Stage 7 · After the cycle
Patients with stored eggs and embryos come back to use them.
- The Full Tank. Eggs and embryos stored, patient gone quiet.
Eggs and embryos sit in your tanks for years while the patient goes quiet.
GrowthOS keeps a record of what each patient has stored, sends renewal and anniversary check-ins, pauses after a loss, and gives each patient a private link to tell you what's next.
“I have embryos frozen. I'm not ready to decide.”
WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE
Every stored specimen has an owner, a renewal date, and a patient who heard from the clinic this year.
HOW GROWTHOS CLOSES IT
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 runs automatically (4)
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.
