## Changed

* **Eka Developer Platform: each product has its own pages.** The product menu has 18 items, grouped under ABDM Connect, Clinical AI, More from Eka, Newsboard and Resources. Each product has its own Documentation, and its own APIs & SDKs when it has an API. Old addresses redirect to the new pages. For example, Eka EMR has [Documentation](https://developer.eka.care/docs/emr/patients.md), [APIs & SDKs](https://developer.eka.care/api-sdk/emr/instructions/before-you-begin.md) and [Changelog](https://developer.eka.care/docs/get-started/emr-changelog.md).
* **Eka Developer Platform: the docs have a new look.** Every page has new background, colours and fonts. No API changes with it.

## Corrected

* **IPD: a correction to the API reference.** The reference said IPD calls sat under `/ipd/v1/sdk` and `/ipd/v1/service`. They sit under `/ipd/sdk` and `/ipd/service`, where the services run, and the calls themselves never moved. [Read the page](https://developer.eka.care/api-sdk/ipd/configuration/setup/get-ipd-setup-data.md).

**June 2, 2026**

June 2, 2026

##  Breaking

* **\[EkaAgents] echo-sdk prompt-schema rename** — `AgentConfig`, `PersonaConfig`, and `TaskConfig` are renamed to `AgentPrompt`, `PromptPersona`, and `PromptTask` and have moved from `echo.agents.config` to `echo.prompts.schemas`. `GenericAgent` and `AgUiAgent` now require `agent_prompt=` instead of `agent_config=`, `FetchedPrompt.agent_config` is now `FetchedPrompt.agent_prompt`, and `load_agent_config()` is replaced by `load_agent_prompt()`. The old module path and kwargs are removed — callers must update imports and constructor arguments before upgrading to 0.3.3.
* **\[EkaAgents] echo-sdk skill package move** — `echo.agents.skill.Skill` is now `echo.skills.Skill`; `Skill` is no longer re-exported from `echo.agents`. Update imports to `from echo.skills import Skill`.

## Added

* **\[EMR] Appointment reschedule history on the doctor app** — Rescheduling an appointment now persists a forward/back link between the source and the newly created appointment. The old appointment record stores `next_aid` (the new appointment id) at reschedule time, and the new appointment stores `prev_aids` (the chain of prior appointment ids) and inherits the existing `receipts` so payments and services already attached to the original visit are preserved. Both fields are exposed on the `AppointmentsModel` returned by the Firestore manager.
* **\[EkaAgents] Runtime skill configuration in echo-sdk** — New `echo.skills.SkillRuntimeConfig` (name, description, `prompt_config: PromptConfig`, `tool_names`) plus a `build_skills_from_runtime()` helper that fetches every skill's prompt in parallel via the configured prompt provider and materialises them into `Skill` instances. Individual prompt-fetch failures are logged and the offending skill is dropped, so one bad skill config no longer breaks the whole turn.
* **\[EkaAgents] `PromptConfig` descriptor** — New Pydantic model for fetching prompts from a provider (currently `langfuse`), with `name`, `version`, and `prompt_variables` and automatic whitespace-stripping on `name`. Used by `SkillRuntimeConfig` and intended for host apps that wire skill prompts dynamically.

## Fixed

* **\[EMR] Property persistence for examination findings and procedures** — The prescription pad now carries the `properties` map through the local upsert path and the genie sync middleware for both examination findings and procedures. Previously the save pipeline only forwarded `id` and `name` (plus `source` for findings), so structured property-group values such as Since/Note on findings and Date/Note on procedures were silently dropped on save and never made it to the synced prescription. Both reducer paths now use the shared `normalizeExaminationEntities` / `normalizeProcedureEntities` helpers and spread the full normalised entity, and the middleware emits `properties` when present.

## Changed

* **\[EkaAgents] Langfuse prompt provider returns `AgentPrompt`** — `LangfusePromptProvider.get_prompt()` and `FetchedPrompt` now expose `agent_prompt` (was `agent_config`); the underlying Langfuse-side schema (`role`, `goal`, `backstory`, `expected_output` on the prompt config; description in the prompt text) is unchanged.

