New Features

Thanks to the incredible power of ai development, and specifically Syggy - created by our CTO Mike Pence, we have broken our personal records for software development by about 30x. Here are the features we have ideated, built, tested and deployed since our beta launch on Sept 25,2026. Many of these feature additions came from the MedStartr community that cares about improving health and healthcare through innovation. Please be welcome to suggest features, we are here for you and to enable you.
