Job description
About Carda
Rehab is a pain. So much so that only 10% of qualifying Cardiac and Pulmonary patients attend, which results in complications for patients and at least $190B in costs. At Carda Health, we’ve re-imagined rehab. Our program allows patients to complete engaging, compassionate, and life-saving rehabilitation remotely.
Who are we?
We are a team of data scientists, mathematicians, repeat entrepreneurs, and clinicians. And one recovering financier. Our united belief is that technology and data, when applied ethically and compassionately, can transform individuals’ lives and fundamentally change even the most entrenched industries. Carda was founded by Harry and Andrew, two friends from Wharton who share a family history of heart disease and experience with Cardiac Rehab. We now work with some of America’s largest and top-ranked hospitals and most innovative insurers. We are fortunate to be backed by some of the best seed investors in the business who have also backed the likes of Livongo, Mammoth Biosciences, and Ro to name a few.
Who are you?
You are a professional passionate about Cardiopulmonary Rehab patients?