## Upgraded

* **\[Platform] echo-sdk 0.3.3** — Python package version bumped from 0.3.2 to 0.3.3 alongside the prompt-schema rename and skills package split.

**June 1, 2026**

June 1, 2026

## Added

* **\[EMR] IPD dashboard and admit-patient drawer as remote web components** — The IPD list and admit-patient flows now render through `<ipd-dashboard>` and `<ipd-admit-patient-drawer>` custom elements loaded from a remotely-hosted IPD SDK (`elixir-dr.eka.care/ipd/main/assets/index.js`, with a matching dev URL). The host app injects Firestore, `fetchWithRefresh`, and a Firestore SDK adapter into the elements, and receives callbacks for profile mount, switch-workspace mount, admit/discharge, EMAR, IPD notes, medical history, medical document, billing payments, IPD slip print, and discharge summary. This decouples IPD shipping from the main app release cycle.
* **\[EMR] `OPEN_GLOBAL_SEARCH` bridge event** — The IPD web component (and other embedded surfaces) can now request the host app to open global search by dispatching an `OPEN_GLOBAL_SEARCH` event over the `EKA_EVENT` bus. The host respects route eligibility via `canOpenGlobalSearch(pathname)` and emits a `GLOBAL_SEARCH` track with `where: 'ipd'`.
* **\[EMR] Property groups on examination findings and procedures** — The prescription pad's examination findings and procedures rows now support the same structured property-group editor previously available only on symptoms and diagnoses. Examination findings expose a `Since` prefix-suggest group (Hour/Day/Week/Month/Year) and a `Note` open-text group; procedures expose a `Date` group and a `Note` group. Each row renders a more-options modal driven by `SymDiaPropertyInput`, with backward-compatible migration from the legacy top-level `notes` string into the structured note property group on read.
* **\[EMR] `source` discriminator on examination findings** — `ExaminationEntity` now carries an optional `source: 'symptom' | 'diagnosis'` field so the pad can track whether a finding was added from the symptoms or diagnoses path, enabling correct routing of property updates back into the originating entity.
* **\[EMR] Context-scoped sym/dia properties endpoint** — `GET /v1/sym-and-diag/properties` accepts three new optional query parameters: `procedures` (comma-separated procedure ids), `resource` (`Observation` | `Condition` | `ServiceRequest`), and `category` (e.g. `symptom`, `encounter-diagnosis`, `exam`). Callers pass a `SymDiaPropertiesContext` of `symptoms`, `diagnosis`, `examination_findings`, or `procedures` and the SDK maps it to the right `resource`/`category` pair.
* **\[EMR] Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) and Hip Circumference vitals** — Prescription pad vitals catalogue adds two new server-backed vitals: Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) and Hip Circumference. Both accept numeric values with decimal precision and render through the standard vitals input flow alongside existing vitals.

## Improved

* **\[EMR] On-demand IPD SDK loading** — `ensureIpdSdkScriptLoaded()` lazily injects the IPD SDK `<script type="module">` only when an IPD surface is opened, dedupes parallel callers via a shared promise, and surfaces a clean error toast if the SDK fails to load. Subsequent navigations reuse the already-loaded `window.IpdSDK` and avoid re-fetching the bundle.
* **\[EMR] Templar prescription rendering for examination findings and procedures** — Templar templates now render the new structured `properties` map on examination findings and procedures alongside legacy `notes`, with PDF print-body config and local PDF generation pipelines updated to consume the merged shape. Existing templates that only use `notes` continue to render unchanged.
* **\[EMR] Property-aware caching for sym/dia lookups** — Property-group fetches are now cached per `context:id` (e.g. `examination_findings:<id>`, `procedures:<id>`) so switching between symptoms, diagnoses, findings, and procedures no longer collides on a single cache key.

