Digital Health Advisor to Obesity Medicine Startup

Overview

We are building a next-generation virtual obesity medicine clinic that integrates three proven components into one patient experience: physician-prescribed GLP-1 medications, virtual dietitian coaching, and medically tailored meals. Delivering this complex model requires a world-class digital product that drives patient engagement, supports our clinical teams, and captures meaningful data. This venture is being launched out of the venture studio of Healthcare Shares, an early-stage healthcare venture capital firm.

The Opportunity:

Master Patient Engagement in Virtual Care

We are seeking a seasoned Digital Health Advisor—a successful founder, product leader, or senior executive from a leading virtual care company—to join our Board of Advisors. You have "seen this movie before" and can provide invaluable strategic guidance as we build our patient-facing product and technology platform. Your role will be to act as a strategic sparring partner for our executive team, particularly our CTO and COO, helping us navigate the common pitfalls of digital health product development.

You will help us answer critical questions:
How do we build a truly engaging and retentive patient experience? What are the best practices for integrating synchronous and asynchronous care? How should we prioritize our product roadmap for maximum impact?

• Advise on our overall product strategy, including roadmap prioritization, feature development, and user experience (UX/UI) design for our patient and provider-facing applications.
• Provide expert insights on best practices for driving long-term patient engagement, adherence, and retention in a virtual chronic care management setting.
• Offer guidance on key technology decisions, including buy-vs-build trade-offs, vendor selection, and platform architecture to ensure scalability.
• Share lessons learned from your experience scaling a successful digital health venture, helping our team anticipate challenges and accelerate our growth.
• Participate in quarterly virtual advisory board meetings, providing candid feedback and strategic counsel on our product and technology direction.

• Senior leadership experience (e.g., Founder, CEO, CPO, CTO) at a successful, venture-backed digital health or virtual care company that has achieved significant scale.
• Deep expertise in digital product management, patient engagement strategies, and the nuances of building consumer-grade experiences in a clinical context.
• A strategic thinker with a strong "product sense" and the ability to connect user needs with business goals and technical feasibility.
• A generous mentor who is passionate about helping early-stage companies succeed.

• Be a Kingmaker: Leverage your hard-won experience to help a promising, well-resourced startup avoid common mistakes and accelerate its path to success.
• Influence Product Vision: Play a key role in shaping the core patient experience of a platform poised to serve hundreds of thousands of people.
• Strategic Impact: Provide high-leverage advice that will have an outsized impact on the company's trajectory.
• Equity Partnership: Gain a meaningful advisory stake in what we believe will be a category-defining company in metabolic health.

Healthcare Shares values diversity, equity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to building a diverse advisory board.
