Job Description
About Circadia Health
Circadia Health is a growth-stage healthcare AI company on a mission to prevent avoidable hospitalizations and transform senior-care operations. Our Circadia Intelligence Platform combines:
- Contactless sensing that monitors respiration and motion with medical-grade accuracy
- Native predictive models that detect 85% of preventable adverse events several days in advance
Enterprise integrations that operationalize predictions directly inside EHR, care-coordination, billing, and compliance workflows
Today, our technology touches 40,000+ post-acute patients daily across skilled-nursing, home-health, and home-care networks. We are backed by leading healthcare and AI investors and headquartered in El Segundo, CA.
About the Role
Transform patient care with AI — at the bedside and in the home. As a Circadia Nurse Practitioner, you'll work across both our skilled nursing and Home Health AI Care programs, seeing patients first, acting on predictive health signals in real time, and coaching facility teams to turn data into earlier interventions that reduce preventable readmissions.
In our SNF partner facilities, you'll round on new admits, facility-flagged patients, and Circadia alerts. In the home health setting, you'll bring that same proactive model directly into patients' homes, extending high-quality care beyond the walls of a facility.
Throughout, you'll blend direct patient care with tech-to-bedside integration through hands-on training, live demos, and shadowed assessments.
Location: Chicago, IL (multiple facilities)
What You’ll Do
Direct patient care: Conduct initial and follow-up assessments on flagged residents; initiate/adjust plans of care; complete consent; coordinate with facility providers.
Tech → bedside integration: Train and coach staff at the point of care, standardize use of Circadia into clinical workflows.
Data into action: Interpret trend-based insights, prioritize high-risk patients, and drive timely interventions to prevent decline.
Close the loop: Complete documentation/charts within the same day
High-volume rounding: Efficiently complete visits across designated SNFs (typically 25+/day where appropriate), focusing on new admits, facility-flagged patients, and Circadia alerts.
Quality & product feedback: Surface field insights to improve workflows and tech integration in a clinical setting
Mentor & collaborate: Support NP onboarding, share best practices, and partner with clinical ops/product teams.
Regional flexibility: Cover SNF sites and patient homes within a 30–40 mile radius. For locations outside that radius, mileage and lodging are covered per company policy.