## Fixed

* **\[EMR] Lab tests table search returns stale or empty results** — The Lab Tests table built its Fuse fuzzy-search index once in the constructor and never refreshed it when the underlying lab data loaded or changed, so searches would miss entries or return nothing until the page was reopened. The index now rebuilds in `componentDidUpdate` whenever `data` changes, and any active search result is cleared to avoid showing matches against the stale index.

## Migrated

* **\[EMR] IPD UI extracted to a standalone SDK** — IPD admit, dashboard, billing, slip-print, and discharge surfaces previously bundled inside the doctor web app are now served from a separately-versioned IPD SDK and consumed through custom elements. The host app retains orchestration (Redux state, navigation, AI prompts for discharge summaries, PDF generation) and forwards data and callbacks into the elements.

## Hardened

* **\[Platform] JWT context propagation across appointment communication service** — Introduced an `AsyncLocalStorage`-backed request-context middleware that captures the caller's JWT identity (`cid`, `idp`) at the edge and threads it through all downstream messenger and appointment-event lookups without manual plumbing. Outbound bulk-review, reminder, reschedule, refund, receipt, payment, and cancellation payloads now carry the originating identity automatically, removing a class of bugs where context could be lost across async boundaries and tightening auditability of partner-triggered communications.
* **\[Platform] JWT-scoped attribution on patient messaging** — The patient messaging pipeline (welcome, prescription, self-assessment, and post-action communications) now propagates the authenticated caller's `c-id` and `idp` claims from the request JWT into messenger `lookup_params` alongside `khata_key`. This routes downstream billing and rate-limiting against the correct identity provider and client tenant for every SMS, WhatsApp, and push notification triggered via khata.

## Fixed

* **\[EMR] Lab tests browse-panel search returning empty/stale results** — The Fuse search index on the lab tests table was being built once in the constructor against the initial (often empty) `data` prop, so the first search after data finished loading returned no matches and later prop updates were ignored. The index now rebuilds whenever the underlying `data` prop changes, and any active search result is cleared on rebuild so users see fresh matches without having to reload the panel.

## Changed

* **\[EMR] `ExaminationEntity` shape** — `ExaminationEntity` gains optional `properties: { [k: string]: SymDiaProperty }` and `source` fields and is exported from `prescription-types-bundle`. The legacy `notes: string` field is preserved for read-compatibility but new writes route through the `pg-5243973452` note property group; consumers reading examination notes should prefer the property-group value and fall back to `notes`.
* **\[EMR] `Procedure` shape** — `Procedure` gains optional `properties: { [k: string]: SymDiaProperty }`. Date is now authored via the structured `Date` property group (`pg-31705165`) rather than the free `date` string; the `date` field remains for back-compat reads.

**May 30, 2026**

May 30, 2026

## &#x20;Breaking

* **\[Platform] eka-usage-sdk metric-type cleanup** — Dedicated error metrics are removed across all three SDKs (Go, Python, TypeScript). The `agent` metric drops `credit_consumed` and `tool_call_error`; `emr_tools` and `clinical_tools` drop `tool_call_error`. Record tool and agent error outcomes by emitting the corresponding metric with `status="error"` instead. The `agent` metric also adds a new `message` type for conversational events.

## Added

* **\[Platform] IDP-aware billable tagging in eka-usage-sdk** — `record()` now accepts optional `idp` and `c_id` parameters (Python kwargs, TS trailing args, Go `WithIDP` / `WithCID` options) sourced from the request JWT by the caller — the SDK does no token parsing or I/O. `is_billable` is set to `1` only when `status == "ok"` **and** `idp == "api-key"`; every other caller (SaaS/subscription, internal jobs, error outcomes, no-context callers) emits `0`. The new `c_id` (API key id) is copied verbatim into the payload for per-API-key analytics and defaults to `""`. `idp` itself is never written to the payload.

## Fixed

* **\[Platform] Stale ABDM metric names in eka-usage-sdk docs** — Documentation now reflects the current ABDM metric set (`abha`, `linking`, `data_transfer`), replacing the outdated names.

