. For starters, there will not be a call tone when another call comes in — the dialog will simply display silently. We also added a Do Not Disturb button that will mute any additional incoming calls during the duration of the current call. That way staff can speak to their current resident without interruption from other frequent callers.

In addition to this fix, we also improved the call reliability and fixed a few minor issues.

Added

Added do not disturb option for incoming calls when already in call

Changed

Removed incoming call tone when receiving a call when already in call

Version
2.26.0
Project
GCManage Server

This major release provides our new modernized reporting features. These include:

  • Reports rendered offline – no more timeout failures waiting for a report to render

  • Report history is saved with your user allowing you to download reports later. Your report history will be saved for 30 days

  • PDF reports have a more modern and cleaner layout with improved report data, including graphs and summaries

  • CSV reports can be run across multiple accounts

While the new features will cover everything you may want, we understand that workflows need to be maintained and often can’t change immediately. To accommodate this, we have kept all of the original reporting features available under the Legacy Reports buttons that can be found on the reporting and data pages.

Finally, this release marks the first step in our video call update series. The first upgrade is the ability for staff to see an incoming call while on another call. If accepted, the call will switch to the new caller seamlessly.

Added support for multiple accounts in CSV reports

como 6.34.0 - Touchscreen Interface Update/Refresh
Version
6.34.0
Project
In-Home Device

This release provides our new refreshed touchscreen interface. We have worked to simplify the interface by removing the distracting ticker on the bottom and reducing the number of sidebar buttons. We also improved contrast in our screen elements and provided a consistent user experience (for example, all buttons a user can press now have a white border). Overall the touchscreen experience should be significantly more modern and streamlined for your residents.

That said, we realize that many residents may have grown accustomed to the classic interface and may not want to change. We will continue to support the classic interface for these folks. At any time you can change from one interface to another using the Setup Wizard’s new skin selection:

Give it a try! We will continue adding new skins for the touchscreen interface to support different use cases.

GCManage 2.25.1 - Camera access logging
Version
2.25.1
Project
GCManage Server

As cameras become more integrated in the GrandCare solution, many service providers have requested auditing tools to ensure their residents’ privacy is being respected. Now, any time a live camera feed or a saved video clip is accessed by a user, an entry is added to both the log for the user and the account. This can then be reviewed and audited as needed by the service providers. Camera access has also been removed for lower level communicators.

This release also resolved a number issues, including video calls to mobile and missing System Up emails under certain circumstances.

The zoom link can be added to both individual and community events, allowing for both on-on-one meetings and full community webinars. When the reminder pops up on the resident’s touchscreen, there is a “Start Meeting” button on the reminder:

In-Home Device v6.26.0
Version
6.26.0
Project
In-Home Device

This major release provides a number of new requested features. One of these is the Zones of Regulation assessment question (as seen in the image above). This allows for quick and comprehensive communication of a resident’s mood or emotional state.

We have also added assessment specific rules under the Wellness Rules. This allows for actions to occur when an assessment is taken/not taken and if the score of the response is above or below a threshold. The actions of the rule are the standard GrandCare array of option: text message, email, phone call, managed alert notification, etc.

Many of our customers have told us of multiple alerts being generated in a short period of time from multiple On-Screen Button presses. We implemented a “cooldown” period for rules, allowing for a button rule to only execute once in a time period. This should prevent this issue moving forward.

Finally, a number of issues were resolved regarding Wifi, including the inability to connect to open / no password Wifi networks. We also fixed the issue with the slideshow advancing unexpectedly.

This release provides two new features: a door open rule “cool-down” and simplified medication creation.

The door open rule cool-down allows caregivers to prevent multiple alerts from going out for what is generally the same event. This reduces workload for caregivers by allowing them to only respond to the initial alert, not any subsequent events for a time period.

The simplified medication creation allows a caregiver to quickly add a morning, midday, or evening medication schedule. This removes all the complications of defining NDC and all the individual medication fields and creates the defined schedule, all by pressing a single button.

Finally, a number off issues were resolved in this release related to assessments.
