Class with no initial properties

Hey all,
3 classes have been defined in my project:
testClass which contain patients.
Patients are from the type patientClass, which contain an ID and data.
The data is from the type dataClass, which contain results.
If I want to make a test from the type testClass with a constructor:
test = testClass();
I don't want it to have any patients yet. Instead, patients should be added through a class method of testClass:
addPatient(idNumber) as such:
test.addPatient('12345');
Same goes with data in patients and results in data.
Is this doable or am I missing the point here?
Maybe I should define the patients of testClass as a group. In that case I would have a group of patients (maybe an array of objects? I still think this is not really OOP-minded though) upon creation of the trial, which in turn can be empty (or which's size can be defined along with the constructor).
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

You can do this. When you define the patients property in testClass, just initialize it to be empty.
classdef testClass
properties
patients = patientClass.empty;
end
...
end
