Vaginal-estrogen adherence-decay nudge
She feels better, so she quietly stops the twice-weekly dose — and the symptoms her therapy was holding back come straight back. The agent re-ups her before the relapse, not after.
What it does
Maintenance vaginal-estrogen therapy only works while it is being used: the relief depends on keeping the restored tissue environment, so the benefit lapses the moment a patient lets the twice-weekly schedule slide, and the symptoms return weeks later. The trap is that feeling better is exactly what makes someone stop — there is no supply emergency and no complaint ticket, just a quiet adherence decay that the program never sees until the patient has relapsed and churned. The agent watches the cadence and the refill clock for that drift, and sends a "this keeps working only while you keep using it" re-up tied to the next refill, before the gap turns into a relapse. It frames the why, never adjusts the regimen, and routes any symptom or medical question to the care team.
How it works
- 1Trigger. an adherence-decay signal on a maintenance vaginal-estrogen patient — the twice-weekly cadence slipping or a refill going unactioned past its due window, read from logged use and the pharmacy clock.
- 2Decision. the agent reads the pattern as a feel-better-so-I-stop drift rather than a one-off late reorder, checks memory and consent, and picks a low-friction channel for a maintenance nudge.
- 3Action. it sends the continuous-use reframe — relief lasts only while the schedule holds — with the refill prepared so the patient just confirms; payment runs through the client's secure hand-off.
- 4Follow-through. a confirmed re-up writes back to the pharmacy and memory; if the patient refills on their own first, the queued nudge is cancelled; any symptom or medical question routes to the care team rather than being answered in the flow.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
- App backend · detect the cadence drift and adherence-decay pattern from logged use
- Pharmacy system · read refill status and prepare the next refill for one-tap confirmation, write back the confirmed re-up
- Messaging channel · send the continuous-use reframe by push, SMS, in-app, or email
- Payment provider · run the refill payment through the client's hosted secure checkout
- Memory store · read regimen, consent, and prior drift; write back the touch and outcome
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
twice-weekly use logs, refill-due and missed-refill dates, self-serve refills for cancellation
Data
the continuous-use requirement for the therapy, regimen and refill history, persistent patient memory, channel consent
Guardrails
outreach bounded to adherence and refill topics; no regimen change and no symptom advice in the flow; care-team routing for any medical question; judge gating on every unprompted message; frequency caps and one-follow-up rule; stale-outreach cancellation on self-serve refills; secure payment hand-off
Metrics it moves
- adherenceup, by closing the cadence gap before the feel-better drift becomes a stop
- churndown, as a patient kept on a working maintenance therapy has no symptom relapse to quit over
- renewal-rateup, because the refill habit, once protected, carries the maintenance subscription forward
