Liom is a Swiss health-tech startup dedicated to revolutionizing the field of personalized health monitoring. Our objective is to develop the first health wearable monitoring glucose non-invasively. We will launch our wearable as a consumer product in the United States and Europe in 2028. Our team consists of over 35 staff, with deep expertise in product development, and the required engineering as well as scientific disciplines. We are operating out of our lab facilities in Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland.
Your mission
Liom is preparing to 100× its data acquisition capacity. Our visual health‑data—combined with rich metadata—is the foundation for real‑world clinical insights and downstream data‑science models.
