AI Scientist

About the company At Covera Health, we’re on a mission to improve healthcare by making every diagnosis more accurate.

Every year, millions of patients receive imaging that shapes life changing medical decisions. Yet too often, important findings are missed, patients struggle to access high quality imaging, and the healthcare system treats radiology like a commodity instead of one of the most critical moments in a patient’s care journey.

We’re changing that.

Covera combines clinical expertise, advanced AI, and one of the industry’s largest radiology quality datasets to help detect disease earlier, improve diagnostic accuracy, and give clinicians greater confidence in every decision they make. Better diagnoses lead to better treatment, fewer unnecessary procedures, lower healthcare costs, and, most importantly, better outcomes for patients.

In 2026, Covera and Medmo came together to create the first platform designed to support the entire radiology journey. From helping patients find and schedule high quality imaging, to coordinating care, to ensuring the accuracy of every diagnosis, we’re building a connected experience that simply hasn’t existed before.

Backed by Insight Partners, our platform supports nearly 6 million people across Fortune 10 and Fortune 100 employers, three of the five largest national health plans, and thousands of value based primary care physicians.

This is an exciting moment to join Covera. We’re building technology that is helping detect serious conditions earlier, improving the quality of care for millions of patients, and redefining what healthcare can be. If you’re excited by meaningful work, ambitious teammates, and the opportunity to help save lives through better healthcare, we’d love to meet you.
