Backend Software Engineer

Company details

Description of the offer

Who are we, you ask?
We’re QDG Health, a group of engineers, scientists, creatives, and operators (by day at least) working to bring the management of mobility disorders to the 21st century. Mobility disorders face a challenge: the inability to objectively measure motor symptoms. Patients have no way to relay symptoms, doctors lack a tool to monitor response to therapy or progression between visits, and clinical trials waste billions on studies with blurry measurements.

QDG Health enables on-demand assessment and cost-effective management of mobility disorders. Our AI-enhanced remote monitoring ecosystem transforms patient care by remotely capturing motor symptoms in real time that reveal critical insights into a patient’s mobility. The connected care platform mutually empowers both clinicians and people with mobility disorders, enabling precise therapies and worldwide access to neurological care.

Here’s a short blog post to learn more about how it works:
