Some of the benefits we offer:
— Directly shape the future of digital health
— Work with serial entrepreneurs
— Flat hierarchies, flexible vacation and working times
— Mario Kart in the office :-)
The role encompasses:
— Take over the development of our Motion Coaching library
— Contribute to apps that utilize this library, such as the “Kaia Personal Trainer”, “Kaia Back Pain Relief”, and “Kaia COPD Therapy”.
— Develop prototype apps for our digital biomarker technology
— Work closely with our Core Machine Learning team
At Kaia, we take proven offline therapy techniques and transform them into app-based therapies. However, in this process, some important aspects of these therapies can be lost. Our focus at Kaia Health AI Lab is to bring back those aspects by leveraging machine intelligence. For example, our “Motion Coaching” technology allows users to get real-time feedback on how well they do their exercises. Motion Coach utilizes only the smartphone’s built-in camera and neural networks, and requires no additional hardware. Our app is the only one worldwide that can tell users if they are doing their exercises correctly.
In the future, the AI Lab will also work on advancing our therapy personalization engine, as well as developing digital biomarkers for therapeutic purposes for our late-stage pipeline covering COPD, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson’s disease.
