Model of care design experts

Model of care design sets the clinical pathways, workforce models and service delivery that let a health system run genome-based medicine from day one.

What our model of care design experts do

Model of care design at Triple Helix Science starts with the patient pathway: what a person presenting with age-related decline is screened for, which genome-based intervention follows, and what is reviewed at each return visit. The workforce model comes next, setting which decisions sit with specialist clinicians and which are held at primary care level. Then the facility specification, covering the laboratory, imaging and record-keeping capability a site must have on the day it opens. Pathways are written across the eight therapeutic areas the company researches, from metabolic health and neurodegeneration to oncology, and signed off by the health system that will operate them.

How they work

Model of care design experts spend most of their judgement at the points where pathways cross. Because Triple Helix Science treats ageing as systemic, a patient entering through metabolic health is also measured on cognitive and neuromuscular function, and the model has to name who reviews those results and on what interval rather than leaving them to separate services. The therapeutic protocols are written inside the company and kept proprietary, so a pathway and the treatment it carries are drawn up together instead of a delivery model being fitted around a licensed-in therapy after the fact.

When to bring them in

Model of care design experts are needed once a government or sovereign health system has committed to delivering genetic medicine as standard care and has to decide how. The usual triggers are a facility with an opening date and no agreed pathway, an ageing population pushing chronic disease demand past what reactive treatment absorbs, or a protocol nearing clinical delivery with no workforce model behind it. Triple Helix Science reports a Phase 1 human trial in which dementia progression was reversed, and findings of that kind need a defined route to patients before they reach population scale. The work is commissioned by institutions, not individuals.

Preventative care and emerging health systems

"Healthcare is shifting from treating illness to preventing it, and that will transform patient outcomes and health systems alike. The biggest opportunity lies with governments in emerging economies building from scratch. Free of legacy infrastructure, they can deliver next-generation care at scale or become international hubs for treatment."

Questions about model of care design experts

The questions we get asked most about model of care design, answered plainly.

What does a model of care design expert do?
A model of care design expert sets out how a health system delivers care: the clinical pathway a patient moves through, the workforce model behind it, and the service delivery arrangements a facility needs before it opens. At Triple Helix Science, that work covers genetic and regenerative therapies, so pathways are written for predictive, genome-based intervention rather than reactive symptom management.
What is involved in a model of care design project?
Model of care design begins with what the health system intends to deliver and to whom, then fixes the pathway, the workforce model and the delivery setting around that. Triple Helix Science works across eight therapeutic areas, from neurodegeneration and regenerative medicine through to oncology, and designs for institutions rather than individuals, so each model has to hold at population scale.
How do you know whether a model of care is working?
A model of care is judged on whether the service runs as built from the day it opens, and on what it changes for patients over the years that follow. Triple Helix Science measures outcomes in healthspan, meaning years lived in good physical and cognitive health, rather than lifespan alone. Because decline in one organ system accelerates decline in others, measurement covers cellular energy, brain health and muscle function together.
Is model of care design the same as writing clinical protocols?
A clinical protocol specifies the intervention itself, while model of care design specifies how an entire health system delivers that intervention, including referral routes, workforce, setting and follow-up. The two are not interchangeable. Triple Helix Science develops proprietary, IP-protected therapeutic protocols and also designs the models that allow sovereign health systems to run them at national scale.
When does a health system need a model of care design expert?
A model of care design expert is needed when a system is standing up a new facility, transforming an existing service, or introducing genetic and regenerative therapies into a system built around reactive symptom management. It is not the route for an individual seeking treatment. Triple Helix Science partners with governments, sovereign health systems, research universities, sovereign wealth funds and enterprise pharmaceutical organisations rather than working direct to consumer.
