Job description
ABOUT THE VENTURE
We are in the beginning of a paradigm shift in healthcare from reactive “sick care” towards proactive “well care”. Demand for products and services promoting healthspan (quality of life) and lifespan (length of life) is on the rise, propelled by an underlying shift towards P4 medicine (predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory), advancements in health technologies (e.g., telemedicine, biomonitoring/wearables, and artificial intelligence), and significant research advances on anti-aging products (e.g., supplements, off-label uses of drugs, ongoing clinical trials for anti-aging medications). Furthermore, these tailwinds are occurring within pockets of massive addressable markets.
Our mission is to lead this transformative wave by establishing a direct-to-consumer preventive health platform to help the world age better through the power of clinical research, behavioral science, and technology. We believe that the future of health is prevention, and everyone deserves access to the latest scientific advancements in aging research. That’s why we’re committed to providing science-backed tools to our consumers to improve their healthspan and lifespan through mastering the basics such as sleep, nutrition/diet, physical exercise, and mental well-being.
Specifically, we view better sleep as the foundation of healthy habits (e.g., easier diet adherence, higher energy levels, greater emotional control, etc.) and natural starting point for anyone looking to incorporate preventive health measures into their daily lives. We are excited to build the first truly holistic long-term sleep solution to empower consumers to take control of their health and normalize the challenges of sleep and aging within today’s modern society. If you’re someone with a scientific background eager to become the next big “doctor influencer” and make a difference by providing valuable, science-based information more accessible and fostering a community for our brand then we encourage you to apply!
