About GYANT:

GYANT is changing the way health systems connect with patients. 

We believe that artificial intelligence can transform the patient experience at different points along the patient journey. Our technology helps patients understand where they need to go when they feel sick or there is a health emergency; when they are in the clinic, we capture the important details and prepare the medical team with that information; and when a patient is recovering from an operation, we make sure the recovery goes smoothly.

Founded in 2016, GYANT is a small and nimble multi-cultural and cross-disciplinary team where each member is an expert in their discipline. We make space for team members to propose how we can reach our strategic goals and we’re looking for people who get satisfaction from solving problems. We value diverse perspectives, candid feedback, and we’re excited to bring on team members who will work passionately towards our mission.

GYANT’s Values:

- Focus on impact - We want to make a difference in the world of healthcare and are motivated to help people at scale.

- Freedom & accountability - We trust each other to make independent decisions and hold each other accountable for results.

- Meritocracy of ideas - Everyone at GYANT has a voice, and we make decisions based on objective criteria to implement the best ideas.

- Candor - We give and accept candid, respectful feedback in service of personal and professional development.

- Personal development - We strive to better ourselves and help each other grow.
