Improvement: Android Device Users Will Hear Audible Notification of Incoming Calls and Messages

When a patient receives a video or voice call from their care team or caregiver, the patient will hear an audible notification of the incoming call or message.

- For voice or video calls, the patient will hear a “ringing” notification.

- For a text message, the patient will hear a “beeping” tone.
To hear the notification, a patient must have their device’s volume turned on.

Improvement: PDF Documents Will Open Right in PatientConnect Mobile

When a patient taps on an assigned PDF document, PatientConnect Mobile will automatically open their PDF right within the app. Patients will still be able to scroll up and down, zoom in, and zoom out just like before.

Improvement: Caregivers Organized Alphabetically by First Name

No matter the order that two or more caregivers are added for a patient, the caregivers will now appear in alphabetical order by first name.

Bug Fixes

On-screen text becomes a bit easier to read with some minor UI polishing.
