Hero Sidekick is a smart toolbar that lives on top of EMIS or SystmOne, bringing the most-used Hero features directly into the EHR — helping you get more done, without changing how you work.
🔹 Patient Context Syncing
Sidekick now detects which patient you’re viewing in EMIS/SystmOne, allowing you to quickly take action — whether that’s sending a message, logging a request, or starting a booking.
🔹 Patient Change Warning
When you switch patients, Sidekick gives you a clear prompt to confirm whether you want to continue with the previous patient or switch to the new one.
🔹 Key Hero Tools at Your Fingertips
Send messages, log requests, start bookings or quick consults — right from the toolbar. No more tab switching or duplicate logins.
🔹 Multi-Practice Support
For users who work across multiple practices, Sidekick will follow your Hero login context and make sure you’re acting in the right place.
🔹 Manual Update Check
You can now check for the latest Sidekick version from the app itself — just click the icon with your initials and choose "Check for updates."
Improved error handling for patient loading and authentication.
More stable connection handling between Hero and your EHR system.
Faster load times and smoother transitions between actions.
Sidekick now logs relevant errors and sends them to Hero to help our support team assist faster.
