Through early interventions designed around social determinants of health (SDoH), world-class care focused on chronic disease, and human-centered technology, we believe we can build a healthcare model that allows for all patients to live their fullest lives. We are a fast-growing, impact-focused, Y Combinator company created out of the University of Southern California's D-Health Lab with the idea that empowering government, healthcare, and nonprofit services with population-based data could help usher in a new era of preventive public health. Today we are building a full stack medical network that leverages our predictive capabilities to provide a frictionless experience for both our patients and care providers.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The Opportunity</span></strong></p> <p>We are seeking a rare physician leader to undertake one of the most challenging and rewarding missions in healthcare today. </p> <p>As our Physician Lead - Primary Care Innovation in Rhode Island, you will be the cornerstone of our ambitious initiative to build AI-enabled primary care clinics from the ground up.
