Chief Medical Officer

Founded in 2017, our company has a singular vision: to create a world with zero preventable deaths due to a lack of continuous diagnostic monitoring.

Instead of a single data point, our patch tracks multiple, crucial targets continuously and in real-time, giving clinicians critical, personalized insights. The DNA-based sensors are coated onto the surface of minimally invasive micro-needles. Each micro-needle is a separate sensor, making it possible to have dozens of sensors on one patch.

In this role, you will develop and drive the Medical, Clinical Affairs and Regulatory Strategy. You will be supporting the organization on clinical trials and KOL engagement during the life cycle of Product Research, Product Development through to commercialization and supporting post launch clinical uptake.

An important aspect of the role is advising and educating internal and external stakeholders on all aspects of the clinical and medical affairs strategy in alignment to product development. In addition, your role is to establish and manage our clinical advisory board. You will be responsible for the establishment of the clinical and medical team and subsequent processes and procedures.
