Our Team
Dandelion Health was founded in 2020 by experts in health tech, hospital systems, academia, and clinical AI. We are building the world’s largest AI training and clinical development platform. Today, we pride ourselves on our ability to make data access as easy as possible for AI developers, pharma, and medical devices, while raising the bar for patient safety and data quality. Tomorrow, we will be the place where any healthcare organization can go to build a responsible clinical AI product. Our culture is all about learning from data and improving, so we can help our clients improve health through AI. Meet the rest of our team here.
Our Data
We partner with health systems to safely and ethically make their de-identified patient data available to AI developers. Currently, the data is acquired from Sharp HealthCare, Sanford Health, and Texas Health Resources – with two additional U.S. health systems joining soon.
We have clinical data dating back to July 1, 2016. This data represents over 10 million patients and includes but is not limited to:
• Structured data (e.g., 100% of the EMR, including some claims)
• Unstructured text (e.g., clinical notes, radiology reports)
• Images (e.g., DICOM, pathology)
• Video
• Waveforms
• Continuous streaming monitoring data
Your Role
You are a data scientist or researcher with a background in Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) who knows your way around clinical data and health economics simulation modeling. Your primary responsibility will be to own HEOR and real-world evidence (RWE) projects from end-to-end that leverage Dandelion data and evaluate the impact of newly developed interventions in a patient population. These interventions range from traditional (therapeutics, medical devices) to more novel (newly developed AI algorithms that would impact the patient care journey when deployed in a healthcare setting) in nature.
This role will be responsible for generating and disseminating scientific evidence to support the value proposition of different interventions for a range of stakeholders, including AI developers, providers, policymakers, and patients. You will work across the organization to curate datasets by identifying patient subpopulations or disease cohorts, develop HEOR and RWE models to evaluate the impact of therapeutic or algorithmic interventions, and provide health economic modeling output to support stakeholders in making decisions.
You will use your data expertise, programming abilities, and critical thinking skills to support our technical product team, and develop your own analyses to derive insights and enhance our datasets based on the use case. Your team’s ultimate goal is to deliver the highest-quality insights possible to our clients, who are building products that improve patient health. You will report to the Head of Data.
Responsibilities
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include the following:
• Design and conduct methodologically sound HEOR and RWE studies with multimodal clinical data to ensure timely understanding of burden of disease, unmet need, and the economic and clinical value proposition of different algorithmic and medical interventions;
• Author and review analytic plans, reports, and other study documents with independent, critical thinking to ensure completeness of output;
• Serve as project lead for HEOR and RWE studies and take ownership of timeline for deliverables associated with analyses, reporting, and publication or presentation of your modeling projects;
• Query Dandelion’s range of health data sources (e.g., EMRs, semi-structured reports, free-text clinical provider notes) to identify key data elements and create and enrich high-quality datasets for HEOR modeling and RWE analyses to support customers’ AI activities;
• Develop code and documentation to deliver high-quality and HIPAA-compliant data products on time to clients;
• Identify and resolve problems using your knowledge, background, and troubleshooting skills;
• Ensure accuracy, data integrity, and validity of data and analysis in all work;
• Provide support for technical product team to advance development of the suite of data-related product offerings;
• Summarize HEOR findings and recommendations into clear explanations and presentations for internal and external audiences that have a varying range of technical and clinical experience;
• Keep abreast of AI, HEOR, and therapeutic area advances in the US, collaborating with the Growth and Product teams to improve our study definitions and methodologies in relation to these trends.
You are not afraid to dig into massive, confusing, disorganized new datasets and get them under control. You are excited to learn new environments, languages, and skills. This is a small, early stage company with enormous ambitions and everyone pitches in across the team.
