Jane's Guide Here's all the help you need to use Jane.

Jane's March Newsletter (2023)

Hey Jane community,

As we sat down to write this newsletter, we realized that so many of the improvements we made this month were based on your fantastic feedback. As a team, we talk a lot about how fortunate we are to have a community who talks to us (and each other!) as much as you do. It’s so special that we get to build Jane with all of you.

On that note, let’s look at all of the cool stuff that we made together this month:

(1) Better booking for Group Appointments and Classes

You can now book Group Appointments and Classes by clicking directly on the Schedule and choosing the appointment from the Treatment/Session drop-down on the Appointment panel!

When we released this 2 weeks ago, you let us know about a few changes that weren’t quite feeling right, so we got straight to work on those. We appreciate the quick feedback:

  • 🚀 The way you add an insurance policy should be back to normal, whether you choose to select the Patient or the Treatment first.
  • 🚀 We’ve added all those juicy client details back (last visit, # of no-shows, starred notes, etc.).
  • 🔜 We heard that the Treatment drop-down wasn’t expanding to accommodate some longer Treatment names, so we’re working on ensuring everything fits on one line.

(2) Improvements: Online Appointments for Groups

Last month, we released our first optional add-on, a group telehealth feature, that allows you to meet with couples and families online right within Jane. We’ve been loving the feedback you’ve shared, so here’s a round-up of improvements we’ve made based on that:

  • 🌊 Virtual backgrounds (on Chrome only), so you can now join your call from the ocean, the forest, or even outer space.
  • 🎙️ A banner in the waiting room that helps everyone feel confident they’ve got their microphone and camera permissions enabled.
  • 🎧 Persistent settings for your camera, speaker, and microphone inputs/outputs! This means that Jane will remember what you used on your last call (e.g. your wireless headphones) and connect to those first if they’re hooked up to your device.
  • 🖼️ Better video sizing to make sure we’re using all of the space we can in the browser (on Chrome only right now).
  • 📶 A network indicator to help you see how strong your internet is. You’ll also receive a notification if you experience a significant drop in your connection.
