    ABOUT EQUALIZE HEALTH 

    Equalize Health believes that good health is a human right. The need for quality healthcare spans the economic spectrum. Regardless of where you are from and what you do, health is critical to well-being, productivity, and autonomy. For people to live their best lives, they must be healthy. We exist to design and deliver medical technologies that close the quality healthcare gap for underserved populations.

    We are a portfolio design company that prioritizes the user in the development of products, and have been recognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative organizations and the World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer. The scaling of our first product, Brilliance, is monumental in global health – it is one of the earliest examples of a nonprofit-developed global health product scaling through the market and impacting the world’s poorest patients. Equalize Health now has a portfolio addressing four critical health issues. To date, over 1 million patients have been treated with a Equalize Health device, and we have had sales in 60+ countries.

    Over the next three years, Equalize Health is expanding our product portfolio to 6+ product lines that will address critical health needs and close the quality gap in newborn health. After that, we will accelerate portfolio expansion to close ten globally critical health gaps by the year 2030, the target year of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. 

    To apply, please submit your resume and cover letter briefly explaining why you’re a fit and why you’re interested. If you have a portfolio or sample work to highlight your skills, please include with your submission.
