Engage / Lifecycle
Between-doses lull check-in
The days between weekly injections are when GLP-1 patients quietly drift — a light touch keeps them in the loop before the silence turns into a cancellation.
What it does
A GLP-1 program lives on a weekly rhythm, but the patient does not. Between one injection and the next there is a stretch of days with nothing scheduled, no prompt, and on most programs no proactive contact at all — and that lull is exactly where engagement decays and patients slip away without ever messaging support. The agent fills the weekly trough with a single, supportive, low-pressure check-in: how you are feeling, a hydration reminder, a small win to log. It is a light habit-loop touch, deliberately not a coaching marathon and not a clinical conversation.
How it works
- 1Trigger. a time signal fires in the mid-week gap between the patient's last logged injection and the next scheduled dose, optionally sharpened by a behavioral signal that the patient has gone quiet in the app since their shot.
- 2Decision. the agent reads the patient's memory — where they are in the program, what they said at the last touch, whether a check-in already went out this cycle — and decides whether a nudge now actually helps; every unprompted message is judge-gated for tone and safety, with "stay silent" a valid outcome.
- 3Action. one short, warm message on the channel the patient answers — push, WhatsApp, in-app, or chat — inviting a feeling check, a hydration habit, or a quick win to log, opening into a live conversation rather than a dead-end banner.
- 4Follow-through. the reply writes back to memory so the next touch builds on it; if the patient opens the app on their own first, the queued nudge is cancelled; anything that surfaces a symptom or concern is handed to the side-effect and escalation rails, not answered here. Lift is measured against a holdout so the program sees the retention the check-in actually earns.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
between_dose_window time signal from the app backend, computed from the last logged injection and the next scheduled dose, optionally combined with a since-dose inactivity signal.- App backend · provides the injection schedule and last-dose timestamp that define the mid-week window.
- Patient memory store · reads program stage and the last check-in, writes the patient's reply back for the next touch.
- Messaging channel · sends the single light-touch nudge on push, WhatsApp, in-app, or chat and opens it into a live conversation.
- Knowledge base · supplies the safe hydration and habit prompts the nudge can offer.
- Clinician escalation queue · receives the conversation if the patient's reply surfaces a symptom or concern.
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
injection-schedule events, last-dose timestamps, since-dose engagement signals, the mid-week window event.
Data
program stage, injection cadence, the memory of prior check-ins and how they landed, per-channel consent and quiet-hours preferences.
Guardrails
judge gating on every unprompted message with "stay silent" allowed; one-per-cycle frequency caps and quiet hours; the touch is non-clinical and detect-to-escalate on any symptom; stale-nudge cancellation if the patient self-engages; holdout measurement so claimed retention is proven.
Metrics it moves
- adherenceup, because the patient stays connected through the weekly trough instead of drifting between doses.
- churndown, as the silent mid-week drop-off is the moment this touch is built to catch.
- dau-mauup, each check-in opens into a session rather than a swiped-away notification.
- ltvup, every retained week of a medication program compounds on already-spent acquisition cost.
