Head of Product

About us

Layer Health was founded in 2023 by leading machine learning researchers from MIT and Harvard Medical School. We are building an AI layer that can accurately and scalably synthesize information from medical records, with the mission to reduce friction everywhere in healthcare. Our LLM-powered platform is solving chart review once and for all, across use cases. For health systems, our first product dramatically accelerates clinical registry abstraction in areas ranging from surgery and cardiology, to oncology. Our long term vision is for our AI layer to safely transform patient care and minimize unnecessary heartbreak. Layer Health’s diverse founding team brings expertise across machine learning, UI/UX, large language models, and medicine.

We’re seeking an exceptional candidate to join our company as our Head of Product. Deploying AI into healthcare isn’t simply adding LLM outputs to existing forms. It requires a complete re-envisioning of workflows. We’re looking for someone who can see beyond the first-level requirements and help us reimagine what the future of healthcare powered by AI could look like. 

Here’s a collection of articles about our product, mission, recent funding round, etc.
