Data Scientist

Wellth Is a Pioneering Digital Health Company.

We seek to motivate and incentivize healthy habits for high-risk patients through individualized care plans. Our approach draws on a unique combination of behavioral economics, habit science, and cutting-edge technology to drive positive behavior and habit change among some of the US's most underserved and high-needs patient populations. Our work has produced demonstrable results, with several large health insurers reporting significant reductions in hospitalization rates by up to 44% in some cases. Our ambition is to be more than just another digital health startup; we aspire to be a category leader in the $88B health outcomes market, singularly focused on improving the lives and medical outcomes of historically hard-to-engage populations. Our work immediately impacts people's lives daily; we have served over 30,000 patients, prevented an estimated 9,000 days in the hospital, and saved 320 lives.

You will have the opportunity to solve interesting healthcare data problems.

Some of the problems you'll work on include:

Architect and implement scalable analytics to demonstrate customer outcomes.
Identify high-risk patients that are likely to gain significant benefit from Wellth programs.
Develop propensity score models for generating synthetic control groups.
Build and evolve predictive models: churn, health improvement, disease progression, behavioral improvement, and more.
Investigate potential expansion / impact areas not yet addressed by Wellth's solutions.
Tell a powerful story about the impact of Wellth's positive behavior change through data and data visualizations.

Specifically, you will:

Develop and maintain a codebase for Wellth's second-generation data analysis and visualization package, focusing on healthcare outcomes.
Triage operational issues, address data bugs, create and maintain documentation.
Build durable self-service data tools operating on health data that support product insights for our customers.
Optimize and experiment with new and existing business-critical data models.
Seek, make available, and consume new data sets, including but not limited to healthcare data standard sets (e.g. claims data, clinical information, EHR data)
Serve as a thought partner to our Product Managers and Product leadership team. Educate our teams to help us ask better questions, interpret findings more effectively, and drive informed decision-making.
Provide leadership on industry best practices, trending topics, and emergent technologies to continuously improve and refine our processes and systems.
