New Features 🎉​

Fewer Clicks, Faster Workflow​

Selecting your desired dose recommendation is now quicker — simply choose your option without needing to click “Proceed.”

Expanded Support for Routes and Units​

We’ve added support for new routes of administration and measurement units.

New Features 🎉​

Feedback form​

You can now share your thoughts with us using our new feedback form. Just click the feedback button located in the top-right corner of the screen—above the search bar and below the patient header. We welcome and appreciate all feedback.

New Features 🎉​

Creatinine and eGFR​

Touchdose can now retrieve creatinine levels for children and display the patient-specific reference range. If the value falls outside this range, it will be clearly highlighted. We also check the recency of creatinine results—if a value is outdated, it will not be shown in the patient header. However, you can still access the value and its date by clicking on the out-of-date symbol.

If the patient’s height is available, Touchdose calculates an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Modified Bedside Schwartz equation and categorises it according to KDIGO guidelines. A renal caution is triggered if the patient’s eGFR is below 45 mL/min/1.73m² or if height is unavailable—preventing eGFR calculation—but the creatinine level is elevated.

It’s important to note that Touchdose does not factor creatinine or eGFR into dosing recommendations. Adjustments based on this information remain the prescriber’s responsibility. This data is displayed in the patient header under a section labelled “For information only.”

Rounding​

When Touchdose performs dose calculations based on a relative formulary dose, it suggests rounding options above and below the calculated value within a 5% tolerance. The system prioritises rounding to the fewest significant figures within this range.

Depending on the scenario, Touchdose may present only a rounding-down option, only a rounding-up option, or no rounding suggestion at all. Rounding is not provided for dose ranges, rates, or values explicitly defined in the formulary, nor when constrained by a maximum or minimum dose. Where rounding options are available, Touchdose displays the rounding deviations as a percentage for reference.

Formulary Dose Hover Feature Now Available​

In the Suggested Dose section, the dose and frequency are now underlined, allowing you to hover over them to display a pop-up. This pop-up provides additional details from the underlying formulary, including:

• Dose
• Frequency
• Divided doses
• Dose limits
• Patient group information

These details help explain how the patient-specific dose was determined.

Handling of Relative vs. Exact Doses​

If the underlying dose is not relative (i.e., not based on weight or other patient factors), the formulary dose will be identical to the patient-specific dose.

• If the underlying dose is relative, the pop-up will display:
• The relative formulary dose
• Any minimum or maximum dose limits specified in the formulary

This feature allows users to:

• Check any calculations performed during dose selection.
• Assess whether the patient’s dose is near the boundaries of the recommended dosing range.

The hover feature is available both during the Selecting a dose recommendation stage and at the final step when confirming dose recommendations. For an example, refer to the Formulary dose hover feature in the IFU.

Simplification of the Dose Selection Page​

Previously, when multiple routes of administration, forms, or divided dose options were available, they each generated separate suggested doses, sometimes leading to overwhelming repetition. To streamline this, some decisions are now resolved in the final step, reducing duplication and simplifying dose selection.

Key improvements:​

Divided Doses

• If a divided dose is specified in the formulary, it is now presented as a total dose with divisions rather than being immediately broken down into a dose and frequency.
• In the final phase of prescribing, after selecting a dose recommendation, the system will resolve the total dose into a frequency and quantity per dose.
• If the formulary provides a range of divided dose frequencies, you will be prompted to select a frequency, after which the system will calculate the quantity per dose accordingly.
• For more details, see Handling of divided doses and Frequency selection.

Routes of Administration

• Routes of administration are now grouped together. You will select your preferred route only during the final phase of prescribing, after selecting a dose recommendation and clicking Proceed. See Route / Method selection for details.

Forms

• Different formulations of a medication are now grouped together. You will choose the preferred form during the final phase of prescribing, after selecting a dose recommendation. See Form selection for more information.

Changes to Smart Alerts​

• There have also been changes to how smart alerts are presented. See the Smart alert section for details.
  • When selecting a dose recommendation, only ideal body weight (IBW) smart alerts are displayed.
  • In the final phase of prescribing, after all decisions have been resolved, all relevant smart alerts are shown.

New Features 🎉​

• Ability to configure different zoom settings for each client.

New Features 🎉​

• Enhanced analytics functionality.

• When "Not Obese" is selected, this choice is now applied to dose recommendations for other drugs and conditions.

• A "Not Obese" tag is added to the patient header, allowing you to click for additional details or to reset the selection.

New Features 🎉​

• Dose units are now displayed with enhanced clarity.
• The validation range for children's weight, height, and BMI has been extended from the 0.05th–99.95th percentile to the 0.01st–99.9th percentile, following analytics that showed some children fell outside the previous range.
• Improved error handling allows users to input missing values when required.
• Enhanced error and resolution messages for better user experience.
• Bug fix: Outdated or incorrect unit observations are now properly discarded.
• Percentiles are now displayed to one decimal place if they are over the 99th percentile or below the 1st percentile.
• The obesity modal has been redesigned to present information more clearly, making it easier to resolve issues.
• Improved error messaging for invalid number entries, with an added information button that provides a tooltip explaining how to resolve the error.
• The header popover now requires a click to open, preventing it from closing when the mouse moves away.

New Features 🎉​
