Amadeo Labs — Spanish Town, Jamaica

Karen AI — Smart Patient Follow-Up

Every test tells a story. Karen makes sure no patient's story goes unfinished.

Most Labs Leave Money on the Table

The typical diagnostic lab processes a blood test, delivers results, and never speaks to that patient again. Karen changes that.

Amadeo Labs Already Has the Edge

You already offer AI-powered result explanations that turn confusing bloodwork into plain-English health insights. That is what gets patients in the door a second time.

Karen AI is the follow-up engine that takes it further — turning a single blood test into an ongoing health partnership. She remembers every patient, knows when they are due for retesting, and reaches out at exactly the right moment with exactly the right message.

8 Stages, Zero Gaps

Karen is present at every stage of the patient experience — from the moment they find Amadeo Labs to their annual screening years later.

1

Discovery

Patient finds Amadeo Labs through website search, doctor referral, or walk-in traffic.

Karen: Website chat widget greets visitors, answers questions about available tests, pricing, and hours.
2

Inquiry

Patient asks about specific tests, pricing, preparation requirements, and availability.

Karen: Provides instant answers, explains test panels, and clarifies fasting requirements — 24/7, even when the lab is closed.
3

Booking

Patient schedules an appointment through the website, by phone, or decides to walk in.

Karen: Captures contact details, confirms appointment, and begins the adaptive pre-visit sequence.
4

Pre-Visit Prep

Patient needs to know: Do I fast? What time? What should I bring? Where do I park?

Karen: Sends test-specific preparation instructions at the right intervals, with calculated fasting times and location details.
5

The Visit

Blood draw and sample collection at the lab.

Karen: Stays quiet during the visit. No unnecessary messages. Respects the patient's time.
6

Results Delivery

Test results are processed and delivered with plain-English AI explanations via the patient portal.

Karen: Sends portal notification. Follows up based on result severity — normal, borderline, or critical. Each tier has its own protocol.
7

Follow-Up Care

Abnormal or borderline results need attention — lifestyle changes, consultations, or retesting.

Karen: Proactively checks in, offers wellness tips, and can schedule a consultation with Dr. Rockhead for patients who need it.
8

Health Monitoring

Regular screening reminders based on the patient's health profile and medical guidelines.

Karen: Remembers every patient's test history. Sends timely reminders for annual screenings, condition-specific retests, and wellness check-ups.

7-Touch Nurture Sequence

When someone asks about lab tests but does not book, Karen starts a gentle, educational sequence that turns curiosity into action.

Most people who inquire about blood work fully intend to get tested — they just get busy. Karen's job is to stay helpful, never pushy. Each touch provides real value: health education, myth-busting, and easy next steps.

Touch 1
2–4 hours
The Warm Rescue
"Hey! I wanted to make sure you got everything you needed about our blood testing services. Did you know we offer same-day results for most panels? Would you like me to check availability?"
Touch 2
Next day
Health Education
"Quick health tip: The CDC recommends adults get a comprehensive metabolic panel annually. It catches 80% of common health issues before symptoms appear. Our full wellness panel covers all of this."
Touch 3
Day 3
Objection Destroyer
"Many people put off blood work because they're worried about needles or fasting. Here's the truth: our draws take under 5 minutes, and not all tests require fasting. It's much easier than you think."
Touch 4
Day 5
The Insight
"Did you know? Early detection through routine blood work can catch diabetes, thyroid issues, and cholesterol problems years before symptoms show up. A simple test today could save you years of treatment later."
Touch 5
Day 7
Soft Offer
"We have openings this week for walk-in blood work — no appointment needed for basic panels. If you prefer a scheduled time, I can book that for you too. Whatever works best."
Touch 6
Day 10
Social Proof
"One of our patients recently told us: 'I was putting off blood work for years. Amadeo Labs made it so easy — in and out in 20 minutes, and the AI explanation of my results was incredible. I finally understand my health.'"
Touch 7
Day 14
Value Check-In
"Just wanted to leave you with this: your health is worth 20 minutes of your time. Whenever you're ready, we're here. Walk-ins welcome, or book anytime. Take care of yourself."

Adaptive Timing, Test-Specific Prep

Different tests need different preparation. Karen knows the difference and sends the right instructions at the right time.

Preparation by Test Type

No fasting

CBC / Basic Panel

No special preparation needed. Just come in during operating hours. Water is fine anytime.

Fasting required

Lipid Panel / Glucose

Fast for 8–12 hours before your draw. Water is fine. Take your regular medications unless told otherwise.

Morning draw

Hormone Panel

Morning draw recommended — cortisol and many hormones peak in the AM, giving the most accurate readings.

No special prep

Drug Screen

No preparation needed. Arrive at your scheduled time with photo ID.

Adaptive Timing Tiers

Karen adjusts the number and timing of messages based on how far out the appointment is booked.

Not all results are equal. Karen's response adapts to the clinical significance of each patient's bloodwork.

Condition-Specific Retest Reminders

Karen does not send generic reminders. She follows medical guidelines and each patient's specific history to time every follow-up perfectly.

Condition Retest Interval Reminder Timing Notes
Diabetes (A1C) 3 months 2.5 months Track glucose management over time
Thyroid (TSH) 6 months 5.5 months Monitor medication effectiveness
Cholesterol (borderline) 6 months 5.5 months Track lifestyle changes and statin response

General wellness 12 months 11 months Annual comprehensive panel
STI screening 3–12 months Based on risk Personalized to patient risk factors

Example: Annual Screening Reminder

"Hi Sarah! It's almost been a year since your last health screening at Amadeo Labs. Your comprehensive metabolic panel is recommended annually for ongoing health monitoring. Last time, your results were all within normal range — let's keep it that way. Would you like to schedule your annual check? Walk-ins are also welcome."

Privacy, Safety, Always

Karen follows strict protocols to protect patient privacy and ensure clinical safety at every touchpoint.

Never Discuss Results in Chat

Specific test values and diagnoses are never shared through chat, SMS, or email. Always direct patients to the secure portal.

Critical Results = Phone Call

Results that require immediate medical attention are delivered by phone only. Never by text, chat, or automated message.

Exact Fasting Times

Fasting instructions always include the calculated time to stop eating, based on appointment time. Never vague.

Never Diagnose

Karen explains what values mean in plain English but never provides a diagnosis. Always: "discuss with your doctor" or "schedule a consultation."

Portal for All Results

All test results live on the secure patient portal. Chat and email only notify — they never contain actual result data.

Respect Quiet Periods

No messages during unsociable hours. No message stacking. If a patient does not respond, Karen backs off gracefully.

From One-Time Tests to Lifelong Patients

Karen transforms the economics of a diagnostic lab by making every patient relationship compound over time.

Returning Patients

Turn one-time testers into patients who come back annually — or more often for condition monitoring.

Early Intervention

Catch borderline patients before they become critical. Proactive follow-ups save lives and reduce healthcare costs.

Growing Health Database

Every patient interaction enriches the health monitoring database — making future follow-ups smarter and more personalized.

Compounding Revenue

Each returning patient means 1–3 tests per year. The patient base compounds while acquisition costs drop over time.

A Note About Channels

Currently, Amadeo Labs has website chat as its only AI channel. The moment Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp accounts are connected, Karen will follow up on those channels too. The backend is ready — we just need the account details.
