When I was a kid, my parents would stop me from playing video games because they said games would distract me from more important stuff. Apparently I'm still in my rebellious years, cause at Joon Health (YC W22), we've been building a game for kids where they level up when they do real-life behaviors that are managed by parents and clinicians. Recently, we have been conducting a study to see the effects of our game! We're still collecting data from this 8-week study but an interim (not final) analysis of the data collected so far revealed that after 6 weeks of usage, kids show an over 20% decrease in symptoms. It is an exciting moment to be able to validate something the team has intuitively understood — the power of video games. We have spent the first few years working directly with parents and children to validate the core game and parent app. We're now building a connected care platform where health clinics leverage Joon's engagement outside of therapy. We've already onboarded 1000s of clinicians. We are now hiring for 2 new roles so our scrappy team of 10 can continue building for parents, kids, and clinicians! If working across 3 products at the intersection of gaming and healthcare sounds exciting to you, we'd love to hear from you. Word of warning, we move QUICK. * Senior React Native Engineer -- https://lnkd.in/g82S8BXZ * Founding Growth Manager -- https://lnkd.in/gxW7qDGZ We've raised $6.4M in funding from Y Combinator, MaC VC, Dune Ventures, Goodwater, Arash Ferdowsi, Alex Cohen, Hiten Shah, and more. You'd be joining a passionate (in-person in SF) team comprised of a game designer from Sega (Sonic) and LucasArts (Star Wars Force Unleashed), a leading researcher & clinical psychologist from UCF, and more!
