What Healthleap is building
Healthleap reads every adult inpatient's chart every day and writes a risk score into the EHR flowsheet each morning. It pulls clinical concepts out of clinician notes and structured data. It started with malnutrition: up to half of inpatients are at risk, but by Healthleap's numbers fewer than 9% get diagnosed. The registered dietitian's routine doesn't change. The day just starts with the highest-acuity patients at the top of the list instead of a stack of false flags. The positioning is deliberate. Healthleap sits upstream of clinical documentation integrity (CDI) and coding: it flags at-risk patients on day one, before those workflows engage, and feeds them a cleaner signal. Better identification leads to more appropriate diagnoses, which lead to severity capture, shorter stays and reimbursement. That chain is why a CFO signs the contract and not just the nutrition director. The evidence is unusually strong for clinical AI. Healthleap's peer-reviewed study in Applied Clinical Informatics, co-authored with leaders from Cedars-Sinai, Johns Hopkins and Stanford, reports 88% higher sensitivity than nurse-administered screening and identification 4 days earlier, across 166k+ admissions. Malnutrition was first and delirium second. Aspiration pneumonia, AKI, CHF readmissions and pressure injuries come next, and the CEO says health systems are asking for 40 more conditions.
Why this matters
The ROI is measured, not projected. Healthleap reports $23.8M in annualized financial impact at a single Penn Medicine site and 1.6 fewer hospital days for each flagged patient. Cedars-Sinai reports 39% more appropriate diagnoses with the same staff and $11M in annual impact. Per TechCrunch, Healthleap is live in 50+ hospitals including Penn Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, Intermountain, Houston Methodist and Emory, and revenue grew 10x in the past year. The CEO says that came from 3 hospital partners a year ago. The insight is that hospitals don't lack data, they lack the hours to read it. A model that does the daily reading across 40+ conditions, inside the EHR, is a margin story for hospitals, not just a clinical one.

Hiring outlook
The CEO's announcement says 'we're hiring across all roles', and the Ashby board backs it up with nine live postings: Full Stack Engineer ($175K–$275K), Senior Data Engineer ($175K–$275K), Forward Deployed Engineer ($200K–$275K), Technical Product Manager ($160K–$250K), Head of Technical Implementation ($180K–$250K), Growth PMM, Clinical Engagement Manager, Customer Success Director and RVP Sales. All are SF except the RVP role. The job posts say they're live at 40+ hospitals and plan to add another 100.

How to actually get hired at Healthleap
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Healthleap is <50 people. No recruiter, no HR. Your application goes to a founder juggling everything. Cold outreach is how you actually get seen.

Founding team
Josiah has been building companies since his teens. He studied mathematics, statistics and computational programming at the University of the Free State in South Africa and was a Mathematics Olympiad silver medalist. He co-founded Healthleap with his sister Jemima to turn her dietitian tool into a hospital-wide safety net, and has grown it from 3 to 50+ hospital partners in the past year.
Jemima is a registered clinical dietitian, RD(SA), who spent her career watching patients get reached too late or not at all. She built NutriLeap, a simple tool to help fellow dietitians get to the right patients faster. It spread among dietitians and became the seed of Healthleap's malnutrition screening product.
What to show them
Build a small FHIR R4 ingestion service against a public sandbox (e.g. SMART Health IT) that pulls inpatient encounters, notes and labs, maps them into a clean daily patient snapshot, and has monitors for the failure modes their posts name: late feeds, changed fields, and numbers that look wrong.
A cold email that works at Healthleap
What Healthleap screens for
Sequoia (Roelof Botha and Alfred Lin) and First Round co-led a seed, and Hummingbird stacked a $30M A on top, for a company with peer-reviewed sensitivity data and an ROI floor written into its contracts. Investors are backing a product that already sells on CFO math. The bottleneck now is plainly integration and data: the FDE and Data Engineer posts both say each hospital has its own systems, API quirks and workflows, and they plan to add 100 hospitals. Candidates who have taken an Epic/Cerner/FHIR integration live are the scarcest people for them right now.

Don't make these mistakes
'AI will transform healthcare' pitches. Jemima is a clinical dietitian who built the first version of this tool for her colleagues, and the company's own line is 'earn trust with evidence, not adjectives'. Anything that sounds like a model demo with no workflow or outcome attached will miss. Also don't pitch them on replacing clinicians: their framing is that software does the reading and clinicians do the caring.
