Hello Heart is a fast-growing, mission-driven, AI-native company transforming how heart health is managed. Our vision is simple but ambitious: to make heart attacks and strokes a thing of the past.

We do this by focusing exclusively on heart health, tackling the world’s leading cause of death and the single largest cost driver in U.S. healthcare. Built on one of the largest and fastest-growing datasets in heart health, our AI-powered platform combines a seamless at-home experience with connected devices, real-time risk detection, and personalized interventions that help people understand their risk earlier and take action sooner.

The result is a solution that delivers twice the clinical impact of traditional approaches, along with measurable cost savings for employers and health plans. Today, Hello Heart is the official cardiac prevention program for 80% of large U.S. health plans, is recognized as best-in-class by the American Heart Association, and was named one of Fast Company’s 2026 Most Innovative Companies.

As an AI-first company, we expect employees across functions to be AI fluent and to use AI in thoughtful, practical, and responsible ways. We’re looking for people who are excited to apply AI in their work and help build the future of heart health.
