Mission: 

The Human Diagnosis Project (Human Dx) is a worldwide effort, created with and led by the global medical community, to build an open intelligence system that maps the steps to help any patient. By combining the collective intelligence of doctors with machine learning, Human Dx intends to enable more accurate, affordable, and accessible care for all.

Why Work For Us?: 

To nearly every person on Earth, the wellbeing of oneself and one’s loved ones is the most important concern. However, perhaps the most essential question of human wellbeing is still very difficult to answer: when someone isn't well, what should be done?

Patients, doctors, insurers, foundations, governments, and many other health stakeholders struggle with this question. The information we seek is siloed in medical research, academic handbooks, disparate closed systems, and the minds of individual practitioners. However, relevant answers are not readily available in a single, open system that is universally accessible.

Diagnosis is a crucial early step in assessing, treating, managing, and ultimately curing disease. By improving humankind's fundamental understanding of clinical decision-making, the Project could elevate wellbeing for current and future generations.

Human Dx is structured as a partnership between the social, public, and private sectors. Its partners include many of the nation's top medical organizations (including the American Medical Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and the American Board of Medical Specialties), academic centers (including Harvard, Hopkins, UCSF, MIT, and Berkeley), and financial supporters (including Union Square Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and the Moore Foundation).

We are looking to expand our team with exceptional people who possess a strong sense of social mission. The team includes alumni of leading organizations (e.g., the World Health Organization, the White House, Google, Facebook, McKinsey, and Blackstone) and universities (e.g., Oxford, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley).
