Hematocrit and blood-pressure safety-flag escalation (TRT)
Your patient's hematocrit just crossed the danger line on a routine TRT panel, and the system is about to send them their usual refill nudge. The agent catches the conflict, holds the refill, and puts the flag in front of the clinician first.
What it does
Testosterone therapy carries physiologic rails that a commercial cadence does not know about: hematocrit can climb into polycythemia range, blood pressure can spike, and the patient feels fine until they do not. The danger is that the refill engine keeps running on its schedule, so a patient whose latest panel just crossed a safety threshold gets a cheerful "time to reorder" while the red flag sits unread. The agent watches the TRT safety markers, and when a panel or a reported symptom crosses the rail it halts the refill nudge, surfaces the flag and the trend to the clinician, and gives the patient only bounded "your care team needs to review this first" language. It detects and holds; it never adjusts a dose, clears the patient, or tells them what the number means.
How it works
- 1Trigger. a TRT panel posts a hematocrit or related marker over the safety rail (from the lab system), or a patient reports a symptom such as recurring headaches or a blood-pressure spike on a shipped home cuff.
- 2Decision. the agent checks the marker or reported reading against the program's polycythemia and blood-pressure thresholds and the patient's trend, and recognizes the safety signal against any refill or reorder that is queued or due.
- 3Action. the queued refill nudge is held, the flag and the trend are surfaced to the clinician for review, and the patient receives only bounded language — that the care team must review before anything continues — with no value interpreted and no reorder offered.
- 4Follow-through. the hold and the flag write back to the record for audit; the refill stays paused until the clinician clears it; an acutely high reading is surfaced for priority review rather than a routine slot.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
lab_result_posted event carrying a hematocrit or related marker over the safety rail, or a patient-reported symptom or home blood-pressure reading crossing threshold- Lab system · read the posted marker and its reference range
- Wearable/device feed · ingest readings from the shipped home blood-pressure cuff
- Knowledge base · apply the program's polycythemia and blood-pressure safety thresholds
- Pharmacy / refill system · halt the queued refill nudge and hold reorder until a clinician clears it
- Clinician escalation queue · surface the flag, the reading, and the trend for review
- Messaging channel · give the patient only bounded "care team must review first" language, no value interpreted
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
lab_result_posted events with hematocrit and related markers, home blood-pressure readings from the shipped cuff, patient-reported symptoms, queued refill / reorder events
Data
the posted marker and reference range, the patient's marker trend, the program's polycythemia and blood-pressure thresholds, refill schedule and state, persistent memory, consent state
Guardrails
clinical-safety policy class — the agent detects and halts but never adjusts a dose, clears the patient, or interprets a value; the refill stays paused until a clinician clears it; bounded patient-facing language only with emergency-symptom guidance; judge gating on every message; full audit trail of every halt and flag
Metrics it moves
- safe-escalation-rateup, as a panel or reading over the safety rail reliably reaches a clinician instead of being overtaken by an automated reorder
- time-to-resolutiondown, because the flag is surfaced the moment a marker crosses rather than waiting to be noticed at the next visit
- adherenceup over the program, since catching a safety signal early keeps the patient safely on therapy instead of a preventable adverse event ending it
