Experienced Data Scientist Needed for Healthcare & AI Consumer Apps
Upwork
We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist with a strong background in healthcare and AI-powered consumer applications. The ideal candidate will have expertise in analyzing healthcare data, building predictive models, and developing algorithms that enhance user experience. Your role will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive insights and improve our product offerings.
About the Projects
Analyze user scan and submission data to surface insights (e.g., most common harmful ingredients, patterns in ratings)
Support personalization models (e.g., content or product recommendations)
Help clean, structure, and enrich product ingredient data for downstream AI grading
Collaborate with AI/prompt engineers to improve model accuracy and consistency
Work with structured and unstructured clinical data (e.g., brain scans, assessments, EHR/EMR records, physician notes)
Design predictive models for clinical outcomes (e.g., risk scoring, treatment recommendations, triage support)
Collaborate with clinical experts to define relevant features, outcomes, and explainability requirements
Ensure compliance with clinical data handling (HIPAA, PHI standards)
Ideal Candidate Has
3+ years experience as a Data Scientist, preferably in healthcare, digital health, or AI-driven apps
Strong skills in Python, Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, Jupyter
Experience building classification models, working with text + tabular data, and interpretable ML
Familiarity with LLM-powered applications (e.g., OpenAI, embeddings, prompt optimization — nice to have)
Solid understanding of data cleaning, feature engineering, and model evaluation
Bonus: Experience working with OCR (Google Vision) or NLP tasks related to ingredients or health content
Bonus: Familiarity with, psychiatry, or brain health indicators
What Success Looks Like
A robust data pipeline for clean and labeled product/ingredient data
Predictive models supporting clinical workflows with clear explanations for physicians
Actionable user-level insights that make our consumer app smarter over time
Measurable improvements in model precision, rating quality, and personalization
If you have a passion for applying data science in the healthcare sector and possess a strong analytical mindset, we would love to hear from you.
