Healthcare Data Scientist (Health Tech Startup) 🚀 in United State

About 1Phi 🤩

1Phi is building a first of its kind AI-powered healthcare navigator, called 1Sage, that lets patients find the treatment options with the best clinical outcomes for their unique situation. It continuously monitors and trains on billions of medical records across over 100 million patients nationwide and over 1 million doctors and medical facilities. Patients simply chat with 1Sage, indicating their circumstances and needs. The more information they provide, the better the insights.

1Phi stands for 1st Principles Healthcare Institute, a name that reflects our commitment to R&D and taking an unorthodox approach to solving intractable and persistent industry challenges. As a Public Benefit Corporation, we’re grounded in decades of experience with payer financial models, government policy, provider incentives, and patient empowerment. By deploying artificial intelligence across data assets previously available only to industry insiders, 1Phi is uniquely positioned to bring patients the knowledge to make decisions in their own best interest.
