Stabilize GLP-1 Patients During Early Treatment

Early-Treatment Stabilization Infrastructure for GLP-1 Clinics

8-Week Stabilization Pilot for Owner-Led GLP-1 Clinics

✓ No EMR integration required

✓ No workflow disruption for clinic teams

✓ No Protected Health Information (PHI) collected during the pilot

Because no PHI is collected, a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is not required during pilot participation.

Structured retention validation for GLP-1 programs.

Limited to 6 owner-led GLP-1 clinics

Clinical Authority Remains Fully With Your Practice

RetentionHealth does not alter treatment protocols, prescribe medications, or make clinical recommendations.

All medical decisions remain entirely under the authority of the treating physician and clinic.

The platform operates as operational stabilization infrastructure, providing behavioral reinforcement tools and retention analytics during the early treatment phase.

Why RetentionHealth Was Built

Across GLP-1 clinics, one pattern continues to appear during the first weeks of treatment.

Patients often experience appetite changes, digestive shifts, and uncertainty about what is normal during dose escalation.

These moments typically happen between appointments, where clinics have limited visibility into how patients are actually stabilizing.

As GLP-1 programs grow, this early treatment window increasingly becomes an operational challenge:

  • • increased patient support requests
  • • inconsistent engagement between visits
  • • early treatment discontinuation

RetentionHealth was designed to introduce a structured stabilization layer during this ramp-up phase, allowing clinics to observe engagement patterns and quantify retention impact without disrupting their existing workflow.

The pilot program exists to measure whether this structured support improves early-treatment stability in real clinical environments.

The Early-Treatment Stability Problem

GLP-1 therapies now serve 15M+ patients in the United States, delivered through tens of thousands of medical weight-loss and longevity clinics across the United States.

While demand continues to grow, many clinics are discovering a consistent operational challenge during the first weeks of treatment.

During this ramp-up period, patients often experience:

  • • appetite and digestion changes
  • • uncertainty about expected side effects
  • • inconsistent engagement between visits

For clinics, this early phase can become a visibility gap — where patient stability is unclear until the next appointment.

When instability goes unnoticed, clinics may see:

  • • increased support requests
  • • inconsistent adherence
  • • premature treatment discontinuation

The First 60 Days Determine Program Stability

Most GLP-1 programs experience the highest patient drop-off during the first 8 weeks of treatment.

During this ramp-up phase, clinics commonly experience several operational challenges.

Revenue Volatility

Patient drop-off early in treatment creates unpredictable monthly recurring revenue (MRR).

Increased Support Load

Patients frequently contact clinics with questions about appetite changes, digestion shifts, and dose escalation.

Reactive Staff Workflows

Teams spend time responding to patient concerns individually rather than operating within a structured monitoring system.

Unpredictable Refill Timing

Early treatment instability can make medication refill patterns inconsistent, complicating inventory and cash flow planning.

Stopping early-phase churn has a disproportionately large impact on patient lifetime value.

Even Modest Retention Improvements Can Protect Significant Revenue

In GLP-1 programs, small changes in early-treatment retention can have a meaningful impact on clinic revenue.

Illustrative Example

Active GLP-1 patients120
Average monthly program fee$600
Baseline early-treatment drop-off30%

If stabilization monitoring reduces early drop-off by 10%, the clinic retains approximately:

12 additional patients

That represents roughly:

$7,200 in preserved monthly program revenue

or approximately

$86,400 in annualized patient value

Pilot Participation

Founder pilot rate:

$500 per month

Even modest retention improvements during the first weeks of treatment can significantly exceed the cost of pilot participation.

Note: This example is provided for illustration purposes only. Actual results will vary based on clinic size, program structure, and patient engagement patterns.

This Is Not Another Software System

It's Structured Stabilization Monitoring

The RetentionHealth pilot introduces a stabilization support layer that operates alongside your existing GLP-1 program.

Your clinic continues running its current workflow.
RetentionHealth simply measures how stabilization support affects early-treatment retention.

What RetentionHealth Does Not Do

RetentionHealth does not interfere with medical decision-making.

  • Prescribe medication
  • Diagnose conditions
  • Change dosing protocols
  • Replace your EMR
  • Collect or store Protected Health Information (PHI)

What the Pilot Does Measure

The pilot evaluates how structured stabilization monitoring affects patient engagement and retention.

RetentionHealth tracks:

  • engagement trends during early treatment
  • refill timing consistency
  • drop-off differences between supported and baseline groups
  • behavioral stabilization patterns during dose escalation

Clinics receive weekly executive summaries that compare reinforced patient groups with the clinic's existing workflow baseline.

Structured Retention Validation

All pilot results are measured against your current program baseline, allowing clinics to quantify the operational impact of early-treatment stabilization.

How the Pilot Works

The RetentionHealth pilot evaluates whether structured stabilization support improves early-treatment retention compared to your clinic's existing workflow.

1

Side-by-Side Patient Groups

During the pilot, clinics track two patient groups simultaneously.

Existing Workflow Group

Patients follow your clinic's normal onboarding and follow-up process.

