Principal Health Informatics Data Analyst

Wellth, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079


Wellth is a fast-growing digital health startup headquartered in Los Angeles that recently raised a Series B from leading investors including SignalFire. Our mission is to provide daily care motivation to people living with chronic conditions so they can make healthier choices, every single day.

We don’t assume that just providing a tool or a beautiful app will actually get results. We use behavioral economics, habit science, and technology to motivate and sustain behavior change in some of the highest need and most underserved populations in the US (think Medicaid and Medicare), drastically changing their quality of life and health outcomes. We have demonstrated results with several large insurers and health systems (e.g. reducing hospitalizations by over 40%), and are scaling the company and team. Our goal is to be the category leader in improving health outcomes for hard to engage populations, a $50B+ annual opportunity in healthcare.

Our work quite literally saves lives every day. We’ve engaged 65,000+ members, prevented 15k+ hospital days and saved 500+ lives. We are a mission-driven company where you work with incredible talent and see tangible differences directly from your impact and influence.
