Who Are We?
Prolaio believes that continuous learning and collaboration can make a significant difference in how heart care is administered. We are creating smarter ways to address heart disease and heart risks by integrating a connected platform enabled by smart data science to help patients access the care and attention that will inform better treatments and outcomes.
We envision a future where care teams and hospitals can be more effective, the healthcare system can be more efficient, and patients have a better care experience and more fulfilling lives.
This is precision cardiology, and we know it’s within reach.
What Will You Do?
The Overview
The Analytics Engineer Intern will support the Data Services team by developing foundational analytical frameworks for our flagship PACE (Proactive Adherence & Continuity Engine) project in decentralized clinical trials. The intern will work with real historical clinical trial data to explore early indicators of participant and site-level non-adherence and contribute to proof-of-concept analyses that inform future product and platform development.
This role is designed to provide hands-on experience working at the intersection of data analytics, clinical trials, and tool design, while delivering meaningful, production-relevant insights.
The Specifics
- Conduct exploratory data analysis on historical clinical trial datasets to identify potential adherence risk signals at the participant and site levels.
- Develop and document an initial analytical framework for adherence risk signal detection, including assumptions, limitations, and data dependencies.
- Build proof-of-concept analyses or notebooks demonstrating how adherence risk signals could be operationalized in future monitoring tools.
- Collaborate with Data Services leadership and cross-functional partners (Product, Operations) to align analytical findings with real-world workflows and intervention strategies.
- Prepare and deliver a final presentation summarizing findings, feasibility conclusions, and recommendations for next development phases.
