Additional Notes
- Using minimum specification: When using minimum specification, user should manage their usage carefully, otherwise the experience will be less desirable. For example, users with only 20GB of free storage should carefully manage their storage or backup capability from Heidi Scribe wouldn’t be active.
- Support: Offer a troubleshooting guide for users with older systems to help them improve performance (e.g., closing background applications, ensuring system updates).
- Communication: Clearly communicate the benefits of updating hardware and software to users and clinics, emphasising long-term gains in performance and security.
