Who We Are
We created Lucem Health with Mayo Clinic in 2021 to make clinical AI useful and effective in the real world so it can fulfill its immense potential to help transform healthcare. Our vision is a world in which clinicians detect problems before they become life threatening and patients get world class care, everywhere. Our mission is to revolutionize care delivery through the practical application of clinical AI.
After a long journey of discovery, we are now focused on helping healthcare providers deliver more proactive care using a unique approach to early disease detection that is easy to implement and does not require clinicians to change how they practice medicine. Given that providers have been struggling financially for some years now, we have also developed an innovative business model in which we partner with life sciences companies (pharma/med device) to fund deployment of our early disease detection at providers.
In effect, our business is now about aligning provider and life sciences incentives to deliver better, more proactive care that changes, and even saves, patient lives.
Role summary
We are assembling a Health System Operations advisory board of uncompromising leaders who set a new standard for care delivery.

You are a seasoned executive who knows how to navigate complex provider environments, and you will serve as a high-impact sounding board and strategic partner to our leadership team.
