The Problem

Why dementia care delivery
breaks down

Dementia pathways suffer from delays at every stage — fragmented referrals, unsafe titration gaps, and impossible-to-trace clinical decisions across borders.

📄

Fragmented Referrals

Materials arrive via fax, scan, and email — incomplete, inconsistent, and buried in scanned paperwork. Specialists waste time chasing basic information before they can even begin a review.

Titration Delays

Safe dose changes require repeated data capture and timely review. In practice, information comes back late, in inconsistent formats, or without enough context for confident dose decisions.

🌐

Cross-Border Complexity

When specialists provide clinical plans across jurisdictions, local clinicians need a clear and legally bounded role. Without a system of record, accountability becomes dangerously blurred.

🔍

Weak Audit Trail

Difficult to demonstrate who decided what, when they decided it, and on which evidence base. This creates medico-legal risk and governance gaps across the care pathway.

The Solution

A structured pathway from
referral to monitoring

The platform turns specialist intent into an executable care pathway — without replacing clinical judgement.

1
Ingest referral material from digital and legacy sources
2
Convert to unified patient profile for specialist review
3
Manage prescribing, titration, and follow-up workflow
4
Preserve a defensible audit trail for every decision

What the platform is not

This is not a replacement for specialist clinical judgement, nor an autonomous diagnostic or prescribing system.

  • Reduces administrative friction across care teams
  • Improves completeness of clinical information at every stage
  • Standardises the dosing workflow with configurable safety rules
  • Creates workflow discipline — not just digitised paperwork
  • Delivers operational visibility for specialists and compliance teams
Clinical Operating Model

Asymmetric authority,
distributed delivery

UK specialists hold diagnostic and treatment authority. Local clinicians execute and contribute structured data. Caregivers provide observations between formal reviews.

👨‍⚕️

UK Dementia Specialist

Clinical Authority
  • Diagnoses and prescribes
  • Sets titration protocol
  • Reviews all monitoring data
  • Makes all treatment decisions
🩺

Local Partner Clinician

In-Country Executor
  • Collects structured data
  • Confirms weight and vitals
  • Reports side effects
  • Implements authorised plans
🤝

Caregiver / Primary Care

Observation Contributor
  • Submits behavioural observations
  • Reports between formal reviews
  • Responds to structured prompts
  • Supports monitoring cadence
Patient Journey

Four-phase clinical pathway

From initial referral through to long-term monitoring, every step is structured, tracked, and auditable.

1

Intake & Screening

Referral material ingested from fax, upload, or email. System extracts key fields, flags uncertainty, and presents a normalised summary to the specialist.

2

Diagnosis & Initiation

UK specialist reviews the case, records diagnosis, and establishes the initial treatment protocol. Dose logic is checked against configured safety rules.

3

Titration Management

Specialist sets the titration schedule. Local clinicians and caregivers receive prompts to submit weight, symptoms, and side effect observations.

4

Monitoring & Adjustment

Scheduled monitoring period. Specialist reviews observations, maintains or modifies the treatment plan. All decisions remain on the clinical timeline.

Core Platform Capabilities

Eight integrated capabilities

Intake, decision support, titration, monitoring — unified in a single clinically governed platform.

🔎

Referral Ingestion & OCR

Convert faxed or scanned clinical material into structured data fields.

📋

Unified Case View

History, protocol, timeline, and source artefacts in one place.

⚕️

Protocol Builder

Define diagnosis, medication, starting dose, frequency, and titration plan.

💊

Dose Calculation

Configurable rules with weight-based thresholds and out-of-range alerts.

🔔

Tasking & Reminders

Prompt caregivers and clinicians for required submissions at the right time.

Structured Check-Ins

Capture weight, behaviour, side effects, and context in a consistent format.

🛡️

Decision Logging

Record decisions, rationale, timing, and actor identity in a defensible timeline.

📤

Exportable Summaries

Generate case summaries for local records, governance, or onward communication.

Clinical Safety & Decision Support

Conservative by design

Decision support highlights missing data and unsafe ranges but never generates autonomous clinical recommendations — a critical distinction under UK healthcare law.

⚕️

Dosing Engine

  • Configurable rules by drug and protocol
  • Weight-based thresholds and min/max dose constraints
  • Prompts when weight or observations are missing before progression
  • Safety alerts surfaced — never autonomous recommendations
⚠️

Exception Handling

  • Worsening agitation or unexpected side effects
  • Significant weight change during titration
  • Non-response during monitoring period
  • Missing required measure at titration checkpoint
🏛️

UK Regulatory Context

The platform is designed to align with NHS information governance expectations and UK medico-legal standards. Decision support highlights risks but preserves the specialist as the sole clinical decision-maker — a distinction that matters operationally and legally.

Compliance & Information Governance

Built for high-governance
healthcare environments

Every action traceable. Every decision defensible. Every data flow justified.

🔒

Access Control

Role-based permissions encoded into the platform. Every action traceable to a named user with documented access policies.

🏥

NHS IG Alignment

Designed around NHS information governance expectations with strong security controls and documented access policies.

🌍

Cross-Border Clarity

Explicit consent records, residency logic, and defensible rationale for international data flows across the UK, US, and Caribbean.

📜

Jurisdictional Audit

Every clinical decision preserves legal context — UK specialist decisions executed locally are fully traceable to user, time, and evidence set.

Implementation Roadmap

Phase 1: Prove the operational loop

The MVP privileges workflow reliability over feature breadth. The test: can the specialist safely run real cases with less friction than today?

MVP — Phase 1

Core Operational Loop

  • Referral intake and OCR processing
  • Specialist review and protocol creation
  • Titration scheduling and monitoring cadence
  • Structured caregiver / local clinician check-ins
  • Specialist decision logging and audit trail
Future Phases

Expansion Capabilities

  • Video consultation integration
  • E-prescribing workflows
  • Deep EHR / GP system integration
  • Advanced analytics and population dashboards
  • Standards-based API interoperability layer

"The right question is not how many features can be launched, but whether the specialist can confidently run real cases through the platform with less friction than today."

Phase 1 Success Criteria

Measurable targets

Five outcome measures designed to validate the operational model before scaling.
