Overview
HealthLeap is an AI start-up revolutionizing healthcare through predictive analytics, initially focused on disease-related malnutrition—a critical form of patient deterioration affecting virtually every hospital condition. Our mission is to maximize health outcomes globally by building a scalable AI platform that screens patients comprehensively using electronic health records (EHRs), labs, clinical notes, and more. We have contracts and pilots at top US health systems and access to extensive EHR data to expand into additional conditions like pressure ulcers, congestive heart failure, infections, readmissions, and mortality predictions.
Outcomes You’ll Drive
- Condition expansion velocity : from idea to viable signal and label, validation, and customer-ready models, typically weeks.
- Improving patient health outcomes : quantified reductions in length of stay, readmissions, and mortality with clear confidence intervals and robust counterfactuals.
- Pilot → production : retrospective analyses to prove impact and transitioning validated pilots into live deployments that deliver measurable outcomes.
Role Overview
We’re looking to hire a product-minded Data Scientist with a sound theoretical knowledge foundation. You will own end-to-end problem framing, timeline scoping, experimental design, and model iteration. You will work closely with our CEO and a small team to launch new models quickly and safely by leveraging and expanding on our existing feature tables. You will also run retrospective pilots to estimate clinical and financial impact and support pre-sales by meeting AI / Data Science leaders at health systems to share your model assumptions and development methodologies.
