2026
Uploads
- More reliable file uploads: On the web, health records, imaging scans and files you attach in chat or messages now upload straight to secure storage. They go up in pieces, several at a time, and a piece that fails is retried automatically.
- Clearer upload progress: When you upload records, the progress bar now moves steadily as each file uploads. Before, it only moved when a whole file finished.
Messages
- Know when someone starts a conversation: When someone starts a new conversation with you, you now get a notification and the conversation shows as unread. Before, this only happened for later messages.
- No more empty conversations: If the first message of a new conversation fails to send, an empty conversation is no longer left behind.
- Upload indicator for new conversations: On the web, starting a conversation with files attached now shows a loading indicator while the files upload.
Chat
- Reinjury analysis for NBA players: The assistant can now answer questions about reinjury, such as how often players get hurt again, which players are most prone to it, and which injuries tend to follow others.
- More accurate sports stats: Stats for a league now count only that league's games. Answers that combine games with injuries no longer count the same game or injury twice, and win percentages now come from recorded game results.
Prescriptions
- DoseSpot always in the navigation bar: For providers, the DoseSpot entry now stays in the navigation bar even when no requests are waiting. With nothing waiting, it opens DoseSpot's home page. Before, it only appeared once a request came in.
Chat
- Faster replies after sharing files: When you've shared files earlier in a conversation, the assistant no longer reloads all of them each time you send a message, so replies start sooner. It keeps a short summary of each file you share and opens the file itself only when your question needs the details.
Sleep
- Accurate sleep time on the web: The sleep card on the web calendar now counts only the time you were asleep. Before, time awake during the night was added to your sleep total.
Reliability
- Fewer failed requests: Fixed an issue that could sometimes make an action in the app fail with a server error.
Calendar
- Health entries on the web calendar: The calendar in the web app now marks days that have meals, symptoms and treatments, with a legend and tooltips, and shows those entries as soon as you pick a day.
Meals
- Copy a previous meal: When you add a meal in the web app, you can now search your past meals and copy one instead of entering it again.
Activities
- Faster activity history: Your activity history now loads much faster, especially if you have years of wearable data, and loading it no longer slows down the rest of the app.
- Activity data fix: Fixed a problem where activity data could fail to load for some people with older sleep records synced from an Android phone.
Medical records
- New imaging viewer: Imaging studies in the web app now open in a new study viewer, for both patients and providers.
Chat
- SMART model by default: New accounts in the web app now start with the SMART model selected in chat.
For You
- More relevant posts: Posts from X and Threads in your For You feed are now matched more closely to your health topics, and posts that don't fit any of them are left out.
Behind the scenes
- Stronger security checks across our services and internal tools.
- Faster recovery if an update ever needs to be rolled back.
- Reliability fixes and updates to the software our services run on.
Chat
- Better follow-up answers: The assistant now remembers what it looked up earlier in a conversation, such as your health records, so a follow-up question builds on it instead of losing that information.
- Longer answers: General questions can now get longer replies. If a reply still reaches its length limit, the assistant tells you, and you can ask it to continue where it stopped.
- Nearby places and menus in any chat: You can ask about places near you or a restaurant's menu in any chat, not only in questions about your health.
- Faster suggested questions: Suggested questions in chat now appear right away and refresh in the background, so you see a new set next time.
- More reliable replies on the web: Fixed an issue in the web app where a reply could stop appearing partway through.
Sleep and activity
- Sleep counts time asleep: Sleep charts, averages and stages now count only time asleep. Time awake during the night is shown as its own "Awake Time" activity, and time in bed is no longer included.
- Your last 7 days: Activity cards now show your last 7 complete days (for sleep, the 7 nights ending last night) instead of an average of weekly averages.
- Oura sleep matches Oura: Today's sleep time for Oura now uses Oura's own nightly total, the same number the Oura app shows. On iOS, opening Oura sleep from Today now shows the night's actual sleep stages.
