The Checkup - July 17th, 2026 (v2.321.2)

Duplicate Patients is in the sidebar this week, and the matcher is less likely to pair the wrong Mary or miss a Sam. Telehealth picked up the in-call pieces people actually use on a video visit, and Files can share a link instead of downloading a copy. Aria chat also stopped looking idle the moment you send.

Duplicate Patients is in the sidebar

Every practice accumulates a second chart. Intake spelled the last name differently. Someone created “Bob” next to “Robert.” One history is then split across two records.

Duplicate Patients scans the roster, shows why it thinks two charts are the same person, and lets you merge them. Encounters, documents, telehealth links, and healthcare context move onto the chart you keep, with an audit trail. You can archive a leftover instead of merging it.

Matching is tighter than the first pass. Sammy and Samuel can match again; a nickname-map bug had blocked that. Mary Ann and Mary Beth no longer collapse to a medium-confidence “Mary.” A garbage date of birth no longer knocks a perfect name match down. Failed scans say they failed, with a retry, instead of claiming there are no duplicates.

Telehealth: chat, files, blur, and attestation of consent to record

If your workspace has built-in telehealth, the call itself has more than video now. In-call chat, peer file share, background blur, and a provider photo capture are on the visit. Patients can get a web push when you are ready.

Recording, encounter linking, and photo capture wait on a consent attestation that the server stores. Rejoining a session does not skip that step. If the connection drops to audio-only, a banner says so instead of leaving you to guess why the picture froze.

The patient buttons are larger, and a screen reader can follow chat and file events during the visit.

Files can be shared

Files grew a details panel, empty states, and keyboard shortcuts. You can share a file, restore one from trash, and open a shared link.

Improvements

• Notes and Aria tasks moved to newer models this week. You do not change a setting. Drafts that used those models just use the newer ones.
• Prompt versions in the template editor are append-only now, with restore, so an edit you regret is not gone.
• Aria chat shows a pending state the moment you send, instead of sitting quiet until the first token arrives.

Bug fixes

• Duplicate scan group ids stay stable across rescans, so a merge button cannot read “Merge 0” after the list refreshes.

Availability

Duplicate Patients appears when the workspace flag is on. Built-in telehealth extras only show if your clinic already has telehealth. File sharing is in this week’s build for workspaces that use Files.
