About Wellframe

Wellframe is a Boston-based digital health company focused on building the next generation of infrastructure for care delivery by combining clinical medicine, artificial intelligence and mobile technology. We’re using our system to deliver more personalized treatments, optimize the management of large patient populations, and dynamically organize healthcare resources around the needs of patients.

 

We work with health insurers, hospitals, device companies, and outpatient clinical settings to bring the highest standards of preventive medicine to patients with complex medical and social needs. In partnership with our clients, we develop and use mobile technology for nurse care management programs.

 

Department Overview

The clinical team at Wellframe works closely with all other Wellframe departments to create clinical tools, programs, and processes that help patients gain access to the knowledge and clinical expertise they need to manage their health needs at any given moment. Our team is made up of clinicians, communications, patient advocacy, and public health experts who enjoy working with colleagues from diverse backgrounds to solve tough health problems.

 

Position Overview

We are currently seeking applicants with a background in patient advocacy, case management, health coaching, health promotion, and/or social work who are interested in joining our team of health advocates. The health advocate will leverage his or her patient communication and health coaching skills to support patients with chronic disease through the use of the Wellframe mobile platform. The role of the Health Advocate is essential to our efforts both to increase engagement with the Wellframe app and to improve health outcomes among our users.
