  ### 🤖 EkaAgents

  #### New features

  * **Smarter AI agents that focus on one task at a time** — Agents built on the Echo Agent Kit can now switch between focused flows (for example, doctor booking, lab booking, or appointment cancellations) mid-conversation, only loading the instructions and tools relevant to the active flow. The end result is faster, more on-topic agent responses without bloating every turn with unrelated capabilities.

  #### Updates

  * **Cleaner file uploads in MedAssist** — The MedAssist web widget now checks supported file types before starting an upload, so unsupported formats are rejected immediately with a clear message instead of failing partway through.

  #### Bug fixes

  * **MedAssist widget configuration on a partner deployment** — Fixed a configuration glitch that caused the MedAssist web widget to behave incorrectly on one partner surface; the widget now initializes as expected there.

  ### 📋 EMR

  #### New features

  * **Force-fresh patient search** — Apps using the patient directory can now request a live, up-to-the-second patient lookup that bypasses the local cache — useful when freshness matters more than speed.

  #### Updates

  * **Clinic name on OPD slips** — Printed OPD slips now include the clinic name in the header, making it easier to identify which clinic issued the slip.
  * **Cleaner doctor name on IPD receipts and bills** — IPD receipts and bills now show the doctor's name from their profile fields directly, producing cleaner, more consistent print output.
  * **Richer diet charts on prescriptions** — Diet chart support on prescriptions has been refined further, building on the diet chart sections introduced earlier in the month.

  #### Bug fixes

  * **Patient search consistency** — Fixed an edge case where stale cached data in the patient directory SDK could surface incorrect search results; lookups now consistently reflect the live directory.

  ### 🤖 EkaAgents

  #### New features

  * **Doctor availability confirmation mid-chat** — AI agents can now confirm a doctor's availability with the user inside the conversation before completing a booking, reducing back-and-forth.
  * **Contextual popup in MedAssist** — The MedAssist web chat widget now shows a contextual popup with relevant suggestions tied to what the user is doing.

  #### Updates

  * **Optional onboarding nudge** — Clinics can now turn off the first-load nudge in the MedAssist web widget if they prefer a quieter experience for their users.
  * **Patient profiles need a mobile number** — When agents create a new patient profile, a mobile number is now required so the patient can always be contacted.

  #### Bug fixes

  * **MedAssist web microphone** — A short-lived issue that disabled the microphone in the MedAssist web widget was identified and reverted the same day; voice input is working as expected.
  * **Correct agent on every conversation** — Fixed an edge case where the MedAssist web widget could route to the wrong agent in certain configurations.

  ### 📋 EMR

  #### New features

  * **Diet charts on prescriptions** — Doctors can now add structured diet plans directly to prescription templates, printed alongside the rest of the prescription.
  * **Richer IPD admission notes** — The IPD admission template has been expanded with new fields and a cleaner layout for capturing admission details.

  #### Updates

  * **Cleaner units on prescriptions** — Lab values and medication units now show a friendlier display label when available, falling back to the standard name otherwise.
  * **QR code in the footer** — The QR code on prescription PDFs has moved into the footer details for a tidier header.

  #### Bug fixes

  * **IPD admission preview** — Fixed a glitch where the rich-text preview of an IPD admission could show stale or malformed content.

  ### 🎙️ EkaScribe

  #### Bug fixes

  * **Clearer voice-to-text errors on iOS** — DocAssist for iOS now shows a clear error if voice-to-text fails, instead of silently dropping the recording, so users can retry.

  ### 🤖 EkaAgents

  #### New features

  * **OTP login for clinic users** — AI agents can now verify clinic staff identity via SMS OTP during a conversation, including country code selection and profile selection, so users never need to leave the chat to authenticate.

  ### 📋 EMR

  #### New features

  * **ABDM Consent Management SDK** — A new embeddable widget lets you request, track, and manage ABDM health data consents for your patients directly from your application. When a patient approves, their medical records are delivered to your backend automatically.

  #### Updates

  * **Prescription PDF signatures** — Doctor signatures in prescription PDFs now load reliably without showing outdated cached versions, and signature display can be toggled on or off per template.

  * **Eye exam print order** — Ophthalmology examination tables in prescription PDFs now always appear in the correct order.

  ### 🎙️ EkaScribe

  #### New features

  * **Document management in JS SDK** — You can now create, delete, and retrieve per-chunk transcripts for documents directly from the EkaScribe JS SDK.

  ## Updates

  * **IPD billing printouts improved** — Printed IPD billing PDFs now clearly show how much has been paid and how much is due, making it easier for billing staff to review at a glance. [View docs](/integrations/core-emr/payments)

  * **OPD slips show more detail** — OPD slips now include tags and other patient data, and the token number is printed larger so it is easier to read at the front desk.

  * **EkaScribe documentation revamped** — The EkaScribe docs now include a Quick Start guide, reordered integration methods with SDKs recommended first, and improved sidebar navigation. [View docs](/api-reference/health-ai/ekascribe/quick-start)

  ## Bug fixes

  * **Medical records upload** — Uploading very large images no longer causes the app to freeze. You now get a clear message if an image is too large.

  * **Health records processing** — Record processing no longer fails when a file goes missing mid-upload.

  ## Weekly Update — Week of March 31, 2026

  > 5 updates this week. AI agent capabilities and clinical documentation expand.

  ### 🤖 EkaAgents

  * Added — Your AI assistant can now handle ABHA login and profile management
    during a conversation — initiate login, verify OTP, pick a profile, and pull
    up the ABHA card without leaving the chat. [View docs](/ai-tools/mcp-server/supported-tools)

  * Improved — MCP Server setup documentation has been reorganized into clear,
    separate guides for [Remote](/ai-tools/mcp-server/remote-mcp) and
    [Local](/ai-tools/mcp-server/local-mcp) deployments, so you can get connected
    faster with step-by-step instructions for your specific AI client.

  * Improved — MedAssist chat on iOS now stays connected when you switch away
    from the app and come back — no more lost conversations.

  * Fixed — Error messages in MedAssist iOS chat sessions are now shown clearly
    when something goes wrong, instead of failing without explanation.

  ### 📋 EMR

  * Improved — Prescription PDFs now include additional ophthalmology tables
    (pachymetry, Amsler grid, contact lens examination), so more of your eye-care
    data prints with the prescription. [View docs](/integrations/core-emr/prescription)
