The NHS Gap

Chronic hormonal conditions are poorly served by episodic care.

Women with thyroid disease and PCOS are chronically underserved by a system designed for acute care. The conditions are highly prevalent, require continuous management, and generate significant downstream NHS cost — yet the standard pathway offers little between appointments.

The consequence is a cohort of patients who are symptomatic, disengaged, and repeatedly accessing primary care without structured support — generating avoidable contacts and compounding comorbidity risk.

Why This Matters to the NHS

The system consequence of unstructured chronic care.

🔄

Repeated Unplanned GP Contacts

Without structured self-management support, symptomatic patients return repeatedly to primary care between scheduled appointments — generating avoidable consultations that compound GP workload.

🔀

Fragmented Referral Pathways

Thyroid disease and PCOS frequently require input from endocrinology, gynaecology, and dietetics — yet these specialties rarely coordinate. Patients navigate fragmented pathways with no central support.

Compressed Appointment Value

Patients arrive at 15-minute specialist appointments underprepared — without symptom logs, lifestyle history, or structured questions — reducing clinical value and increasing the likelihood of repeat referrals.

📈

Downstream Comorbidity Cost

Unmanaged thyroid dysfunction and PCOS are associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and mental health conditions — all preventable through early, structured self-management support.

🕐

Extended Diagnostic Delay

Long diagnostic pathways for PCOS — averaging 5+ years — result in delayed treatment, deteriorating metabolic health, and increasing fertility complications that are costly to address at later stages.

🏥

Specialist Capacity Pressure

Endocrinology and gynaecology waiting lists continue to grow. Without community-based self-management infrastructure, demand on secondary care outpatient services remains structurally unsustainable.

The Allvi Pathway

A structured, community-based self-management pathway.

Allvi integrates multidisciplinary support into a coordinated pathway delivered entirely in the community — requiring no new technology from patients and no EPR integration from NHS partners. The pathway is designed to complement, not replace, NHS clinical care.

1

Structured Onboarding

Comprehensive intake covering symptom history, current NHS care, labs, and lifestyle — establishing a longitudinal baseline.

2

Clinical Consultation

Initial clinical review with a specialist and registered dietitian — personalised protocol developed and aligned with NHS treatment plan.

3

Daily Support & Tracking

Structured symptom tracking and daily specialist messaging — no app or device required.

4

Personalised Protocol

Evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle, and self-management protocols — updated regularly based on symptom data and lab trends.

5

NHS Appointment Prep

Structured symptom logs and clinical summaries prepared for each NHS appointment — improving clinical value of each visit.

Multidisciplinary

Coordinated Care Team

Each patient has access to a clinical specialist, registered dietitian, and daily support coordinator — operating as a coordinated team from a single longitudinal record.

No New Technology

Delivered via Text & Email

The pathway uses communication channels patients already use. No app download, no new account, no digital literacy barrier. No EPR integration required from NHS partners.

Longitudinal

Continuous, Not Episodic

Unlike outpatient care, Allvi provides continuous structured support — tracking symptoms, adjusting protocols, and preparing patients for each clinical review over months and years.

NHS-Complementary

No Duplication of Clinical Care

Allvi does not diagnose, prescribe, or provide emergency care. All clinical decisions remain with NHS clinicians. Allvi provides the structured self-management layer that the NHS pathway does not currently offer at scale.

Evidence-Based

Protocols Aligned to NICE Guidelines

Nutrition, lifestyle, and self-management protocols are developed in accordance with NICE guidance for thyroid disease (NG145) and PCOS (CG171) — and reviewed by our clinical advisory team.

Scalable

Community Deployment Model

The pathway can be deployed across a PCN or ICB population without physical infrastructure — making it immediately scalable to neighbourhood health programme requirements.

Important: Allvi is a self-management and specialist support platform. Prescribing decisions remain entirely with NHS clinicians. Allvi does not issue prescriptions or provide emergency care. The platform is designed as a structured pathway operating between NHS appointments — not as a replacement for any aspect of clinical care.
NHS Strategic Alignment

Mapped to NHS Long Term Plan priorities.

Allvi's model was developed with direct reference to the NHS 10-Year Plan and the neighbourhood health agenda — addressing three of the plan's core transformation priorities.

NHS 10-Year Plan · Priority 1

Releasing Time to Care & Supporting the Workforce

By providing structured daily self-management support between appointments, Allvi reduces avoidable GP follow-up contacts and unplanned primary care attendances — releasing clinician time for patients who require in-person care. Better-prepared patients at specialist appointments increase the clinical value of each outpatient slot.

NHS 10-Year Plan · Priority 2

Enabling Patient Self-Management in the Community

Allvi provides structured, condition-specific self-management education, symptom tracking, and daily specialist support — enabling women to actively manage their chronic hormonal condition in the community. This aligns directly with the NHS shift from reactive episodic care to proactive, continuous self-management pathways.

NHS 10-Year Plan · Priority 3

Building Capacity for Neighbourhood Health

With no physical infrastructure requirement, Allvi brings specialist-level multidisciplinary support into the community — meeting patients where they are, reducing access barriers, and operating entirely within the neighbourhood health model without requiring new clinical estate or workforce.

NHS Long Term Plan (2024 refresh) — Neighbourhood Health Allvi aligns with the NHS commitment to shift "from sickness to prevention" and to "empower people to manage their own health." The platform directly addresses the plan's priority to reduce health inequalities in women's health, expand community-based chronic disease management, and reduce elective care demand through structured self-management infrastructure.
Early Real-World Evidence

35-day real-world outcomes from initial patient cohort.

An initial cohort of women with thyroid disease and PCOS — all of whom had been receiving standard NHS care with persistent symptoms — enrolled in the Allvi pathway. Outcomes were assessed at 35 days using validated self-report symptom measures.

Cohort characteristics

All participants had existing NHS diagnoses of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, or PCOS. All were currently receiving standard NHS treatment. All reported persistent symptoms despite ongoing clinical care. The Allvi pathway was provided in addition to — not instead of — existing NHS treatment.

Who We Are

Founder & Clinical Team

Founder

Rashmi Gupta founded Allvi following her personal experience as a patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism — conditions she managed for years within the NHS system, experiencing firsthand the gap between diagnosis and structured ongoing support.

Rashmi brings a background in scaling digital health and healthcare businesses internationally, with experience across clinical operations, patient engagement, and health system partnerships. Allvi was built on the premise that structured, multidisciplinary self-management pathways — if delivered at community scale — could materially reduce NHS burden while improving patient outcomes.
