Senior Healthcare Scientist (Part-time, Equity only)

Healthcare ScientistEquity-Based Founding Role | HiWoxAbout HiWox

HiWox is building a personalised healthcare and wellness intelligence ecosystem that collects, structures and analyses data across 9 wellness dimensions to generate evidence-backed, explainable and personalised recommendations.

We are building a Healthcare Operating System that combines healthcare science, data, technology, devices and consultant expertise through a structured, rule-based intelligence engine.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Healthcare Scientist who can translate healthcare science and evidence into measurable frameworks, assessment systems, protocols and decision rules that can be integrated into the HiWox intelligence engine.

This is a founding-stage, equity-based opportunity for someone interested in building a new healthcare intelligence ecosystem rather than working within a conventional healthcare role.

Key Responsibilities

• Healthcare Framework Development
• Develop scientific frameworks across HiWox's 9 wellness dimensions.
• Define measurable health, wellness and lifestyle parameters.
• Structure assessments, scoring systems and health indicators.
• Identify relationships between different health and lifestyle parameters.
• Evidence & Research
• Conduct literature reviews and evidence-based research.
• Evaluate scientific validity of health parameters, interventions and recommendations.
• Identify relevant clinical guidelines, research findings and validated assessment tools.
• Maintain scientific references and evidence documentation.
• Healthcare Data & Intelligence
• Define what healthcare data should be collected, how it should be structured and how it should be interpreted.
• Convert scientific knowledge into deterministic, rule-based decision frameworks.
• Develop logic for risk indicators, wellness scores, recommendations and personalised interventions.
• Work with data scientists to ensure healthcare logic is scientifically sound and explainable.
• Assessment & Protocol Development
• Develop healthcare assessments, screening protocols and measurement frameworks.
• Define appropriate parameters, frequency and methods of assessment.
• Establish protocols for interpreting device, wearable, questionnaire and clinical-test data.
• Support standardisation of healthcare data collection.
• Personalised Recommendations
• Develop evidence-backed recommendation frameworks based on user conditions, behaviours, measurements and goals.
• Define appropriate interventions, lifestyle modifications, preventive practices and escalation criteria.
• Ensure recommendations are practical, measurable and explainable.
• Healthcare Technology Collaboration
• Work with Product Owners, Data Scientists, Developers and Healthcare Technology Experts.
• Translate healthcare requirements into product specifications and decision logic.
• Support integration of wearables, devices, sensors and clinical data.
• Validate healthcare-related product features and workflows.
• Scientific Validation
• Review and validate HiWox algorithms, assessments and recommendation frameworks.
• Identify gaps, inconsistencies and potential risks in healthcare logic.
• Establish validation methodologies for new healthcare frameworks.
• Maintain scientific quality and evidence standards across the platform.
• Research & Innovation
• Identify emerging healthcare technologies, diagnostics, digital health solutions and research opportunities.
• Support collaborations with hospitals, doctors, researchers, universities and healthcare institutions.
• Contribute to research publications, pilots, studies and potential IP development.
  
  

Ideal Candidate

• Healthcare Science, Medicine, Biomedical Science, Public Health, Life Sciences, Clinical Research or related background.
• Strong understanding of healthcare research and evidence-based practice.
• Experience in healthcare research, clinical research, health technology, preventive healthcare, diagnostics or healthcare innovation.
• Ability to convert complex healthcare knowledge into structured frameworks and measurable systems.
• Strong analytical, research and documentation skills.
• Comfortable working with technology, data and multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience with healthcare assessments, clinical parameters, guidelines or digital health is an advantage.
  
  

Engagement

• Equity-based founding position.
• Part-time contribution: approximately 20–25 hours/week.
• Remote/hybrid engagement.
• No fixed salary at the current stage.
• Fixed compensation will be introduced after funding and revenue stabilisation.
• Equity will be determined based on expertise, contribution, responsibility, commitment and long-term ownership.
• Core founding members will follow a 5-year vesting structure.
  
  

Key Outcome

Build the scientific and healthcare foundation of HiWox — converting healthcare evidence, research and clinical knowledge into structured data frameworks, assessments, decision rules and explainable personalised recommendations that can operate within the HiWox intelligence engine.
