This release is all about making the platform feel smoother, clearer and easier to use. Following user feedback, we’ve refined assessments and analytics to surface more meaningful insights, improved navigation so you can move around with less friction and given admins more control over managing users. Along the way, we’ve also made a host of small UI improvements and fixes to help everything feel more intuitive and reliable.

🚀 This release levels up both data clarity and assessment workflows, giving you sharper insights and more control over how you explore behaviour trends.
📈 Combined behaviour score – A new trend line on OASMNR and SASBA charts that multiplies frequency × severity, giving you a single, powerful view of change over time (and still easy to break down for deeper analysis).
📝 Behaviour descriptions in assessments – OASMNR and SASBA entries now support rich behaviour descriptions, adding nuance and clarity beyond the raw scores.
📅 Filter assessments by date range – Zero in on exactly the timeframe you need with new flexible filtering on the assessment list.
🤖 AI Summariser (BETA) upgrades – Improved performance and accuracy make summaries faster, clearer, and more reliable.
📊 Refined ABC timeseries – “Weighted” has been removed for a truer representation of the data.

📈 This release brings a number of visual and functional upgrades to the patient profile, helping you work more clearly and efficiently across your assessments.
🖥️ Full-width graphs on larger screens - The behaviour over time charts now make full use of your screen - giving you more space to explore the data, especially on desktop and widescreen monitors.
📇 New patient metadata card - All key patient info - name, DOB, NHS ID, ward, tags, creation date - is now grouped in a single card at the top of the profile. Easier to read, quicker to edit.
🥧 Spread of severity (ABC and ABS) - Quickly understand the breakdown of behaviour type and severity with new visual pie charts now added to both the ABC and ABS frameworks.
🐛 Hotfix for graph exports - A quick fix to address a display issue affecting some exported graphs - everything should now render as expected.
We will be taking a break from feature development for the next few weeks as we turn our attention to some work behind the scenes - designed to improve how Melo works and scales for the future. Watch this space for more updates soon!
