Prolaio

Recently, the most impactful project I've tackled has been the design and initial build-out of the Prolaio Workbench. This isn't just another internal tool; it's the core platform where our clinical and operational users will manage their workflows and support patients, with the goal of improving remote patient monitoring and clinical research studies.

What made this project so "cool" was the immersive, user-centered design approach we took from day one. We didn't just start by building; we lived and breathed user research, deeply understanding the intricate jobs to be done for our diverse customer base.

This involved extensive interviews and shadowing to map out complex clinical and operational workflows. This deep dive directly informed our design decisions, positioning Workbench to help clinicians and researchers solve real-world problems. We embraced iteration, building out concepts quickly, gathering feedback and refining constantly.

This approach, driven by user insights, not only led to a more effective product but also pushed my professional growth. I honed my skills in translating complex user needs into intuitive digital experiences and learned to prioritize features.

We at Prolaio are on a mission to address the number one leading cause of death in the United States — cardiovascular disease. Each person's heart beats differently and every beat may tell us a small part of their story. At Prolaio, we analyze every beat to put together their story, extracting personalized insights that help us better understand who they are and how their physiology behaves in their condition.

With this information, we intend to bring cardiology to the age of personalized medicine. This ambitious mission shapes everything we do. Prolaio's culture revolves around our core value "Patient at Heart," ensuring every decision prioritizes what's best for the individual patient.

This patient-centered culture, combined with our drive towards cutting-edge innovation, ensures no workday feels the same. This made joining Prolaio an easy decision — it's rare to find a place where advanced technology directly translates to the potential to improve lives.

That combination of purpose and innovation was irresistible.

I see myself as a cardiac translator, directly advancing our mission to bring cardiology into the age of personalized medicine. Hearts speak in signals, both electrical and mechanical, but patients fighting cardiovascular disease need answers in plain English; answers they can understand and act upon.

Every algorithm we build translates these cardiac conversations into clear, personalized insights that bring hope to patients and their families. Recently, our insights flagged a patient whose heart was beating dangerously slowly — they needed help quickly.

We translated subtle changes in their heart's electrical story into medical insights into the patient's condition. That moment perfectly captured our mission: taking every individual heartbeat and turning it into personalized medicine that gives patients the clarity and hope they need.

Don't just look at our technology; look at why we built it. Whether you are looking for a role in engineering, operations or marketing, if you're genuinely excited about contributing to the fight against cardiovascular disease, you'll thrive here. We hire people who see patients behind every project, not just tasks to complete.

Be ready to adapt quickly — we're pioneering personalized cardiac medicine in a fast-moving space where priorities can shift as we learn from real patient data. During interviews, share examples of how you've successfully navigated change while staying focused on meaningful outcomes.

Most importantly, be authentic about what drives you. We can teach specific skills, but we can't teach someone to care deeply about our mission. If the thought of your work — whether coding, strategy, partnerships or operations — directly improving patients' lives motivates you, then you're already aligned with our 'Patient at Heart' culture.
