Neura Health is a venture-backed startup with a mission to improve access and quality of care for neurologic conditions. Our longer-term vision is to find cures by learning from the experience of every neurology patient. We were inspired to create Neura because of two critical problems in neurology: access and quality. Access is subpar because there are not enough neurologists in the country, so the average wait time is 4-6 months, with patients often having to travel hours to access the right specialist. Quality is subpar because diagnoses are based on self-reported data with significant recency bias.
Neura has raised $10.3m in funding from top investors including Next Play Ventures (the fund of former LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner), Pear VC (Gusto, DoorDash), KDT (Path.AI), and Norwest Venture Partners (Calm, Talkspace).
Neura serves major neurological conditions including headache, migraine, sleep disorders, epilepsy, neurological pain, concussion, multiple sclerosis, and others. Our platform provides all the tools needed for a highly effective patient-provider relationship, with a goal to improve outcomes and reduce costs. Patients receive an engaging mobile app with a dedicated concierge to ensure that all their care needs are met.
We are looking for a Care Concierge who wants to work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and some of the hardest problems in healthcare. You will be working as part of a clinical team to deliver holistic, comprehensive, and collaborative care to patients with chronic neurological conditions (e.g., migraine; sleep disorders). We are looking for someone who is empathetic, compassionate, mission-driven, collaborative, and results-oriented. You will have the opportunity to learn and practice evidence-based and cutting-edge coaching techniques in digital health to help patients make behavioral changes as they work to maximize symptom relief and get back to engaging in meaningful life activities. This role will report to Neura’s Director of Operations.
