Software updates
Details of outages and upgrades will be posted here as they happen.
Current status
The system is functioning as expected.
2024 upgrade
The next upgrade to Momentum will take place during the weekend of the 10th and 11th of August. The system will be unavailable from 5pm on Friday 9 August until 8am on Monday 12 August.
interRAI has been using Momentum as its Assessment Software since 2004. In August 2024, the system will be upgraded with software improvements and improved functionality. As part of this upgrade, the software system formerly known as Momentum will now be referred to as interRAI Assessment Software or iAS.
Once the upgrade is complete, you can expect the following:
-
Changes to the assessment appearance and navigation
-
None of your assessment information will be lost but any saved drafts may be affected
Key Improvements and New Functionalities
-
Check-in-Check-out (CICO) is being retired as we introduce a new Mobile App.
-
Single-page application (SPA) is an application which operates on a single page, making the assessments flow better and be more responsive. Many people will find this more intuitive – the SPA format is quite popular and is what you will find on websites like Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.
- Moving from Version 9.3 to Version 10 of the Contact Assessment which includes both updated and new items.
