More than sweet offices and quirky perks, the technology sector’s biggest draw for many is the chance to change how entire industries are run for the better — and few sectors offer greater opportunities for impact than healthcare. Whether you’re a developer or designer, or if ops or sales are more your jam, Chicago’s health tech scene is filled to the brim with opportunities to get in on the ground floor. Here are some open jobs you might do well to check out.
What they do: As the healthcare industry shifts toward paying providers based on outcomes rather than procedures, caregivers have more incentives than ever to help patients take charge of their own recoveries. Emmi Solutions is the maker of a multimedia patient engagement platform that aids that process.
