Our mission is to give every patient a guide in the healthcare system.

Karuna's software allows patients to stay in touch with their care teams using the same channels they use with friends and family: from Whatsapp and text messaging to voice calls and video. To handle the increased volume and quality of interactions, our automation tools help care teams prioritize, measure their performance, and cut through back office work so that they can focus on doing what they do best: building authentic relationships with the patients who need them most.

Our focus today is on care management, a niche part of the healthcare ecosystem dedicated to serving the most vulnerable and sickest members of our communities. In the future, we will enable healthcare organizations to build deeper, more impactful relationships with every patient, while also helping them expand the scope and accessibility of their services for all.

--OPENINGS--

We're seeking a skilled frontend engineer to take responsibility for bringing Karuna's user-facing interfaces to life.

Without guidance, patients often feel anonymous, isolated, and helpless.

Around the country, teams of health guides, often called “care managers,” work directly with patients to guide them through the healthcare system. The impact these teams have is inspiring, but is expensive and difficult to scale.

At Karuna, we build software that automates common care care coordination tasks so that care management teams can get back to what they do best: being there for patients when they need help the most. We're led by repeat founders, advised by three of the most prominent healthcare leaders in the U.S., and backed by some of the best seed funds on earth (First Round, BoxGroup, etc.). Since day one, helping patients has been part of our DNA. One of our patients told us: "I wish you were available to me when I first started this journey, and I believe that this could be a game changer for battling [my] disease."

We're hiring for Full Stack and Back-end Engineer roles. Some details for both roles:

- Responsibility for bringing Karuna's vision to life. Your input is crucial to everything we build.

- Write code with a deeply technical eng team (co-founder / CTO and two product-focused full-stack engineers).

- Rapidly prototype new features, measure impact, and collaborate with experienced product lead to update our roadmap.

- Take us from demo to production level code as soon as we're experiencing traction.

If you're interested, feel free to PM me or go to https://angel.co/karunahealth/jobs/

“Most Americans in HDHPs are not doing things that can help them get the care they need at the lowest possible cost, and even those who are doing so could realize more benefits,” says lead author Jeffrey Kullgren, M.D., M.S., M.P.H., an assistant professor of general medicine at U-M. (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/articl...)

"Research published last year in the American Journal of Managed Care showed that switching to a consumer-directed health plan—an HDHP paired with a health savings account—did, in fact, result in lower outpatient spending. But the researchers, led by Neeraj Sood, vice dean and professor at USC’s Price School of Public Policy at the University of Southern California, found no change in spending on 26 commonly used, low-value services." (https://www.managedcaremag.com/archives/2018/6/hdhps-cost-sh...)

"Current evidence suggests that HDHPs are associated with lower health care costs as a result of a reduction in the use of health services, including appropriate services" (https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/abs/10.1377/hlthaff.2017.0...)

Not correct to say this--people analytics has been around since at least 2013 (http://www.eremedia.com/tlnt/how-google-is-using-people-anal...)

Congrats on the YC funding! Just referred you guys to my colleagues in the sales department.