- No more duplicate nights: Sleep that the Oura or WHOOP app saves to Apple Health is no longer counted a second time as an Apple Health night. On Android, Health Connect sleep from Oura, WHOOP or Fitbit is skipped when that device is connected to SMART directly.
- Sleep scores for Apple Health and WHOOP: On iOS, nights from Apple Health and WHOOP, which don't provide a sleep score, now get a SMART estimate based on how long you slept and how much deep and REM sleep you got. The score is marked as an estimate.
- See where an activity came from: On iOS, an activity's detail screen now names its source, so you can tell Apple Health sleep from Oura sleep.
- Refresh activities on the web: A new refresh button next to Activities on the Today page reloads your latest activity data.
Care and messages
- Your care team, organized: On iOS, Care now lists SMART Clinic doctors and your own doctors separately, and only SMART Clinic doctors carry the SMART verified badge. Picking a doctor opens your chat with them right away.
- Chat with SMART Support: On iOS, a new Support row at the bottom of Care lets you message the SMART support team for help with the app.
- Friends list shows friends: On iOS, you now reach doctors and support staff through Care, so your Friends list shows only your friends.
- Delete conversations on the web: You can now delete a message conversation from your chat list in the web app.
- Clearer unread messages on the web: The unread dot now appears only on conversations with messages you haven't read, and the messages button shows how many unread messages you have.
- Messages marked read when opened (providers): In the provider web app, opening a conversation now marks it as read and clears its unread indicator, and new messages in a conversation you have open no longer count as unread.
Medical notes
- Notes for patients with limited records: Specialty notes, discharge summaries and referral letters no longer fail when a patient's records have nothing for one of their sections. That section is left out and the rest of the note is delivered.
Health records
- More reliable imaging uploads: When you upload medical images, one file that can't be read no longer fails the whole upload, and an image that didn't save can be uploaded again.
- Vital signs kept together: Vital signs taken at the same visit, such as blood pressure, heart rate, height and weight, now appear together as one entry in your health records timeline instead of being split in two.
Profile and settings
- Health Profile fixes: On iOS, choosing your blood type, sex and gender in Health Profile works again, your choices are kept while you edit, and saving no longer fails when one of them is left blank. Type O blood types now save correctly.
- Easier password reset: On iOS, resetting your password from Settings now fills in your account's email address for you.
Today
- Smoother Today screen: On iOS, tapping a day on the date strip now slides smoothly to it, long tile names like "Walking Step Length" are no longer cut off, and the pull-to-refresh spinner no longer appears between the dates and your tiles. Also fixed a display glitch in Care.
Rewards
- Redeem section stays put: On iOS, the Redeem section in Rewards no longer disappears when the rewards catalog fails to load or contains an entry the app can't read. Pull to refresh to try again. The brands carousel also keeps the same order instead of shuffling on every visit.
Meals
- How your food score works: On the web, a new info button next to the food score explains how it's calculated: a score from 1 to 100 based on 54 attributes across 9 health areas.
For You
- Cleaner article summaries: Health article summaries in your For You feed now end at a full sentence, and articles too short to summarize are left out instead of getting a filler summary.
Chat
- Ask about any photo: You can now share a photo that isn't health related and the assistant will answer your question about it. Before, it replied with a generic "filtered" message.
- Faster image uploads: Images you attach in chat now upload in the background, so the assistant starts responding sooner.
- Faster suggested prompts: Suggested prompts load more quickly.
- Upgraded AI model: The assistant now runs on a newer, more capable AI model.
Medical notes
- Faster note generation: Notes for large medical records now generate noticeably faster.
- More reliable notes: If our primary AI service has an outage, note generation automatically switches to a backup instead of failing.
Behind the scenes
- Groundwork for more detailed access controls for care teams and organizations.
- Better security tooling for credential management.
New
- Fresh Spotify picks every day. Spotify recommendations on For You now change daily.
Improvements
- Smarter AI assistant. It handles symptom questions and follow-up questions better, and only uses your health data when your question is about your health. Web searches now use sources chosen for the topic you ask about.
- Better photo uploads in chat. More image formats work, large photos are resized automatically, and if a photo can't be used, the assistant tells you why.
