About this role
Overview:
About us
ecares health is a healthcare technology startup spun out of Essen Health Care, a large multispecialty provider group in the Bronx. We're building the care coordination OS that brings concierge medicine to underserved communities. Our platform powers proactive outreach, intelligent care programs, and automated scheduling, helping provider groups ensure no patient falls through the cracks.
Through our unique relationship with Essen Health Care, we have access to clinical and operational experts who help drive our product strategy and refine our vision. Our platform is currently live with active users at Essen, and we are finalizing expansion to more practices across New York City in the coming months.
Why ecares
Healthcare is full of absurd complexity: a patient has two tax IDs, three insurance plans, referrals that expire in ways that don't make sense, and an EHR that was built in 1999. A clinical rule that sounds simple ("high-risk diabetes patients should see endocrinology every 90 days") touches eligibility logic, scheduling constraints, provider credentialing, and half a dozen integrations.
There are a hundred health tech startups with AI in their names, but few are interested in leveraging LLMs, and other cutting-edge technology, to build the operational infrastructure that makes care coordination work. And none are as committed as we are to the belief that technology is society's strongest lever to improve health at a population level.
