Job Description
Who we are
Were building Mo a health companion for everyone.
Were a small team within Alan on a mission to redefine the future of care by democratizing access to medical expertise. We are building Mo an intelligent empathetic multimodal LLM-based conversational AI assistant able to prescribe triage and proactively follow up on care.
Imagine giving every person in the world instant 24/7 access to personalised medical expertise - through chat voice or video. Thats what we are building .
We kicked off the project in 2023. After a strong R&D phase were now testing real products with real users and preparing to scale fast.

Push the frontier of voice-based agents for healthcare Youll research and deploy streaming speech recognition and context-aware state switching enabling Mo to handle real-time dialogue like a human clinician would.
Develop eval frameworks for clinical AI Youll design and run evals by hand and programmatically to understand where our agents fail and improve them.
