Keep · Included in GrowthOSTurn the eggs and embryos in your tanks into patients who come back.
GrowthOS keeps in touch with every patient who has something stored, through renewal reminders, anniversary check-ins and a private link to decide what's next, and pauses on its own after a loss.
Keep is included in GrowthOS. It is not an add-on.
The leak · The Full Tank
Eggs and embryos sit in your tanks for years while the patient goes quiet.
What good looks like: Every stored specimen has an owner, a renewal date, and a patient who heard from the clinic this year.
52.5%
of US fresh IVF cycles that froze embryos never had a later frozen transfer.
Christianson et al., F&S Reports, 2020.
5.7%
of egg-freezing patients came back to use their eggs within 5 to 7 years.
Lee et al., Am J Obstet Gynecol, 2025.
39%
of patients with stored embryos report high conflict over what to do with them.

How Keep works
Keep records what each patient has stored, sends scheduled reminders on storage anniversaries and renewal dates, and gives patients a secure link to decide what comes next. Automated messages pause after a loss, and every touch is logged.
What each patient has with you
Eggs, embryos, sperm or tissue for fertility clinics, prepaid packages and memberships for other specialties: what each patient has, where it is kept and when it renews or expires. Imported, entered by hand, or added when an invoice is paid.
Storage reminders and check-ins
Sends scheduled reminders before storage renews or a package expires, and a check-in on the schedule you choose. Automated messages pause after a known loss until a person reviews.
A private link for every patient
Opened with a date of birth check, it shows what is being kept for the patient. One tap asks your team to talk about using it, and the request lands on the Requests tab.
Return reporting
See which patients with stored specimens came back.
Grief-aware by design
It stops when it should.
Keep pauses automatically after a known loss. Anniversary messages and renewal nudges stop, and the conversation is handed to a person on your team when it matters.
The research log
Every touch is logged, so you can measure who returns.

What Keep measures:
- Return for transfer