## Upgraded

* **\[Platform] eka-usage-sdk → 0.2.0** — Go, Python, and TypeScript SDKs all bumped to `0.2.0` (TS tag `ts-v0.2.0`) covering the IDP-aware billing tags and metric-type cleanup above.

**May 29, 2026**

May 29, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaScribe] MedScribe Alliance TS SDK feature update** — The `@eka-care/medscribe-alliance-ts-sdk` ships a feature refresh (LIFE-1696) covering 13 files with new/updated session and recording surfaces. Pull the latest tag and review the diff for the full surface.

## Improved

* **\[EMR] Server-synchronized time in Health Records Android SDK** — `TimeProvider` now tracks a server-time offset persisted via `SharedPreferences`, with `RecordsSync` parsing the `Date` header from server responses to keep the offset current. `FileEntity`, `FileStorageManagerImpl`, and `RecordsRepositoryImpl` use `TimeProvider.nowMillis()` / `nowSeconds()` instead of `System.currentTimeMillis()`, so `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, and `lastUsed` stay consistent across devices with skewed clocks.
* **\[EMR] Stale-analysing record reset in Health Records Android SDK** — `RecordsDao.resetStaleAnalysingRecords` now clears the `is_analysing` flag for documents that have been stuck in analysis past a cutoff, and the reset is triggered automatically when records are read — so a crashed or interrupted parse no longer leaves a document permanently in the analysing state.
* **\[EMR] Analysing state consolidated into SmartTag** — The `android-document-ui` records grid removes its centered analysis progress indicator and separate blur/background treatment; `SmartTag` now drives both the "Smart" and "Analysing" states via an `isAnalysing` parameter (circular progress + "Analysing" text). Simpler conditional modifiers in `RecordsGridItem`, single source of truth for the tag visuals.

**May 27, 2026**

May 27, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaScribe] startRecordingV2 in Eka JS SDK** — `@eka-care/eka-js-sdk` adds a `startRecordingV2` method that exposes the next-generation EkaScribe recording flow to JS consumers, alongside the existing `startRecording`. Use the V2 entry point for new integrations.
* **\[EMR] Date on Templar pt attribute** — The `pt` attribute in Templar templates now carries a `date` field, enabling richer rendering of patient-attached events with explicit dates on receipts and prescriptions.

**May 25, 2026**

May 25, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaScribe] Scribe UI widget in Eka JS SDK** — `@eka-care/eka-js-sdk` adds a packaged UI widget for the scribe recording flow, giving integrators a drop-in surface for capture, status, and transcript display instead of wiring those primitives by hand.

**May 22, 2026**

May 22, 2026

## Changed

* **\[EMR] Gson-based parameter parsing in AddRecordPreviewActivity** — `android-document-ui` swaps manual `JSONObject` parsing for `Gson().fromJson` when reading the intent's params payload, and removes explicit `finish()` calls during initial validation — simpler initialization, fewer transient activity teardowns on malformed input.

**May 21, 2026**

May 21, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaAgents] show\_appointments\_basic and get\_patient\_appointments\_basic in Eka MCP SDK** — `eka-mcp-sdk` v0.1.40 enables `show_appointments_basic` (list appointments with filters) and v0.1.41 adds `get_patient_appointments_basic` (fetch appointments for a specific patient), giving agents direct read access to the appointments surface without bespoke tool wiring. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/docs/datasets/build-with-ai/mcp-server/tools.md)
* **\[EMR] GST on Templar receipts** — Templar receipt templates now print GST on receipts, surfacing tax breakdown alongside the line items.

## Changed

* **\[EkaAgents] show\_appointments\_basic patient\_id filter constraint** — `show_appointments_basic` in `eka-mcp-sdk` now treats `patient_id` as a single-value filter — when a patient id is supplied, other filters are ignored — making the contract explicit and reducing ambiguous query combinations.

