Job Title: Norbert Health Operations Manager, Brooklyn, NY

About Norbert Health:

In the future, our health will be monitored continuously by ambient sensors in our homes, that will detect and monitor nearly invisible trends or changes in our habits and vital signs, and detect health medical problems such as infections, or deteriorations in chronic conditions, before the first perceptible symptom even occurs. Norbert Health has built the first AI health hub that makes this future a reality by performing (almost all) the work of a full-time nurse, wherever patients are. Norbert Health is the first true multimodal, ambient sensing platform to train a fully multimodal, behavioral and medical AI for day to day healthcare.

Today, we are focused on improving the lives of elders, in nursing homes and at home. Our devices are about to be widely deployed in the US and in other parts of the world. We are building software, hardware, AI that will revolutionize elder care in the short term, and healthcare in the long term.
