agilon health is transforming health care for seniors by empowering primary-care physicians to focus on the entire health of their patients. Through our platform and partnership model, agilon health is leading the nation in creating the system we need – one built on the value of care, not the volume of fees. We honor the independence of local physicians and serve as their long-term partner so they can be the physicians they trained to be. agilon is built for physicians by physicians, as the patient-physician relationship is the cornerstone of care. We allow primary care physicians to take the long view of their relationships with patients, and to be confident in the long-term financial viability of their own practices. We do this through a Total Care Model that maintains the independence of physicians; unites them in a network of like-minded leaders; and integrates all of the components of a global risk business model into a single platform.

Backed by $40M and elite Silicon Valley VCs and strategics, HealthRhythms is a pioneering AI/behavioral sensing solution addressing the dual crises in mental health: insufficient access and lack of intervention effectiveness measurement. The market now recognizes that there is no health without mental health. By combining the multi-dimensional sensing capabilities of mobile phones with the power of embedded and cloud computing platforms and novel AI algorithms, we continuously, objectively, and accurately measure mental health status for the very first time. We are realizing the vision of precision medicine for mental health by anticipating clinical deterioration before it reaches crisis proportions and by delivering personalized, just-in-time interventions based on each patient’s own behavioral profile. We have a head start advantage of 35 years of empirical evidence, 957 peer reviewed papers between our four co-founders, a universally recognized best-in-class team, robust IP portfolio, and the largest mental health AI data set. UCHealth ($6B) declared "HealthRhythms will change the face of care," and its #1 strategic priority is to deploy our platform to its 2.5M patients. Otsuka ($18B pharma) invested in HealthRhythms after assessing 500+ mental health companies, recognizing our potential to revolutionize the industry.

We believe in a world where all the friction that gets in the way of hiring is replaced by conversations — freeing people up to spend time with people, not software. Our conversational recruiting software is built to automate the tasks hiring teams dont have time for — like screening, interview scheduling, and onboarding — to save hours of time and take candidates from hello to hired faster than ever. Weve helped thousands of employers build world class hiring experiences, like Unilever, Medtronic, Nestle, General Motors, FedEx, and Lowes. And we’ve been honored to win several awards, including HR Executive Top Product, Brandon Hall Group’s Gold Award for Best Advance in AI for Business Impact, and one of Forbes’ Top 500 Startups to Work For. Please note: Paradox will never ask you for your credit card or bank account information in connection with our recruitment process.
