What’s New

Version 1.9.57

We're excited to share the latest updates to Buzz on iOS! Our team has been hard at work incorporating your feedback to make Buzz even better.

Here’s what’s new:
••• Performance Enhancements •••
Improved speed and accessibility for unread and high-priority STAT messages, ensuring you can quickly get to important communications when monitoring multiple groups.

••• New Features •••
Image to PDF Conversion:
You can now convert an image to PDF before sending it, adding a layer of versatility to how you share files. Especially useful to attach in the chart or the Medical record in EHR - with BuzzStream bridging of groups to patients - it’s seamless to push a note now.

••• Clear View Mode •••
Introducing the new Clear View mode, designed to enhance readability of long text messages. Simply double tap to clear away clutter and other interface elements, presenting message bubbles in a clean, distraction-free format. Especially beneficial on phone screens, Clear View mode allows you to focus entirely on the message content, making it easier to read and respond to peers. Optimizes on how you collaborate on the go.

••• Pinch and Zoom on Chat •••
Apart from the Clear View, we’ve enhanced usability with pinch and zoom functionality on Recents view and the chat view, a great help for those needing a closer look or who use reading glasses. Even if you use smaller font size normally, It is sweet to temporarily bump up the font size on the device with low-light situation or in motion when the vibrations make it harder to focus.

••• Reply Threads •••
Buzz has a unique capability of showing relevant messages in threads to show them in a clear view in a given view. When you respond in a reply thread, now you can “focus” on the particular message to reply to - the message text will be visible even in a collapsed mode. It makes the follow-up on conversations seamless and intuitive.

••• Organizational Management •••
Improvements:Administrators now have the ability to automatically add new groups to the organization and link them directly, simplifying group management and ensuring consistency across the platform.

We are committed to continuously improving Buzz to meet your needs and appreciate all the feedback that helps us make Buzz better.

Very powerful collaboration & communication App

I have been using Buzz for a couple of years and love the iPhone version. The platform is intuitive, HIPAA-compliant, and clinically driven. We work with group of physicians where it was essential to communicate beyond the EHR related activities and be able to send messages and respond in real-time.

Buzz phone is very powerful with an ability to connect 1-to-1 with other Buzz users or even patients or family members on the landline. I can call patients from my own device while showing the patients my organization phone number as a caller ID rather than the their own personal number. During Covid crisis, they quickly added Buzz Video Calls and document/form editing and signature features - they're incredible! The best part is the patient has no app or other third party download they have to use.

Company also provides a real-time support to our organization to answer any queries and provide updates. The Skyscape support team actually takes feedback very seriously and is very quick to address any concerns and eager to tackle suggestions for new features or improvements!

Happy to get rid of WhatsApp

Ever since Facebook updated their privacy policy for WhatsApp to start collecting data and sharing it with Facebook, I was concerned about the risk involved to everyone, especially thous of us who are unknowingly using WhatApp for health care related communications. I need to be able to connect with other doctors and my clinical staff in a fast and secure way that makes health data safe knowing that the conversations are not being tracked or the meta-data is being used for advertising purposes. This is where I discovered Buzz. I was thinking about switching to Signal or Telegram, but non of these apps are HIPAA secure or should be used by healthcare providers. Most of the features found in WhatsApp and much more are available here. I'm definitely very happy with the service and recommend it to all my colleagues. Happy to get rid of WhatsApp.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your endorsement. We have added an ability to integrate users' WhatsApp conversation messages in Buzz groups and even publish them independently via public or private links. We are committed to streamlining healthcare communication and collaboration without compromising or exposing your personal and professional data to ad-networks. Buzz works seamlessly between mobile and web platforms including Android & Chrome-based platforms, commonly used by patients & their families.

One word: useful. This app is the future.

Who knew you could innovate so effectively in healthcare? Buzz has done it! They’ve incorporated features from tech platforms that we use in our everyday lives but that digital health has been far too slow to adopt. It’s also totally secure, which is 100% necessary. Buzz has inadvertently helped our organization think outside of the box, and it has provided a robust set of tools for us to do so. Need a new feature? Buzz is so agile they will actually incorporate it overnight. I’ve shared the app with colleague and friends who, after playing with it to figure out the features, totally love it. This is the future of healthcare especially in a post-COVID world. Highly recommend this app for any organization.

Developer Response ,

We are happy to know this app makes your life easier during these trying times - this app was developed to be easy to use along with being HIPAA compliant as a way to communicate efficiently and secure.
