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.

At Neura Health, we are constantly looking for providers who want to work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and some of the hardest problems in healthcare. Currently, we are looking for an advisor who is well-versed in the evidence-based treatment of dementia and who is empathetic, compassionate, mission-driven, collaborative, and results-oriented.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop medical guidelines for our dementia care offering
  • Own and create content for our dementia product: intake forms, care plans, and more
  • Development of outcomes dashboards
  • In future quarters, evaluate and examine patients

Requirements:

  • MD or DO
  • ABPN certification or eligibility in Neurology
  • Leadership in the field of behavioral neurology/dementia care
  • Interest in telehealth dementia care and product development
  • Soft skills: listening, negotiating, decision-making, and leadership.
  • Culture fit: empathic, mission-driven, collaborative, precise, transparent, compassionate, and results-oriented.

Time Commitment:

  • Expected 10-15 hours per month for the first 3 months