**May 20, 2026**

May 20, 2026

## Added

* **\[Platform] Custom Interceptor list in EkaNetwork Android** — `EkaNetwork.init` now accepts an optional list of OkHttp `Interceptor`s (stored per `appId`) and propagates them through `RetrofitServiceCreator` to both the `AuthApi` and dynamically-created services. `@JvmOverloads` is added for Java interop. Hosts can now plug in their own logging, tracing, or header interceptors without forking the network layer.

## Upgraded

* **\[EkaScribe] Eka Scribe Android → ekaNetworkAndroid 2.0.6** — `Eka-Scribe-Android` bumps the `ekaNetworkAndroid` version catalog entry from 2.0.5 to 2.0.6 to pick up the custom-interceptor support.
* **\[EMR] Health Records Android → network 2.0.6** — `eka-health-records-android` bumps the `network` library in `gradle/libs.versions.toml` from 2.0.5 to 2.0.6.
* **\[EMR] android-document-ui → records 3.3.1** — `android-document-ui` bumps the records dependency from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1.

**May 19, 2026**

May 19, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaAgents] CRM lead-creation tool in Eka MCP SDK** — `eka-mcp-sdk` ships a new MCP tool for creating CRM leads, letting agents capture and route a lead in the same conversation flow as discovery and booking.
* **\[EkaAgents] AG-UI streaming in Echo Agent Kit** — `echo-sdk` adds AG-UI streaming support so agents can emit incremental UI updates to compatible clients during a turn instead of buffering the full response.
* **\[EkaAgents] Claude prompts in Echo Agent Kit** — `echo-sdk` adds prompt support for Anthropic Claude models, broadening the LLM provider mix available to agents built on the kit.

## Changed

* **\[EMR] Templar OPD slip moved from string templates to JSX** — Templar's OPD slip is rewritten from string-concatenated templates to a JSX-rendered template, aligning it with the rest of the template engine and unlocking more structured composition for downstream changes.

**May 18, 2026**

May 18, 2026

## Improved

* **\[EMR] AddRecordPreview stability and performance in android-document-ui** — Image URI resolution and large-image validation in `AddRecordPreviewScreen` move to a background thread (`LaunchedEffect` + `Dispatchers.IO`); the preview list now hands `File` objects directly to `AsyncImage` instead of decoding bitmaps and computing orientation on the UI thread. The "Add Details" bottom sheet is gated on PDF resolution. `FileSharing` switches to `MediaStore` for downloads on Android Q+, with stream-based copy to public Downloads and URI-segment-based PDF detection. Temporary files now live in a dedicated `records_temp` cache sub-directory with better cleanup on failure.

## Fixed

* **\[EMR] AddRecordPreviewActivity initialization on malformed params** — Manual `JSONObject` parsing of intent params now runs inside proper try/catch with `finish()` calls when params are missing or malformed, so the activity can no longer persist in an invalid state on bad input.

**May 17, 2026**

May 17, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaAgents] Agent skills in Echo Agent Kit** — `echo-sdk` introduces a skills concept for building modular, reusable agent capabilities that can be composed into larger workflows.

## Fixed

* **\[EMR] Missing source files during record creation in Health Records Android** — `RecordsRepositoryImpl` now checks each source file's existence before processing or compression, logs a sync event with the document, business, and owner IDs when a file is missing, and returns `null` early so the broader record-creation path no longer surfaces a hard error when a single file has gone missing locally.

**May 15, 2026**

May 15, 2026

## Added

* **\[EMR] examinationFindings property group in Templar** — Templar adds a new `examinationFindings` property group with backward-compatible support for legacy notes, so prescriptions and clinical templates can render structured examination findings without breaking existing notes-only content.

## Improved

* **\[EkaAgents] doctor\_availability success response in Eka MCP SDK** — `eka-mcp-sdk` enriches the success response from the doctor availability flow so downstream booking tools have the context they need without re-querying.

## Fixed

* **\[EMR] Text wrapping on Templar receipts** — Fixed a Templar rendering bug where text was not breaking to the next line as expected; content now wraps correctly inside its container.