Your current workflow continues unchanged.

Stabilization Group

Patients receive access to the RetentionHealth stabilization interface designed to support the early treatment ramp-up phase.

Access is delivered through a secure SMS link — no app download required.

The pilot compares outcomes between these two groups to measure the effect of structured stabilization support.

2

Weekly Program Metrics

Once per week, clinics submit a small set of program-level metrics.

Typical metrics include:

  • • engagement rate
  • • volatility events during ramp-up
  • • refill timing variance
  • • 60-day patient drop-off

Submission takes approximately 5 minutes per week.

No patient identifiers are submitted.
Clinics report simple aggregated counts only.

3

Monday Executive Summary

Each Monday, clinics receive a short executive summary that includes:

  • • side-by-side comparison of patient groups
  • • operational insights from the previous week
  • • stabilization trends during treatment ramp-up

This allows clinics to observe stabilization patterns as the pilot progresses.

4

Week 8 Validation Review

At the end of the pilot, RetentionHealth provides a structured validation review that quantifies:

  • • early-treatment drop-off reduction
  • • preserved patient revenue
  • • operational stability improvements

All results are measured against your clinic's existing workflow baseline.

What the 8-Week Pilot Looks Like

The pilot is intentionally lightweight.

One-time setup takes approximately 15 minutes.

After setup, most clinics spend less than 10 minutes per week participating.

Week 0 — Setup (≈15 minutes)

Clinics receive pilot onboarding access and demo credentials.

Patients are assigned to two groups using your existing workflow:

  • • Existing workflow group
  • • Stabilization group

No EMR integration required.
No workflow changes needed.

Weeks 1–2 — Treatment Ramp-Up

Patients begin their GLP-1 treatment ramp-up phase.

Patients in the stabilization group receive structured behavioral guidance through a secure SMS access link.

No app download required.

Weeks 3–6 — Stabilization Monitoring

Clinics submit a short weekly report (≈5 minutes) including program-level metrics such as:

  • • engagement trends
  • • refill timing patterns
  • • support load indicators
  • • early retention signals

No patient identifiers are submitted.
Clinics report simple aggregated counts only.

Week 7 — Data Consolidation

RetentionHealth compiles stabilization trends and cohort comparisons from the pilot period.

Week 8 — Validation Review

Clinics receive a structured executive summary including:

  • • retention comparison between groups
  • • estimated revenue preserved
  • • operational stability insights

Clinics then decide whether to continue into the full RetentionHealth platform.

Compliance by Design

The RetentionHealth pilot is intentionally structured to avoid handling Protected Health Information (PHI).

This allows clinics to participate without introducing additional regulatory overhead during the validation period.

During the Pilot

The system operates without accessing or storing patient identifiers.

  • No patient names are collected
  • No EMR integration occurs
  • No medical records are accessed
  • Clinics report only simple aggregated counts

Because the pilot does not involve Protected Health Information (PHI), a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is not required for pilot participation.

This design allows clinics to evaluate stabilization impact while minimizing compliance burden.

Production Platform

If the pilot validates measurable retention improvement, the full RetentionHealth platform will operate within a HIPAA-compliant infrastructure environment, including:

  • secure clinic environments
  • encrypted data handling
  • executed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)

Founder Pilot Program

Limited to the First 6 Clinics

The RetentionHealth pilot is intentionally limited to a small cohort of six owner-led clinics.

This allows close collaboration during the initial stabilization validation phase.

Once the founder cohort is filled, founder pricing will not be offered again.

Founder Participants Receive

Clinics participating in the initial cohort receive:

  • Lifetime founder pricing on the production platform
  • Priority onboarding if the platform moves into full deployment
  • Optional case study participation as early program leaders
  • Continued full physician oversight of all treatment decisions

RetentionHealth does not alter medical protocols or clinical authority.

Conversion After Validation

At the end of the 8-week pilot, if measurable stabilization improvements are observed, participating clinics may convert to the production platform under their Founder terms.

Cohort Capacity

The founder pilot cohort closes once 6 clinics are approved.

Ideal Clinic Profile

The founder pilot is designed for clinics that want to stabilize early-treatment retention in GLP-1 programs.

Participating clinics typically have:

  • 50+ active GLP-1 patients
  • Owner-led clinical leadership
  • Direct physician oversight of treatment protocols
  • Willingness to submit simple weekly program-level metrics
  • Interest in reducing early patient drop-off

The pilot is intentionally structured for independent clinics and is not designed for national franchise groups.

Platform Development

RetentionHealth is engineered and maintained by Dig Development, a software studio specializing in secure operational infrastructure, analytics systems, and platform architecture.

The system is designed to support clinic operations at scale, with a clear separation between pilot validation and the full production environment.

Architecture Approach

The pilot environment is intentionally structured to validate stabilization impact without handling Protected Health Information (PHI).

If the pilot demonstrates measurable retention improvements, the production platform will operate within a HIPAA-compliant infrastructure environment, including secure clinic environments and executed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).

This staged architecture allows clinics to evaluate stabilization impact before introducing regulated healthcare data workflows.
