After 8 months of hard work, I'm proud to bring this huge update to Somnus to you. One change is that l've moved to a subscription model - something that I thought long & hard over - but don't worry, you don't need to subscribe to access, view & export your existing data - only to add new data to Somnus.
I do hope you feel it's worth the extremely modest yearly price, considering all the time l've spent on this and that I'm really just a one-man-band here. I also have many exciting things planned now that l've overhauled Somnus' underlying structure.
There are so many great changes that have been made possible by adopting newer technologies - some things will feel familiar, others will feel much more intuitive, particularly when it comes to data entry. I can't really list them all here, and more will be outlined on the website which is undergoing updates.
Some changes include:
Eye-Catching Case Cards
Category items now are displayed in the colours you've chosen
Fully updated with interactive items for fast additions & analysis
Long pressing (right click on Mac) on sections of the Card brings up a relevant menu
For example, the timer button now has far more functionality
All new Dashboard & All Data Screens
Tiles for categories allow quick analysis & editing
Detailed theatre utilisation data & charts
Many more charts on the All Data screen to visualise your data
Improved ability to create, edit & modify your Personal List items
Reorder and show/hide tiles, charts & categories as you wish
View different date ranges directly on the All Data screen
Search on the All Data screen
Data Entry
Faster data entry when creating Cases & Patients
Favourited & commonly used items appear in 'Quick Add' lists
More detailed biometric data analysis for paediatric patients
Improved label analysis after either scanning or importing
All data & label appear together on the one screen for faster data matching
Built in tips & tutorial should you need assistance
Background data importing so as to not block your workflow
Even while importing huge datasets you can still create Cases