**May 14, 2026**

May 14, 2026

## Improved

* **\[EkaAgents] Selected hospital pushed to the top in Eka MCP SDK** — `eka-mcp-sdk` now surfaces the user's selected hospital at the top of availability listings, so chosen-hospital options aren't buried under nearby alternatives during a booking flow.

**May 13, 2026**

May 13, 2026

## Added

* **\[Platform] Java bindings for ABDM ECDH primitives** — The `abdm-ecdh` project adds a Java implementation of the ECDH primitives required for ABDM data-fetch flows, alongside the existing Python and Go bindings — making it easier for JVM-based HIP/HIU integrations to handle ABDM consent and data exchange.

## Hardened

* **\[Platform] CI for ABDM ECDH** — The `abdm-ecdh` repository gains a continuous integration pipeline so changes across the Python, Go, and Java surfaces are built and validated on every PR.

## Fixed

* **\[Platform] ABDM ECDH Python release pipeline** — Corrected the Python release configuration in `abdm-ecdh` so the package now publishes cleanly from the release workflow.

**May 12, 2026**

May 12, 2026

## Fixed

* **\[Platform] Aakaar EditableTable bottom AutoSuggest dropdown anchoring** — The bottom-row `AutoSuggest` dropdown in `EditableTable` was portalled to `document.body` and only realigned on window scroll or resize, so it could drift to a stale position after a row was added without triggering a page scroll, and it could hold a stale portal position that blocked user scroll after mass-clearing rows. The dropdown now uses a `getPopupContainer` that resolves to the nearest scrollable ancestor, so `rc-trigger` places it inside the same scroll context as the trigger and realigns natively on layout changes — no manual resize dispatch or blur-on-clear workaround required. `EditableTableProps` also exposes an optional `getPopupContainer` for callers with non-standard scroll hierarchies (virtualised lists, nested portals).

**May 8, 2026**

May 8, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaScribe] Pause and resume in MedScribe Alliance TS SDK** — The MedScribe Alliance TypeScript SDK now exposes `pause` and `resume` methods, letting integrators temporarily halt and continue an in-progress scribe recording without ending or restarting the session. Useful for handling interruptions mid-consultation.

**May 7, 2026**

May 7, 2026

## &#x20;Breaking

* **\[EMR] Templar receipt patient age field** — The `TPdfObject` type used by `getPatientIntroForReceipt` replaces the numeric `ageInM?: number` field with a string `age?: string`. Callers must now pass a pre-formatted age (for example, `"5 Years 3 Months"`) instead of months as an integer; the previous "compute years from months" behaviour has been removed in favour of richer year-and-month rendering. Update any caller that was passing `ageInM` to pass `age` instead.

## Added

* **\[EkaScribe] EkaScribe TS SDK getDocument, getSessionDetails, and existing-session resume** — `@eka-care/ekascribe-ts-sdk` v2.1.50 adds three new instance methods: `getDocument(document_id)` (fetch a document by id), `getSessionDetails({ session_id, presigned })` (fetch full session metadata, documents, and `user_status` lifecycle), and `startRecordingForExistingSession({ txn_id, business_id, created_at, microphoneID?, sharedWorkerUrl?, flavour? })` (resume recording for a previously initialised session by reconstructing the audio pipeline and session bucket path). New `TGetV1SessionDetailsResponse`, `TSessionDocument`, and related types are exported. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/api-sdk/scribe/sdks/ekascribe-ts-sdk.md)

* **\[EkaScribe] Document publish payload in EkaScribe TS SDK** — `postV1Document` and the `getV1Document` response now carry an optional `publish: Record<string, unknown>` payload, allowing integrators to send and read structured publish metadata alongside a session document.

* **\[EkaScribe] user\_status on patchTransactionStatus** — `patchTransactionStatus` now accepts an optional `user_status` field, mirroring the lifecycle states (`init`, `recording_started`, `commit`) returned by `getSessionDetails`, so clients can advance the user-side status on a session in one call.

