Quarterly-retest reminder and re-engagement loop
The retest is the whole membership — it is the lab draw that earns the next consult and proves the program is working. The agent makes sure the window does not slip by quietly.
What it does
On a hormone or longevity membership the recurring retest is the loop the whole program turns on: a blood draw every quarter feeds the consult that refines the plan and justifies the renewal. When that window slips, nothing visibly breaks, so nobody notices — the patient keeps the subscription but stops generating the data, the consult has nothing to act on, and a few quiet months later they cancel a membership that stopped meaning anything. The agent treats the retest date as the heartbeat: it fires the booking nudge when the window opens, chases the patient who lets it drift, and routes a completed draw into the clinician consult so the loop closes instead of fading.
How it works
- 1Trigger. a time signal that a patient's quarterly retest window has opened on the membership calendar, or a behavioral signal that the window is closing with no kit ordered and no draw booked.
- 2Decision. the agent reads memory for the last retest date, whether an at-home kit or a phlebotomy slot is the patient's usual route, and engagement state, then decides between a first booking nudge, a softer chase for a slipping window, or a re-engagement reach for someone who has gone quiet across a cycle.
- 3Action. it sends the retest nudge on the channel the patient answers — order the at-home kit or book the draw, in one tap — and frames it as the step that unlocks the next consult, not as admin.
- 4Follow-through. a completed draw and returned results write back to memory and open the clinician consult; the agent never reads the values itself. If the patient already booked, the queued chase is cancelled before it fires; a window that lapses past the limit, or a patient silent across a full cycle, escalates to the care team as a retention risk. Lift is measured against a holdout.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
retest_window_open time signal from the membership / scheduling system on the patient's quarterly cadence, or a window_closing behavioral signal with no kit ordered or draw booked.- Scheduling system · read the retest cadence and window, book or hold a phlebotomy slot.
- Lab system · order the at-home kit, track sample return, and receive completed results.
- Patient memory store · read last retest date, preferred route, and engagement state; write back completed draws and re-engagement state.
- Messaging channel · send the booking nudge, the slipping-window chase, and the re-engagement reach on push, email, SMS, or in-app.
- Clinician consult queue · open the consult once results return; the agent surfaces, it does not interpret.
- Care-team escalation path · flag a lapsed window or a cross-cycle silent patient as a retention risk.
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
the quarterly retest-window-open event, the window-closing event, kit-ordered and sample-returned events, patient-initiated bookings for cancellation.
Data
retest cadence and last draw date, preferred kit-versus-phlebotomy route, membership and renewal state, engagement history, patient memory, channel consent.
Guardrails
the agent never interprets a lab value or advises on a dose — results route to the clinician; judge gating on every send; frequency caps; stale-chase cancellation when the patient self-books; holdout measurement.
Metrics it moves
- renewal-rateup, because a membership that keeps completing its retest keeps producing the data and the consult that make renewal worth it.
- adherenceup, the recurring draw that the whole protocol depends on actually happens on cadence instead of drifting.
- ltvup, by catching the silent retest lapse that precedes a quiet cancellation and re-engaging the patient before they go.
