Millions of people turn to search engines and social media for medical information, but these platforms can be overwhelming and filled with misinformation. That's why Roon was created.
Our interdisciplinary team of doctors, patients, caregivers, public health experts, designers, engineers, content creators, and ex-Pinterest executives has come together to reimagine how people access health information, with trust and expert curation at the forefront.
Today, Roon is a video-based medical Q&A platform, providing trusted answers to health questions. Thousands of experts from top medical institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UCSF, Cornell, UPenn, Duke, and Columbia have contributed content and are sharing Roon with their patients.
Our ambition is to become the doctor in your pocket for all of health, blending world-class expertise with AI-driven assistance and guidance. And we’re just getting started.
Work with our CTO and engineering lead on overall application architecture. We use PostgreSQL, Python (Django Rest Framework), and the Google Cloud Platform (specifically, Google Cloud Run) to bring our application to life. So far, we’ve built a search engine and an AI agent within a deeply empathetic app that “understands” what our caregivers and patients are going through. You’re going to help us scale that, and make it even better. We’re also building tools for medical professionals to answer commonly asked questions.