## Improved

* **\[EkaScribe] Hardened VAD lifecycle in EkaScribe TS SDK** — `VadWebClient` now wraps `startVad`, `pauseVad`, `destroyVad`, `resetVadWebInstance`, `reinitializeVad`, and the silent-audio monitor in defensive try/catch blocks, and `monitorAudioCapture` now guards `micVad.pause()` with an existence check. Errors are logged via `[EkaScribe]` console output instead of bubbling up and breaking the host page. The `EkaScribe` facade applies the same protection around `reinitializeVad`, `destroyVad`, and `pauseVad`.

* **\[EMR] Patient age rendering on receipts** — `getPatientIntroForReceipt` now prints the patient's full age string (years and months) on receipts instead of computing only whole years from months, giving a more clinically meaningful age label.

**May 6, 2026**

May 6, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaAgents] service\_availability\_elicitation and book\_service in Eka MCP SDK** — The Eka MCP SDK gains two new tools for service and health-package booking flows: `service_availability_elicitation` (interactive UI tool that lets users discover services, view available dates, and pick a slot — accepts either `suggested_service_ids` or a single `service_id`, plus optional `hospital_id`, `preferred_date`, and `preferred_slot_time`) and `book_service` (creates a health-package booking from a `ServiceBookingRequest` with deduplication of concurrent calls and slot-unavailable handling). The shared elicitation builder was also generalised with an `entity_type` parameter so the same UI contract powers both doctor and service flows. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/docs/datasets/build-with-ai/mcp-server/tools.md)

* **\[EMR] Analysing UI in Health Records Android and Document UI** — The Eka Health Records Android SDK and `android-document-ui` module introduce an "analysing" state UI for documents under processing, surfacing parse-in-progress to end users instead of leaving the document in an ambiguous state. Internal core SDK contracts were adapted to drive the new UI cleanly. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/api-sdk/sdks/sdks/android/medical-records.md)

## Improved

* **\[EkaAgents] doctor\_availability\_elicitation now returns selected\_doctor\_id and selected\_hospital\_id** — When the elicitation completes successfully, the tool result now includes `selected_doctor_id` and `selected_hospital_id` in `_meta.tool_result`, so downstream booking tools can chain off the elicitation output without re-prompting the user.

## Fixed

* **\[EkaScribe] Session polling now surfaces failures as ERROR** — `SessionManager` in the EkaScribe Android SDK now transitions to `ERROR` (instead of `COMPLETED`) when transcript or full-output polling fails or times out. Failed transcript polls also short-circuit subsequent full-output polling, and `handleTransactionError` is consistently invoked on failures so users can recover and start a new session. Test scenarios were updated to reflect the new contract.

## Improved

* **\[EkaAgents] doctor\_availability\_elicitation aligned with search\_doctor\_tool** — The Eka MCP SDK removes the legacy `doctor_discovery` tool references and updates `doctor_availability_elicitation` to consume results from `search_doctor_tool`. The tool description and UI contract were updated to render multiple doctor cards in a single elicitation, and `suggested_doctor_ids` is now an accepted input parameter so an agent can hand a shortlist directly to the elicitation. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/docs/datasets/build-with-ai/mcp-server/tools.md)

* **\[EMR] IPD billing print totals** — The IPD billing print template (`getBodyForIpdBilling`) now computes Total Amount as `Σ(MRP × Qty)`, derives Total Discount from the difference with the line-item-discounted total, and renders an explicit Grand Total alongside Total Paid and amount due. The output replaces the previous Total MRP / Line Item Discount / Total Amount layout with a clearer Total Amount / Total Discount / Grand Total breakdown.

