The cycle is the unit of work, not the visit
An IVF journey is a cycle — stimulation, OPU, fertilisation, transfer, beta — running over roughly two to three weeks with many visits, hormone readings and embryo grades along the way. Most clinic software forces this into a series of disconnected appointments. Lucoze opens a cycle as a single object: the protocol, the day count and the upcoming tests sit on one view, and the patient summary shows cycle progress on top.
Billing and records that fit a regulated, high-cost journey
IVF is expensive and usually paid over an instalment plan, with the counsellor's cost discussions on record. Lucoze keeps the plan and the running balance attached to the cycle, so there are no mid-cycle billing surprises. Cycle, donor and consent records are organised to line up with the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021 and the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 — the two separate statutes an ART clinic reports under.
One linked file for the couple, not two that never reconcile
Fertility care is a couple's journey, but most records are built around one patient at a time. Lucoze links a couple's two records so the shared history, each partner's tests and the consent captured from both sit together against the same cycle. Billing runs against the couple, not split across two files that never reconcile. When a partner's result or a donor detail matters mid-cycle, it is on the record the clinician already has open — not in a second file someone has to go and find. The link is explicit, so who consented to what stays clear across every cycle the couple goes through.
The stimulation protocol becomes a schedule the patient can follow
A stimulation protocol is a run of injectables on set days, and the patient gives most of them at home. Lucoze holds the protocol against the cycle — which drug, what dose, which day — and turns it into a schedule the patient can follow, so a missed or mistimed injection is less likely to derail a cycle. As monitoring comes back and doses are adjusted, the change sits on the same cycle record rather than on a loose note. The clinician sees the protocol as prescribed, the patient sees what to take today, and both are reading the same plan.
