Reply-gap exposure

How many GLP-1 patients go quiet before titration day?

When replies stop mid-month, the no-show is often the first signal staff see. Adjust panel size and churn assumptions below. Patient counts are estimates, not a Helose guarantee.

Problem

GLP-1 patients go quiet between monthly visits.

Symptoms show up mid-cycle. Staff only catch it on titration day.

  • Nausea after a dose step with no check-in until the next appointment
  • Patients stop texting back by week three; the no-show is the first signal staff see
  • Third-party coaching apps use unfamiliar numbers. Patients ignore them and still call your front desk

Pre-visit brief

Open titration day with the month on one screen.

Before the monthly slot: nausea scores over the cycle, when replies stopped, and optional weight logs. What to ask first, not a coordinator scrolling texts.

  • Nausea 4 → 6 since last titration, logged Tue after injection week
  • Five-day reply gap: patient answered NAUSEA after Saturday outreach
  • Weight log 3 of 4 weeks; dose changes queued for the visit only
Pre-visit briefing Dana R. · Monthly follow-up · Thu 10 AM · titration visit

Since the last visit

  • Care plan (Mar 1): Semaglutide titration · injection-week nausea scale · optional weight log

  • Nausea trend: 4/10 at last titration → 6/10 Tue after injection week

  • Reply gap: Five days silent · answered NAUSEA after Sat outreach

  • Weight log: 3 of 4 requested weeks submitted

  • Visit priority: Symptom trajectory and titration, not disengagement

Recommended focus

  • Review nausea trend since last dose step: 6/10 logged injection week

  • Confirm hydration and meal timing before any dose change

  • Titration decision in the visit only, not by text

Integrations

Wearable recovery trends beside GLP-1 check-in replies.

Oura, WHOOP, Apple Health, and CGM data on the same brief as nausea scores and weight logs—what changed between monthly visits, not just what is in the chart.

  • Patient wearables & health data

    • Sleep, HRV, and recovery trends dated to injection week
    • Optional CGM and activity context beside reply-gap outreach
    • Deviation-from-baseline without asking patients to open another app
  • Chart & practice stack

    • Brief opens beside your EHR; chart remains the system of record
    • Titration, prior auth, and dose changes stay out of SMS
    • Licensed clinician approves outbound templates before they go live

For your team

Patients who stop replying get a text before the no-show.

  • 4 weeks between visits

    Injection-week scales and reply-gap outreach on the cadence you set at the monthly visit.

  • Fewer silent no-shows

    When patients stop replying, coordinators see it on the brief, not when the slot is empty.

  • 90 sec before titration day

    Nausea trend, reply gaps, and weight logs in one summary. Dose changes only in the room.
