✏️ Edit & Manage Your Own Submissions

Users can now edit and delete their own framework submissions and assessments.

This update comes directly from feedback across multiple organisations, making it easier to:

  • Correct mistakes without admin support

  • Keep records accurate and up to date

  • Work more confidently within assessments


🧭 More Focused Form Experience

We’ve refined the layout of frameworks with a narrower, centred container.

This creates:

  • A more focused, distraction-free experience

  • Improved readability on larger screens

  • Cleaner, more consistent form interactions


🔔 Automated Account Activation Reminders

To help new users get started, we now send an automatic reminder email after 7 days if an invited user hasn’t activated their account.

This helps teams:

  • Improve onboarding completion

  • Reduce manual follow-ups

  • Ensure users don’t miss their invite


📡 Melo Status Page Now Live

You can now access the Melo Status Page to stay up to date with system performance and availability.

Get real-time visibility into:

  • Platform uptime

  • Ongoing incidents

April 2nd, 2026

This release brings powerful new capabilities to ABC+, including the Sleep Insights Card, the return of free text input, and improved ways to access support and share information with colleagues.

If you have any feedback or feature requests, let us know at https://support.melo.health/


🌙 Sleep Insights

Introducing Sleep Insights Card - a major new feature designed to bring clarity to one of the most important aspects of care: sleep.

Quickly understand:

  • Whether patients are getting enough sleep across a full 24-hour period

  • Are they sleeping at the right times — especially overnight?

  • What does this mean for care decisions, like 1:1 night support or discharge planning?

With clear, actionable insights, teams can make more confident, data-informed decisions around patient care.


✍️ Capture the Full Picture with Free Text

We’ve brought free text comments back across ABC+ - because real patient behaviour doesn’t fit neatly into predefined boxes.

You can now:

  • Record nuanced observations and clinical rationale

  • Document unique or complex behaviours with precision

  • Add the depth needed for high-quality reporting and recommendations


🛠️ Help, When You Need It

Getting support is now faster and easier with our new Support modal.

From one place, you can:

  • Reach out directly to our support team

  • Browse helpful guidance documentation

  • Offer your feedback and suggest new features

Everything you need, right when you need it.


🖨️ Print & Share with Ease

By popular demand, the Print button is back on the patient behaviour screen.

Easily download and share clear, structured overviews with colleagues - perfect for collaboration and reporting.
