Weight-stall plateau intervention coach
The scale has not moved in weeks and the patient has quietly concluded the medication has stopped working — the agent catches the flat line in the data and reframes it before they decide to quit.
What it does
A real weight plateau is one of the top reasons GLP-1 patients quit somewhere in the middle of their course, and the danger is that it reads to the patient as failure when it is normal biology. By the time someone says "it stopped working," they have usually watched a flat line on the scale for weeks and already half-decided to stop. Rather than wait for that message, the agent watches the logged weight trend itself: when the data goes flat for a sustained stretch it reframes the plateau as expected, coaches the levers that actually help here — protein, resistance training, an honest look at intake — and, if the stall persists, surfaces it to the care team to review dose and response. It coaches behavior and escalates; it never adjusts the dose itself.
How it works
- 1Trigger. the patient's logged weight stays flat for a sustained stretch of weeks — a data signal, not a calendar date — optionally alongside engagement that has started to slip.
- 2Decision. the agent confirms the stall against the patient's own trend and memory (titration stage, recent logging, what has already been tried), distinguishes a genuine multi-week plateau from normal day-to-day noise, and decides between a behavioral coaching touch and, for a persistent stall, a care-team surface. A judge reviews every unprompted message.
- 3Action. a supportive touch lands on a program-owned channel — the plateau-is-normal reframe plus one concrete lever (protein target, a resistance-training nudge, or an intake review) — written to re-open the coach conversation, not to lecture.
- 4Follow-through. replies continue in the coach chat; a stall that persists past the coaching window is surfaced to the care team to review dose and response, with the trend attached; outcomes write back to memory; queued touches cancel on self-re-engagement, and the lift is measured against a holdout.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
weight_stall_detected), optionally with engagement decay, sourced from the weight-tracking and program systems.- Weight-tracking / app backend · detect a sustained flat stretch against the patient's own trend and distinguish it from normal fluctuation
- Patient record / CRM · read titration stage, logging history, and what has already been tried
- Memory store · read coach-conversation history; write the plateau touch and outcome back for the next touch
- Messaging channel · send the judged reframe-plus-lever touch on a program-owned channel and re-open the coach chat
- Clinical escalation path · surface a persistent stall to the care team to review dose and response, with the trend attached
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
logged weight entries and trend, sustained-flat detection, engagement-decay detection, patient replies.
Data
weight history and trend, titration stage, coaching history, persistent memory, channel consent state.
Guardrails
the agent coaches behavior and escalates only — never adjusts or advises a dose; judge review on every unprompted message; clinical questions always route to a human; approved coaching content only; frequency caps; suppression on self-re-engagement; holdout measurement of save-rate.
Metrics it moves
- save-rateup, by catching the plateau in the data and reframing it before the patient decides to stop.
- adherenceup, by replacing the "it stopped working" conclusion with a concrete behavioral lever that keeps doses on schedule.
- churndown, by defending one of the top mid-course quit triggers with a signal-driven touch rather than a calendar guess.
