H. pylori Respiratory Diagnostic Protocol & Referral Network

A specialized diagnostic triage service embedded in primary care and pulmonology clinics that flags patients with unexplained respiratory symptoms for H. pylori testing before escalating to expensive respiratory workups. The service trains clinic staff on the H. pylori–respiratory symptom connection, provides a decision-tree checklist, and coordinates rapid testing + GI referral when indicated. It operates as a white-label clinical protocol that clinics adopt and staff execute, not a software tool.

SERVICE

36 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Reduces unnecessary respiratory testing (spirometry, CT, allergy workups) by 20–30% in flagged patients, shortens time-to-diagnosis from months to weeks, improves patient satisfaction, and lowers clinic liability for missed diagnoses. Clinics see faster throughput and lower diagnostic costs; reimbursement stays the same or improves (fewer failed treatments, faster resolution).

Target Audience

Primary care practices (2–50 providers) and pulmonology clinics in mid-sized markets; clinic managers and medical directors who own diagnostic spend and patient outcomes

Key Features

  • Laminated bedside checklist (respiratory + GI symptom cluster) for front-desk and nursing staff
  • 2-hour staff training module (in-person or video) on H. pylori–respiratory pathway and local testing/referral logistics
  • Pre-printed H. pylori test order templates (stool antigen, breath test, serology) integrated into EHR templates
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

EHR integration expertise (HL7, FHIR, or native API for major EHRs: Epic, Cerner, Athena) Basic CRM (HubSpot or Pipedrive) for clinic sales pipeline Google Sheets or Tableau for outcome reporting Video hosting (Loom or Vimeo) for asynchronous training

Original Problem

Patients struggle to connect H. pylori infection symptoms to unexplained respiratory problems, delaying diagnosis and treatment

Patients experiencing breathing difficulties, asthma-like symptoms, or chronic cough often don't realize these could be caused by H. pylori infection triggering reflux, microaspiration, and bronchoconstriction. Doctors frequently miss this connection, leading to months or years of misdiagnosis, unnecessary respiratory treatments, and worsening quality of life. Current medical education and diagnostic protocols fail to address this indirect causal pathway, leaving patients frustrated and symptomatic.
