GenderGP helps healthcare providers make evidence-based decisions on hormone health by transforming analysing individual preferences with clinical guidelines to make personalised treatment recommendations.

About GenderGP

At GenderGP, we understand the significance of personalised healthcare solutions. Our Treatment Recommendation system is designed to bridge the gap between current peer-reviewed clinical guidelines, best practices, and individualised needs.

Data Collection

Members begin by providing essential information about their health, including their medical history, personal history, examination parameters and any relevant blood test results.

• General Health Information: Overall health status – relevant co-existing conditions and allergies.
• Psychological and Mental Health History: Current history of mental health conditions, treatments, and current psychological wellbeing.
• Hormonal History: Previous or current use of hormones, including non-prescription hormones or supplements.
• Reproductive Health History: Fertility preservation wishes and contraception needs.
• Medication History: Relevant concurrent medications.
• Psychosocial History: Social support systems and challenges.

This data serves as the foundation upon which our system builds personalised treatment recommendations.

Consent Session

The consent session is a session with an expereinced gender specialist to evaluate the person’s ability to self-determine in their gender identity and to

• Explanation of Treatment Options: Detailed information about the available gender-affirming interventions, including hormone therapies, surgeries, and any other relevant treatments.
• Assessment of Understanding: Evaluating the member’s understanding of these treatments, their benefits, risks, potential side effects, and long-term implications.
• Discussion of Personal Goals and Expectations: Understanding the member’s goals and expectations from the treatment to ensure they align with the potential outcomes.
• Evaluation of Decision-Making Capacity: Assessing the member’s ability to make informed, voluntary decisions regarding their healthcare.

Progress Review

The progress review analysis and sessions are designed to evaluate someone’s response and progress in gender-affirming care and typically includes:

• Review of Physical Changes: Assessing the physical changes since the start of treatment and comparing them to expected outcomes.
• Monitoring Hormone Levels: Reviewing results from recent blood tests to check hormone levels and adjust dosages if necessary.

This review is crucial for ensuring that any treatment is effective, safe, and aligned with the individual’s goals and well-being.

Treatment Recommendation

• Clinical Guidelines Integration: We integrate the most up-to-date and evidence-based clinical guidelines into our algorithms. These guidelines are derived from peer-reviewed research and expert consensus in the field of hormone-related health.
• Algorithmic Analysis: Our advanced algorithms analyse the member’s supplied information in conjunction with the clinical guidelines. The algorithms take into account various factors, including the member’s specific health condition, age, gender, and any other relevant variables.
• Personalised Treatment Recommendations: Based on this analysis, the system generates personalised treatment recommendations that align with the member’s unique health needs and goals. These recommendations may encompass lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, exercise regimens, and potential medical interventions.
• Collaboration with Medical Practitioners: Our approach emphasises collaboration with healthcare providers. The Treatment Recommendations are not intended to replace medical expertise but rather to enhance it. Members are encouraged to share their Treatment Recommendations with their medical practitioners, who play a crucial role in evaluating and implementing the suggested treatments.
• Continuous Improvement: Our system is continuously updated to incorporate the latest research and clinical developments, ensuring that members receive the most current and effective Treatment Recommendations.
• The GenderGP Pathway combines technology with evidence-based clinical guidelines to create personalised treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each member. Our collaborative approach empowers individuals to make informed healthcare decisions in consultation with their medical practitioners or our recommended experts, ultimately contributing to improved hormone-related health and overall wellbeing.
