Bariatric orbit solutions

More qualified patients reaching surgery, and stronger outcomes after it

Guided digital support tailored to each pathway and to your program's requirements, carried from the first seminar through long-term follow-up, so every candidate arrives ready and stays on plan.

A trusted digital guide your patients keep, from seminar through year one and beyond.

Your program in your surgeons' and dietitians' own words, delivered when each instruction actually matters. Alongside the seminar and the follow-up visit, an orbit adds a consumer-grade digital mentor: engaging video, email, and text outreach that keeps patients prepared, motivated, and on plan between appointments.

Built to your program's protocols before launch. Nothing added to your team's day.

One orbit, issued once, working for three audiences at the same time.

For the patient

They know what to do

A clear understanding of the procedure, the requirements, and who is caring for them

Every pre-op requirement and appointment, sequenced instead of handed over at once

Portions, protein, hydration, and supplements, written for a kitchen rather than a chart

Which symptoms mean call us, and which mean go to the ED

For your team

Nothing added to the day

Ordered from the workflow you already run, no new FTEs

Fewer calls asking what the seminar already covered

Your program and your brand, not a generic weight-loss app

We build and maintain the content, including protocol updates

For the program

You can finally see it

Who opened their orbit and who never did, by patient

Requirement progress and check-ins routed back before the next visit

Conversion from seminar to surgery, and follow-up attendance by cohort

Optional: validated measures and outcome reporting scored automatically

How to begin

Start with one, add the rest

Most programs start with surgical support, then add the pre-op and outreach versions.

Surgical support. Sleeve, bypass, and revision, from decision through recovery.

Pre-op requirements. The months of visits, testing, and insurance steps before surgery.

Post-op nutrition and habits. Stage-by-stage eating, activity, and supplement guidance.

Seminar and outreach. The information session that turns interest into a consult.

A patient’s orbit can evolve as their journey needs change

One orbit supports the full journey, adapting as needs change

The same orbit advances through three versions on its own, with no new app or login.

AcquisitionBefore they are a patient

Seminar and outreach that helps people choose your program, plus who qualifies and what the process involves.

Pre-op and procedure supportRequirements through surgery week

Every required visit and test, insurance steps, pre-op diet, and day-of instructions, sequenced week by week.

Year one with PROMsRecovery and beyond

Stage-by-stage nutrition, activity, supplements, follow-up prompts, and validated measures collected on schedule.

How it deploys

Issued from the workflow you already run

From the CareOrbit app, a scheduled flat file from any EHR, a patient list, a QR code, or a text message.

No new FTEs. Nothing added to anyone's day.

White-label. Your brand, your voice.

Live in a quarter. From kickoff to first patient.

The understanding gap

The six months before surgery, and the years after.

A bariatric program is a long qualification process followed by a lifetime of behavior change. Both happen mostly at home. The operation itself is the shortest part of the journey and the only part you fully control. That is the understanding gap, and the figures below are what it costs.

What the gap costs

None of this is decided in your building. Each one turns on whether a patient met the pre-op requirements, kept up the protein and hydration, and came back for follow-up.

6+ months

Qualification process

Visits, letters, and requirements before an operation is even scheduled.

Many

Never reach surgery

Candidates start the qualification process and quietly disappear before a date is set. [Placeholder: your program's own attrition rate.]

Lifelong

Supplement and follow-up needs

The part of the journey with the least clinical contact.

Every meal

Managed at home

Portions, hydration, protein, and supplements, all outside your building.

Measurable ROI

How an orbit provides value.

Every orbit is built based on your target clinical and financial outcomes including revenue to protect, costs to lower, opportunities to expand and staff resources to support.

Lower pre-operative attrition

The single largest revenue leak in a bariatric program, and almost entirely an engagement problem.

Fewer readmissions and ED visits

Dehydration and nutrition complications are the most common reasons, and the most preventable.

Higher supplement adherence

Deficiencies show up years later as complications and revisions.

Better long-term follow-up attendance

Follow-up is where weight regain is caught, and where most programs lose contact.

Fewer inbound calls per candidate

Every repeat call is staff time spent re-explaining what was already covered.

Faster insurance qualification

A candidate who finishes the requirements sooner reaches surgery sooner.

Stronger referral and review volume

A guided journey is the cheapest patient acquisition a bariatric program has.

A visible program differentiator

A branded bariatric experience is something few competing programs can show.

Bariatric care journeys currently supported.

Support your bariatric program with orbit versions for patients and families. Bariatric surgery is a full-focus orbit inside the general surgery bundle, and the rest of the program library is being confirmed with the service line.

Clinical evidence

The trial behind the platform.

The platform's controlled trial was run in surgical oncology, not bariatrics. We show it as measured and let you judge the transfer.

Controlled clinical trialSiteman Cancer Center, Washington University School of Medicine

Patients arrived better prepared, called less, and came back less

A controlled trial in hepatobiliary surgical oncology compared an orbit against usual care across the same shape of pathway a bariatric episode follows: requirements and prep, the operation, discharge instructions, and the calls in between. The mechanism is comprehension. Applying these percentages to a bariatric population is a modeled transfer, not a measured bariatric result.

Voices from the pathway

What it sounds like when care is guided

From live oncology deployments. Bariatric orbits are built on the same platform.

Patients see it as incredibly easy to understand and use. We use it to open up dialogues so much faster. Families just run with it!

20 minutes. Your bariatrics pain points, our platform.

No demo script, no obligation. We get introduced, hear which bariatrics moments are costing your team the most, and give you a brief look at the platform. Then we decide together whether it is worth a second conversation.
