Patient management
The
ECH
O
SOFT
software allows you to consult the measures carried out from the
AUDI
O
SCHOOL
device, it integrates
a database in which the patient data from the different measures can be stored.

Creating a new patient
By default, the database does not contain any patients, before a measure can be performed, a new patient must be
created. To do this, click on the
New
button in the
Patient
box on the left of the screen.
Several types of information are available, some of which are mandatory such as title, name, first name and date of
birth. The date of birth is used to display the normal hearing thresholds, so it is important to fill it in correctly.
All information about a patient can be edited. To access the patient profile screen, select the patient and click the
Edit
patient profile
button at the bottom of the main screen.
