Edumate Medical Centre

We are excited to share that Edumate Medical Centre is now operational. Tailored for school staff managing the sickbay, medication, or working in the School Clinic, the Medical Centre offers a centralised Dashboard and a dedicated hub for their daily tasks. The new Edumate Medical Centre builds on some of our existing medical features, many of which have been greatly enhanced. Additionally, it introduces numerous new features essential for today's school environment.

AI & Edumate

We are using AI in our development and testing processes to deliver higher-quality features faster, with shorter release cycles, broader test coverage, and more consistent practices across the product team. We are also adding AI-powered capabilities into Edumate itself. Stay tuned for updates. If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out to Greg.

Support for Edumate 6.1

Most schools are now using Edumate 7.0, and new features are being released only for this version. Edumate 6.0 will remain in limited support for a short period. If you are still on Edumate 6.1, now is the ideal time to plan your migration to 7.0 before support for 6.1 ends. Please contact Support for guidance on the migration process.
