CASE Logbook docs

Getting started

Signing up

  1. Open the app and tap Sign in.
  2. Type your email address.
  3. Check your inbox for a magic-link email. Tap the link.
  4. You’re now signed in. If this is your first time, the onboarding wizard appears.

If the email doesn’t arrive within a minute, check your spam folder. If still nothing, try again with the exact email address you used to sign up — the app won’t tell you whether an address is registered or not (this is intentional and protects your privacy).

The onboarding wizard

The wizard takes about two minutes. You’ll be asked for:

  1. Your name — the way you’d sign a chart.
  2. Your specialty — pick one. This tunes the procedure list to your field.
  3. Your primary hospital — start typing its short name and pick the match from the list (the full name shows underneath so you choose the right branch); if it isn’t there yet, add it and we’ll create it for you. You can add more later.
  4. A recovery phone number — optional.
  5. A backup password — type it twice. This step matters most. Read Your backup password before you pick one.
  6. Biometric unlock — enrol Face ID or fingerprint if you want fast daily unlocking. Recommended.
  7. Finish — your account is ready.

You land on an empty case list. Time to capture your first case.

Capturing your first case

The fastest path:

  1. Tap Capture in the bottom navigation.
  2. Type the patient’s name and MRN at the top of the form.
  3. Tap the microphone next to the Notes box.
  4. Dictate the case in one breath: “TKR right knee for OA, 65-year-old, uneventful, cemented, primary surgeon.”
  5. The recording stops automatically after two seconds of silence. (Or tap Stop.)
  6. Tap Capture.

The case appears on your case list immediately. Within a few seconds, the procedure, side, and your role are filled in automatically from your notes. If something is unclear, the app asks you a follow-up question on the case page — answer it there.

What to check after your first case

  • Open Settings → Backup. The card should say Backed up · just now. If it says Never, tap Sync now.
  • Open Settings → Security. If you skipped biometric during onboarding, turn it on now.