- Sleep counts toward the day you wake up. A night of sleep is no longer split at midnight. This matches how Oura and Fitbit report sleep.
- More reliable rewards. Points are no longer lost when a request times out, your balance no longer drops to zero during a service interruption, and daily check-ins follow your local day instead of rolling over in the evening.
- Better wearable syncing. Whoop and Oura stay connected more reliably, and Whoop strain, calories burned and sleep stay up to date. When Apple Health or Health Connect data is synced again, we now update those hours.
- "Messages" is now "Chat" across the web app.
- Clearer messages on the web. When you add or remove a patient, add a dependent's account, or delete your account, the web app now tells you if access is still being set up. This usually takes a few minutes.
- Back to where you were. If you have to sign in, the web app now takes you back to the page you were opening.
Fixes and security
- Fixed an issue where a sign-in verification code on the web could be sent more than once.
- An account is now always either a patient account or a provider account, never both.
- Security improvements to sign-in and access control.
- Providers can generate specialty notes for a patient, with the sources shown for each section.
- Sleep and activity numbers are more accurate on web, and Oura data now matches across web and mobile.
- Chat answers arrive sooner.
- Rewards history and balances are more reliable.
Highlights
- Sync your wearables on demand from the web, and see when each one last synced.
- For You improved on phones and smaller screens.
- Unread messages are easier to spot.
Web
Sync your wearable when you want. My Activity now shows when your selected wearable last synced, with a Sync button to pull in your latest data. Your wearable connections also show their last sync time.
For You on smaller screens. In a phone browser or a narrow window, For You now has Insights, Feed, and Music tabs so each gets the full width. On larger screens all three sit side by side.
Scroll through your activity charts. Scroll sideways on a chart to move to the previous or next time period.
Unread messages stand out. A red dot appears when you have unread messages, unread conversations are shown in bold, and both clear as soon as you open the conversation.
Fixed: Some messages showed "Unknown Sender" instead of the name of the person who sent them.
Everywhere
Stronger access controls. We tightened permission checks across our services as part of ongoing security work. There is nothing you need to do.
A steadier Oura connection. Our link to Oura now stays in place while we roll out updates, instead of being rebuilt each time.
New
- Google Calendar in SMART Calendar. Connect your Google account from the calendar page to see your Google events alongside your SMART day. Select a day to view its events, open an event for details, join a meeting by link or phone, or jump to the event in Google Calendar. You can sync or disconnect at any time.
- Cited sources in Universal Notes. Each section of a generated note now lists the records it draws from. Citations such as "[12] Encounter Summary" link directly to the underlying record, so providers can verify every statement against the chart.
- SMART website. New product video and optimizations for phones.
Improvements
- Faster, more personal For You feed. The feed loads noticeably faster and is prepared ahead of time. Ranking now draws on the interests you express in chat, and every one of your interests is represented in the first set of articles.
- Notes for large charts. Note generation no longer fails for patients with very large record sets.
- Better lab result matching. Improved matching of symptom-related lab results, including hard-to-match tests such as RDW, and vital signs are now identified at import time.
- Calendar resilience. The calendar page recovers gracefully when it hits a rate limit instead of showing a blank error.
- Friendlier error page. If something goes wrong on the web app, you now see a clear crash screen rather than a raw error.
Chat
- Choose your chat model. You can now pick which AI model powers your conversation.
Rewards
- Track your monthly points. The Rewards page now shows how many points you have earned this month against the monthly cap, and tells you when you have reached it.
- More accurate points history. Rewards you redeem from the catalog now appear in your history, so your totals add up.
For You
- A more focused feed. We removed generic live social posts and retired an outdated news source.
- Video post fix. Fixed a language issue affecting some video posts.
Website
- Refreshed homepage. A new look, faster-loading images, and smoother rendering in Safari.
Fixes
Some of your health records from other healthcare providers could not be connected to SMART when the CommonWell network found only a likely match for you. SMART can now review and confirm these likely matches, so more of your records can be brought in.
