Base salary: $120,000 - $160,000
Equity: Meaningful ownership in a fast-growing healthtech startup
Hello Patient is transforming healthcare communication through advanced conversational AI. Our founding team spent 3.5 years scaling Carbon Health's technology during hypergrowth, where we saw firsthand how much clinical time gets wasted on basic communication—great clinicians buried in admin work, patients stuck in phone tag.
Our AI platform proactively engages patients through perfectly timed calls and texts, resolving complex interactions end-to-end—from scheduling to billing to retention. Built with security and compliance at its core, our technology integrates with existing healthcare infrastructure to deliver 24/7 patient engagement.
Backed by Scale and 8VC, we're building the future of healthcare communication, one conversation at a time.
Automates patient messaging for healthcare providers
Hello Patient offers an AI-powered platform that automates patient outreach for healthcare providers using an AI assistant named Mia via SMS and phone calls. It works by routing messages and calls to Mia, which can respond, schedule, send reminders, and triage interactions, with API integration for a clinic’s existing systems and 24/7 secure, multilingual support. Unlike broader AI chat products, Hello Patient focuses on clinics and dental practices, emphasizes healthcare-grade security, and provides ready-made workflows aimed at yielding immediate ROI from the first interaction. Its goal is to simplify patient communication, streamline clinic operations, and free healthcare teams to spend more time on direct patient care.
