Ideal Medtech is a clinical stage medical device startup looking to control every feasible physiological parameter in the hospital -- starting with glucose. This technology has the potential to save tens of thousands of lives a year, billions of healthcare dollars, and thousands of nursing hours.

We're looking to hire a senior engineer with experience developing medical devices in the US or European Union. You'd be working directly with me, the technical founder, owning product development and documentation required for three Class II 510(k) submissions (pumps, control software, and maybe helping a strategic as needed with sensors). Some (but not all) standards you should be familiar with: 60601, 62304, FHIR

You would be working directly with a team at a contract manufacturer (CM), and would be involved in high-level technical decision making, software development, and helping the CM with documentation.

As an early hire, you'd have the option to take equity as part of your payment.

If any of the following skills describe you, feel free to send me an email (see profile):

- Medical Device Cybersecurity

- Firmware Development

- Formal Verification

- Physiological Closed-Loop Control

- Knowledge-Based Systems

- Reinforcement Learning

Please include your CV, salary expectations, timeline for hiring, and any open-source code you're proud of and would want to talk about!

That being said, commoditization of a fully closed loop insulin delivery system would be a godsend for the millions of people living with completely uncontrolled diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes accounts for between 30-40% of raw healthcare spend every year, and it's growing. Primary care like this will keep patients adhering to it out of the hospital and improve their lives immeasurably.

So no, I wouldn't compare this to an insulin pump alone. It's like comparing the latest self driving cars out of Waymo to the cruise control on a 1994 Corolla.

The results (66% TIR 70-180mg/dL) aren't incredible, but believe it or not are far better than most diabetics are able to get. For reference, a person without diabetes will typically have numbers in the 95% or higher range.

We're currently finishing a study in the hospital to improve on these results in a big way!

Are there any architectures which would allow you to monolithize services like this? Changing product requirements sometimes mean you've just arrived at a better abstraction, which may need you to combine services directly.

Also the server itself is my ancient T530, which is still quite snappy on Arch!

Here's the remote code, for anyone interested: https://github.com/ijustlovemath/arduino-remote

We think good glucose control is at the center of a whole host of medical issues, inside and outside the hospital. Bringing critically ill patients under control has been found to reduce mortality rates by up to 30%, results which have been repeated several times in thousands of patients. These drugs, which are less intense than insulin therapy, confer similar glucoregulatory effects, which has all sorts of cascading hormone benefits etc.

Exciting stuff, thanks for sharing!
