What The Helm is
One bridge for the whole patient experience.
Polaris and The Compass are what patients see. The Helm is where a clinical team decides what they see: practice identity and branding, tone of voice, the pathway content itself, what is visible, and the sign-off that lets it go live.
Clinician-only
The single credentialled, non-patient-facing surface — staff identity only, never a patient.
Nothing publishes silently
Every change is a draft; it reaches patients only through an explicit clinical sign-off.
No code, no patient data
A clinician runs the whole thing without touching code — and it holds no PII or PHI.
The workspace
Everything in one place.
Identity and branding, tone of voice, content, what patients can see, and the invitations that open a pathway for a patient — all from a single dashboard, on your practice’s brand.
It is the calm cockpit behind the patient apps: clarity, control, confidence.
The Helm dashboard — identity, voice, content and patient access in one place.
The editorial engine
An editorial team, not a chatbot.
Behind The Helm is not a single chatbot but a whole editorial team: several specialised AI agents, each doing one job — drafting from your brief, writing the easy-read version, tying claims to their sources. What keeps them on track is not more AI: each agent is held to strict, deterministic rules — fixed, non-AI checks that decide what a valid pathway looks like and what cannot pass.
The flow was built by a clinician, for clinicians, and every tenant runs that same team — not a cut-down one. It speeds up the draft, never the review: each claim arrives with its source attached, and nothing reaches a patient until a clinician signs it off. The team assists; the clinician is the author of record.
“A clinician must review and sign off the result before patients can see it.”
Your figures, your video
Make it yours — or let us make it for you.
Pathways are not text-only. There is room for your own diagrams, illustrations and video — and if technology is not your world, you do not have to touch any of it.
Space for personalised figures
Add your own diagrams, anatomical illustrations and images to a pathway, placed where they help the patient understand.
Room for your own video
Embed procedure or recovery video — your explanation, in your voice, alongside the written steps.
Not tech-y? We produce it for you
Send us what you have. We generate and produce the figures and video on your behalf, and place them in your pathway — full hands-on support, end to end.
Governance & sign-off
The warrant, on the record.
A registered clinician records their professional registration once; that unlocks sign-off as the responsible reviewer. Signing off writes a permanent, immutable record — who signed, what, which version, and when.
Content is kept aligned to its source: on a reissue it is flagged for review, then realigned and re-signed. The result is a record of exactly what your information said, in which version, on any given date.
Registration unlocks sign-off as the responsible reviewer — recorded in an immutable audit.
Available now
On the App Store and Google Play, free.
The Helm is published by GGO Systems Limited and is free to download, on iOS (approved for distribution on 18 August 2026) and on Google Play. It is a professional tool: the app opens on the Helm sign-in, and there is nothing to see without a Helm account.
Your workspace, wherever you are.
Review a draft between lists, sign off a pathway as the responsible reviewer, or print a patient’s access QR from the ward. Notifications are strictly opt-in and deliberately uninformative — a reminder that something awaits you, with no procedure, patient or clinical detail on the lock screen.
Clinician and staff identity only — never a patient, and never patient PII or PHI. Nothing clinical is stored in the app itself: it is the same workspace a desktop browser opens.
The rest of the suite
One connected journey.
Before surgery
Polaris
A calm, accessible pre-operative companion built to the Montgomery standard.
After surgery
The Compass
A day-by-day recovery guide that flags the red lines and cuts predictable calls.
