Drop-off-window cadence coach (GLP-1)
GLP-1 patients don't quit on a random day — they quit in predictable windows, and the coach shows up just before each one.
What it does
By the time a patient finally messages about nausea, they have usually already decided to quit. GLP-1 programs lose patients in a handful of mapped windows: the first days after the first injection, the early side-effect weeks, the mid-course motivation dip, the plateau where the scale stops moving, and the silent stretch before renewal where nobody cancels — they just don't come back. The agent pins proactive coaching touchpoints to each of those windows, reaches the patients who have gone quiet, and feeds every reply back into the program's existing in-app coach, so the relationship never goes cold in the exact weeks it matters most.
How it works
- 1Trigger. the patient's program calendar opens a known drop-off window (first-injection check-in, side-effect weeks, plateau, pre-renewal), or a risk signal fires early — logged side effects, a stalled weight trend, check-ins gone quiet.
- 2Decision. the agent reads the patient's memory — titration stage, what they've already discussed with the coach, prior touches, channel consent — and picks the right move for this window: a side-effect check-in, a "this is normal" plateau reframe, or a gentle re-open. A judge reviews every unprompted message before it goes out.
- 3Action. a short coaching touch lands on the patient's channel (push, SMS, WhatsApp, or email — all sent through channels the program keeps owning), written to pull them back into the in-app coach conversation rather than replace it.
- 4Follow-through. replies continue inside the coach chat; red-flag answers escalate to the clinical team; if the patient re-engages on their own or cancels, queued touches are cancelled automatically. Persistence is measured against a holdout group, so the lift is proven, not asserted.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
- Program scheduling system · opens the drop-off-window touchpoint and queues the timed coaching touch
- Patient record or CRM · reads program start date, dose stage, conversation history, and channel consent
- In-app coach chat · receives the patient back into the existing coach conversation, where replies continue
- Messaging channel (push, SMS, WhatsApp, email) · sends the window touch through channels the program keeps owning
- Clinical escalation path · routes red-flag answers to the clinical team
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
program timeline events (first_injection_logged, titration step changes, renewal date), side-effect logs, weight-tracking entries, engagement-decay / gone-quiet detection
Data
program start date and dose stage, check-in and conversation history, coach-chat memory, channel consent state
Guardrails
judge review on every unprompted message; clinical red-flags always escalate to a human; approved coaching content only, never new medical advice; frequency caps per patient; suppression on cancellation or an open clinical issue; holdout measurement of persistence
Metrics it moves
- adherenceup, by catching side-effect and plateau wobbles before the patient stops dosing
- churndown, by converting the silent pre-renewal window into a conversation instead of a lapse
- ltvup, as each retained program month compounds on already-paid acquisition cost
