To avoid sleep disruptions the following changes have been made:
Other improvements to the updating process:
A new app has been developed for the factory to track tests & shipments of newly produced Genus devices. This should improve test coverage for the next orders.
System test: After performing a system test in the factory, the Genus will automatically shut down to prevent battery drain in shipment.
Genus is now integrated with the Mantelzorger App. When a connection is made between a Mantelzorger App account and a Genus, the Genus will receive all medicine reminders configured in the Mantelzorger App.
To connect with the Mantelzorger App, on the Genus go to "Menu > Connect > Apps > Mantelzorger App".
The night screen has been redesigned and will now automatically be enabled on specific times or based on the light level in the room.
The night screen can be configured on Genus level and community-wide level.
The default values for the Night screen are
The priority of the configuration is as following (starting with the highest priority):
The trend analysis settings have been redesigned in the community portal. In the user detail you’ll now see a clear overview of the settings. Clicking the pen icon will open a popup allowing you to edit the settings.
The integration settings have also been redesigned to keep the portal consistent.
The Deployer app now contains the ability to transfer a Genus. Transferring is the process where a Genus has been returned from one client and needs to be deployed at another client. The transfer will reset the Genus to factory settings and then deploy the Genus automatically for the new client.
Scanning the Genus devices will give direct feedback on communities they’re currently in.
The Deployer app got some improvements to enhance the experience for people using the app.
The app has been slightly redesigned for a more consistent and clean look. The dashboard includes the 3 main actions of the Deployer app plus the logout button.
Scanning the QR codes on the back of the Genus will now give direct feedback if the serial number is correct or not. It’ll do this visually as seen in the screenshot as well as using sounds and vibrations.
To prevent issues deployments and transfers can’t be done as long as the community doesn’t have a configuration yet. The configuration can be created in the business portal.
A digital clock is now available on the Genus. This can also be set through the Deployer App. It’ll automatically pick AM / PM based on the language set.
PS: Click on the title of this release note to download images that can be used for marketing in the languages English and Dutch.
The platform now supports text-to-speech for messages that are sent to the Genus. In the community portal you’ll see a check for “Speech message on Genus”. Enabling this will speak the message on the Genus automatically.
On the Genus the user can tap the speaker icon to repeat the message if he/she missed the message.
The text to speech functionality automatically recognises the language of the given text and can pronounce the text in the following languages: Bulgarian, Classic Arabic, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian & Vietnamese., Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Turkish, Ukrainian,Chinese
The camera of the GC320 is now correctly mirrored in the video web-client so text in the video (e.g. a medicine box) is correctly readable.
The web-call is now themed to the Genus brand guidelines.
The call timer will now only start when the Genus has joined the call. Previously the timer would start immediately falsely indicating that the call already started.
It’s now easier to switch between speakers, microphones and cameras. A button will appear when more than one device is detected to easily switch.
External parties that have an integration with the Genus Platform to start video calls by API can now start a video call by serial number instead of the communityFrameLinkId. This should make administration and setup on the 3rd party side easier. A link to their community is still needed for security purposes. This link will automatically be created by the Deployer App.
Previously when calling a Genus that’s offline, the call would ring endlessly. Now an error message will be shown on our web-call saying the Genus is offline.
Extended logging has been added to calling from the Genus and web-client to provide better support / locate issues more easily
When a 3rd party requests a video call with a Genus, a log entry will be made with the full request including information about the requester like the IP-address.
The portal has been completely redesigned to better separate data. The data structure is as follows:
The distributors are the top-level distributors of each country. A distributor can have multiple resellers. Typically they’ll have their own reseller for direct sales to customers. If a distributor lets another company also sell Genus to customers a reseller can be created for this company.
Resellers sell Genus devices to customers. Below a reseller a customer can be created
Resellers have one or more contracts they have with Genus Care. This contract describes the costs for subscriptions, grace periods and other payment related info. A subscription is always linked to a contract.
Customers are organisations or individuals that purchase a Genus. A customer can have multiple subscriptions and communities.
A subscription contains the license that can be used to activate a Genus.
Statuses:
A subscription can be linked to a community, but as of this update it can only be linked to a community of the same customer. This prevents privacy issues where in the past Genus devices could accidentally be linked to a community of a wrong customer.
Besides the status a subscription has, you can now also mark a subscription as “Demo”. This can be used for samples that are sent as an example to care organisations for sales purposes. Subscriptions with the “Demo” tag won’t be invoiced.
Statuses can be easily adjusted by going to a subscription detail using the buttons on the top-right corner.
You (and customers) can now pause the subscription of a Genus. Pausing a subscription means the Genus currently isn’t in use and doesn’t have to be paid for. This could be the case for a care organisation that has a few spare Genus devices that are turned off. When a Genus device powers on and does a license check, the subscription will automatically be resumed.
When a subscription is paused a “Resume” button will appear with which you can resume the subscription.
By pressing “Release”, the Genus will be unlinked from the subscription after which the subscription can be used by another Genus device.
By pressing “Deactivate”, the subscription will be disabled after which it can’t be used anymore on a Genus. The Genus will show a message “License expired” asking for a new license code. This can be useful when a customer doesn't pay an invoice or stops their subscription.
When a subscription is deactivated a “Reactivate” button will appear with which you can activate the subscription again.
It’s now possible to bulk configure Genus devices by using the new Deployer App. This is for the use case where a group of Genus devices needs to be set up for a care organisation. In the community of the organisation you can set a configuration for all devices in the community. This configuration will be used after scanning the Genus device or box with the Deployer app.
