What's new
Everything that shipped in Kubo, once a month — new features, quality-of-life changes, and fixes, written in plain language for the people who use it every day.
2026 8 updates
August generated referral letters from the visit context with a recommended template, let you pick email, fax, or mail per recipient, rolled a new audio engine out to every account, taught Kubo to infer the visit type on its own, and added a privacy mode for shared screens.
July brought full calling and patient messaging to the desktop and tablet apps, version history for note templates, dictation into any application on your computer, and moved Sensei connections to the Carestream API for more reliable sync.
June shipped a complete inventory system with valuation, recall, dead stock, and failed implant reports; implant scanning straight into the chart; a Shares Outbox that catches failed letter deliveries and resends them; and a microphone check before you record.
May added custom block templates with your own fields, Quick Notes for documentation that doesn't need a full visit, manual call logging that exports and syncs, and letters that log themselves as activity notes in your PMS when sent.
April launched Kubo Dialer — calls placed and received inside Kubo, with a shared queue and AI-drafted notes on every call — and a note template editor where you describe the change you want and Magic Edit makes it.
March added a Reviewed step to referral letters, postal mail alongside email and fax, a delivery preference on every referring doctor, a one-click "Catch me up" summary of the visit so far, and analytics across every practice in a DSO.
February opened Kubo to hygiene workflows in beta, prefilled diagnoses at the start of a treatment visit, began recommending consent forms from the visit context, and made procedure forms smart enough to fill in what a full bony impaction implies.
January let you photograph or upload a patient's medical documents and have AI fill the medical review and vitals, added Single Sign-On for DSOs, and gave every PMS connection a health page.
2025 11 updates
December redesigned the visit page — letters in tabs, download and print inline — and folded all data entry and audio capture into one continuous Note Data view, from anesthesia to discharge.
November added two-factor authentication to Kubo accounts, a schedule that follows the day as it moves, and tap-to-call a patient from the appointment card or their demographics.
October introduced the Implant Readiness Report — a structured final check before restoration — and a setting that imports relevant attachments into clinical letters automatically.
September gave referring doctors the full visit history in the referral portal — from the first consult through final treatment — and made a second letter for the same visit one click from the appointment card.
August tuned the audio pipeline for clinical terminology and fast speech, added French transcription for bilingual teams, and let the mobile app keep recording while it is in the background.
July was housekeeping. Merge duplicate referring doctors, give non-admin users scoped access to Settings, and print any letter, clinical note, form, or implant report as a PDF.
June shipped a Patient Implants Report you can view, print, and download, a dot-triggered snippet menu in every text field, a keyboard shortcut for dictation, DSN Cloud support, and letters that do not need a visit.
May added screen captures and uploaded audio as inputs, key terms to sharpen transcription, and a Customize AI section in Settings. Note blocks became Templates, and implant procedures learned robotic navigation.
April brought speech-to-text into letters and every notes field, referral letters sent from your practice's own email domain, and more than one letter per visit — plus letters that are not tied to a visit at all.
March took the friction out of editing. Clinical notes and referral letters are edited inline and saved as you go, and the recording bar floats over the interface instead of taking space from your forms.
February let a consult turn into a same-day procedure without a second visit note, and put the status of the note and the letter on every appointment card — with a red alert when a referral is waiting on a letter.
Twenty minutes with a surgeon on the team, documenting a case end to end — consult note to referral letter, written back to your PMS.
