What We Do and Who We Are

Despite advances in our understanding of respiratory disease, and the development of more effective medications, asthma and COPD remain significant and costly public health problems. We’re turning the corner on these diseases with a new approach that combines smartphone applications, advanced analytics and snap-on inhaler sensors that track when people use their inhaled medications.

Our FDA-cleared geomedicine platform, available in both English and Spanish, is designed to help individuals and families better manage their disease with less effort. We remind them to take daily preventive medications, reveal insights about patterns of symptoms and triggers, and provide personalized feedback and coaching to improve their ability to successfully manage these chronic diseases.

We work directly with healthcare providers and insurance companies, and help physicians and care teams identify people who need more help controlling the disease before they suffer a severe and costly exacerbation. We also partner with public health organizations to provide timely, comprehensive and objective data on the burden of respiratory disease in our communities.

We’re doing things that have never been done, and inventing new tools that put to work the latest and most effective science we have. We’ve been recognized for our work by industry, academic and medical leaders, and in mainstream media such as Scientific American, The Economist, Washington Post, Fast Company, Wired, Huffington Post and more. But we’re just getting started.

More About Us

Founded in 2010, by a team with long experience in respiratory disease and medical software, Asthmapolis is now backed by The Social+Capital Partnership, California HealthCare Foundation and other investors. Our clients include organizations like Dignity Health, Amerigroup Florida and the City of Louisville. We were recognized in the TEDMED Innovation Showcase and Bluetooth Breakthrough Product awards, and our CEO was named a White House Champion of Change.

We’re proud of our success so far, but there’s much more important work to do. To accomplish that, we’re building a team of talented and self-motivated people who are deeply connected to our mission and vision. We expect everyone who joins us will help catalyze our vision, and contribute to our momentum and progress.

If you join our exciting, high profile, venture-backed start up, you’ll work with a varied group of smart and thoughtful people – located in Madison, Boston and San Francisco – characterized by energy and tenacity.  Every member of our team is demanding of him/herself and each other, and motivated by our potential to create magic in the healthcare industry.

We’re excited by the process of inventing and developing technology and services to solve the complex problems of chronic disease. Yet we hold an instinct for simplicity and we each share a vision that sees technology in the service of health, rather than as an end in itself. We work best with those who bring a combination of creativity, persistence, and hustle. Relentless in effort, we’re also motivated by camaraderie and loyalty to our vision of a world free of respiratory disease. We’d love to have you join us on our quest to create more symptom-free days.

In addition to the rare opportunity to apply your varied talents to achieving a devastatingly important mission, working in a cool city, with inspiring colleagues, you’ll also receive market-based compensation that includes incentives and equity participation for all employees, at all levels, without regard to position.