**May 2, 2026**

May 2, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaAgents] Audio transcription module in Echo Agent Kit** — Echo Agent Kit adds a new `echo.audio` module with a `BaseTranscriber` interface, a `TranscriberConfig` model, and two pluggable providers: `GeminiTranscriber` (Gemini 2.0 / 2.5 audio models) and `EkaCareTranscriber` (Eka Care ASR over HTTPS, supporting `en-IN`, `en-US`, and `hi`). Audio can be supplied as raw bytes (with explicit `mime_type`), a public URL, or a Gemini Files API URI. A new `echo[ekacare]` extra pulls in `httpx` for the Eka Care provider. `get_transcriber(config)` and `generate_transcriber_config(...)` factory helpers make it straightforward to swap providers without rewriting agent code. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/docs/agents/agent-kit/introduction)

## Upgraded

* **\[EkaAgents] Echo Agent Kit v0.1.34** — Echo Agent Kit released as v0.1.34 with the new audio transcription module bundled in. The Gemini install hint also corrected from `google-generativeai` to `google-genai`. `pip install -U echo` is safe — defaults preserve existing agent behavior.

**May 1, 2026**

May 1, 2026

## Added

* **\[EkaAgents] Skills in Echo Agent Kit** — `GenericAgent` now supports `Skill` — a lazy-loaded bundle of `(instructions + tools + description)` that can be attached and detached mid-conversation. Two activation modes are supported: `llm` (default, agent auto-injects `load_skill` / `unload_skill` meta-tools and an `<available_skills>` registry into the system prompt so the model self-routes) and `manual` (host calls `await agent.activate_skill(name)` from an upstream router). Skills also expose `on_activate` / `on_deactivate` lifecycle hooks for tenant-scoped setup or telemetry, and tool-name collisions across base tools and skills are caught at agent construction. Existing agents that don't pass `skills=` are byte-for-byte unaffected. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/docs/agents/agent-kit/agents.md)

* **\[EkaAgents] Postgres engine and PgQueryTool in Echo Agent Kit** — Echo Agent Kit now ships an opt-in Postgres client (`echo[postgres]` extra) backed by an `asyncpg` connection pool with lazy initialization, plus `PgQueryTool` — a `BaseTool` subclass that runs a parametric SQL query and returns rows. SQL files can use psycopg-style `%(name)s` placeholders, which the client rewrites to asyncpg `$N` positional binds. A process-wide default client can be registered with `set_default_client(...)` so dynamic loaders that call `tool_class()` resolve correctly. Configuration is read from `ECHO_PG_*` environment variables. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/docs/agents/agent-kit/tools.md)

* **\[EMR] pageBreakTableTr in Templar getHead** — The `getHead` helper in the Templar prescription engine now supports `pageBreakTableTr`, allowing template authors to declare table-row level page breaks for cleaner multi-page prescription rendering.

## Improved

* **\[EkaAgents] Echo Agent Kit v0.1.33** — Echo Agent Kit released as v0.1.33 with the new Skills primitive, Postgres engine, and `PgQueryTool` bundled in. `pip install -U echo` is safe — defaults preserve existing agent behavior.

**April 28, 2026**

April 28, 2026

## Added

* **\[EMR] forceApiSearch flag in Patient Directory TS SDK** — The Patient Directory TypeScript SDK now exposes a `forceApiSearch` option, letting integrators bypass the local cache and force a live API lookup for patient search — useful for high-confidence lookups where freshness must beat latency.

## Fixed

* **\[EMR] Patient Directory TS SDK lookup correctness** — Resolved an edge case in the Patient Directory TypeScript SDK where stale or partial cached state could surface incorrect patient search results; lookups now consistently reflect the live directory.

**April 27, 2026**

## Added

* **\[EkaAgents] MCP session caching in Echo Agent Kit** — The Echo Agent Kit MCP integration now caches MCP sessions per user, splitting tool discovery and session caches with independent idle and absolute TTLs, LRU eviction on pool exhaustion, and `user_session_id` plumbed through `MCPTool.run` via `tool_context`. Tool cache keys are partitioned by configurable headers (`tool_cache_key_headers`), and concurrent cache misses are serialized to avoid duplicate discovery work. [View docs](https://developer.eka.care/docs/agents/agent-kit/mcp-integration.md)

* **\[EkaAgents] Doctor discovery elicitation** — The MCP SDK now supports interactive elicitation for `doctor_discovery` cards, allowing agents to confirm doctor availability mid-conversation before booking.
