WHO WE ARE 

Noora Health's mission is to improve outcomes and strengthen health systems by equipping family caregivers with the skills they need to care for their loved ones. Founded in 2014, Noora Health turns hospital hallways and waiting rooms into classrooms by tapping into the most compassionate resources available for the patient's care: their own family.

With support from governments and partners in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal, Noora Health has trained over 35 million caregivers and patients across more than 12,600 facilities using their flagship caregiver education and training curriculum, the Care Companion Program (CCP).

In a cohort of patients, the CCP reduced post-surgical cardiac complications by 71%, maternal complications by 12%, newborn complications by 16%, and newborn readmissions by 56%.

Noora Health was honored as a
TED 2022 Audacious Project Grantee
and recipient of the
2022 Skoll Foundation Award for Social Innovation. Featuring Edith Elliott and Shahed Alam, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs, Noora Health's mission took the spotlight at
TED 2022
and was also featured in a
2022 Skoll video.

WHAT THE PLATFORMS & ENGINEERING TEAM DOES

Noora Health's Platforms & Engineering team continuously innovates and builds new technology and products to improve health outcomes and save lives. We serve patients and family caregivers across India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal throughout their caregiving journeys. We also build solutions for frontline healthcare workers and internal engineering systems that power our larger programmatic work.

We spend a lot of time understanding user challenges before folding up our sleeves to design, develop, and deploy digital solutions that address their needs. We run multiple experiments to validate our hypothesis, adopting the successful ones for wider implementation. Additionally, we visualize complex, voluminous data to gain insights that drive strategic and operational decisions across the organization.

• Deep experience working with React-Native (or optionally, ) and modern Javascript / Typescript.
• Experience with responsive design, cross-browser compatibility and RESTful API integration.
• Familiarity and moderate experience building RESTful APIs and debugging performance bottlenecks
