Job description

Our Story

Complex conditions like COPD and congestive heart failure (CHF) are incredibly challenging to manage. People who are already struggling with isolation and the burden of these conditions become increasingly frustrated and disengaged, eventually falling through the cracks and landing in the ER. This cycle perpetuates poor health outcomes and excessive medical costs.

At NuvoAir we believe people deserve a better healthcare experience.

Our team embraces the challenges that others can’t or won’t - by integrating our clinical team with technology, NuvoAir creates a highly empathetic and personalized experience for each patient. This model not only helps patients in their homes, it also supports patients through our clinical trial partners.

Living our Company Values

•  Patient obsessed: Every decision is made with our main focus in mind - improving the lives of patients

•  Act like an owner: Ownership means we speak up, share ideas, give feedback, and are all accountable for growth.

•  Focus on what matters: Creating meaningful solutions to challenging healthcare problems requires simplicity, clarity, and using our unique leverage

•  Build to learn: Failing courageously is a virtue that drives learning and stems from an innovative spirit

•  Practice confident humility: We aim to hold ourselves to the highest standards of humility, curiosity, transparency, and personal development

MUST RESIDE IN CANADA!
