    Letters written from the visit

    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.

    Your own blocks, Quick Notes, and letters that post back

    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.

    Reviewed, then delivered the way each doctor prefers

    Hygiene visits, and consents that recommend themselves

    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.

    A new visit workspace

    Two-factor sign-in and one-tap calling

    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.

    Referrers see the whole case

    Better transcription, now in French

    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.

    A cleaner referrer list and finer permissions

    Dictate anywhere, send from your own domain

    Click, type, move on

    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.

    Consult to surgery in one visit

    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.
