Stop Missing the Updates: How to Keep Up With Your Clinic’s Tech Tools

The tech tool that your allied health clinic uses has probably updated four times since you last logged in.

New features. Bug fixes. Shortcuts you’ve been waiting months for.

All sitting quietly in a release note you never saw.

In the fast-moving world of allied health tech, keeping up with your digital tools can feel like a full-time job - but it doesn’t have to. You don’t need to become a software expert. You just need a few smart habits and a little team rhythm.

Here’s how to stop falling behind and start getting more value from the allied health tech tools you already have.

 

Why Staying Up to Date Matters 🧠

Every time you miss an update on your tech tool, you risk:

  • Wasting time on clunky workarounds

  • Missing out on easier ways to engage clients

  • Overlooking new features that improve outcomes

  • Staying stuck in the “old version” while other clinics are speeding ahead

You wouldn’t stick with a paper calendar while your team uses online bookings. So why let your platform grow without you?

🔄 Think of This as a Digital Care Plan (for Your Clinic) 🔄

Just like you track client goals and milestones, your tech needs regular check-ins too.

Here’s how to keep your clinical team in the loop - without burning out.

✅ Level 1: Easy Wins (5 Minutes or Less)

Sign up to your platform’s mailing list

The easiest way to get release notes, feature drops, and security info in your inbox.

Sign up to the Theratrak mailing list here.

Follow their Instagram or LinkedIn

Many platforms post feature tips, sneak peeks, and use-case ideas weekly.

Follow Theratrak on IG here.

Skim their help videos or YouTube

One short video could save your team hours.

👥 Level 2: Build It Into Your Team Culture

Nominate a “tech champion” on your team

Doesn’t have to be the most tech-savvy person - just someone curious enough to check for new updates and share them with the team.

Add a “what’s new?” moment to team meetings

Even 3 minutes per week can keep everyone aligned and confident. Get the team involved and ask them to share how they’re making the most of the tool’s range of features.

Book short team trainings every 6-12 months

You’ll often find that some features you weren’t using could replace a manual task.

Let’s say your team uses Theratrak. One of our recent updates added smarter onboarding and help support - but maybe no one noticed. That could mean extra wasted team time and more admin work your team didn’t need to do.

At Theratrak, we want every team to be able to use the platform quickly and easily to make more impact within their clinics. That’s why we created TheratrakU as a 1-hour PD training for new starters. And we always run free team training sessions and free demos to show new teams how Theratrak can make a difference. Book in for a training or demo here.

🚀 Level 3: Go Pro With Feedback + Early Access

Join beta testing or early access programs

Be the first to try new tools, provide feedback to co-design the platform and help shape features before they launch.

Send feedback when things feel clunky

Good platforms (like Theratrak) listen to their users - and often improve based on your input. We’re always open to feedback and appreciate every therapist who has given us notes to improve the platform for the whole industry.

Fun fact if you shake your Theratrak app (maybe out of frustration 😂) you will see a pop up that lets you share feedback directly with our team.

At Theratrak, we are built by users for users - co-designing every step of the way.

Remind Your Team: You’re Not Falling Behind - You Just Need a Process 💬

Tech tools are supposed to help you. But when updates fly past unnoticed, even the best platforms lose their impact.

The solution isn’t more apps - it’s more awareness.

At Theratrak, We’re Always Evolving - and We Make It Easy to Stay in the Loop 🛠️

We regularly release new features based on therapist feedback. From admin time savers to better participant tracking, we’re here to make your clinic flow smoother.
