IT Support Changes over the past month:

What's New:

1. Enhanced Login Authentication:

For New Users:

New Sign-up flow using basic details and mobile number. Post-signup, we verify the mobile number for successful login. New users will need to use the “Login with mobile number“ to login into the app next time.

Note: The 'Child' role has been removed in this update in the signup flow.

For Existing Users:

If logged in and the app is updated, users will be redirected from the dashboard to verify their mobile number. If logged out, users returning with previous login methods (email/pass, social sign-in) will be prompted to verify their mobile number after their initial login.

Once the mobile numbers of existing users are verified and linked to their accounts, they can use the “Login with mobile number“ feature to log in to the app directly.

2. New Subscription Methods:

In-app Subscription: Available for Apple and Google users at approximately $19.99/year. This ties the user to a default global hospital. 

Hospital Code Subscription: Users can enter a hospital code during signup for a unique subscription. For existing users, verifying the mobile number will automatically create a hospital code subscription tied to their already associated hospital. Both subscriptions last for one year and are subject to cancellation or expiration.

3. Subscription Details in Profile:

Viewable under the 'Profile' section.

4. Journal Section Enhancements for Parents:

• Notes and question fields are now optional while adding/saving journals.

• Child pain is not mandatory for adding/saving a journal.

• Introduction of an expanded list of symptoms.

5.  Tour Hospital Spaces - Slider Photos:

View hospital spaces in a carousel format by clicking on any photo.

6. Admin Portal Upgrades:

• Ability to add videos/images for 'Health Heroes', viewable in-app.

• Option to add photo captions for the 'Tour Hospital Spaces' section.

• Subscription Management: Admins can now view and manage the details of subscribed users.
