Digital health internship

Digital Health internship at Pal (full-time or part-time)

Today, more than 137 million families worldwide are affected by serious illnesses like cancer, cardiovascular illnesses, and advanced neurological conditions. Most are expected to manage complex care at home, without the tools, guidance, or support to do so confidently.

The result? A system that is costly, fragmented, and inequitable for patients, families, and clinicians.

As healthcare systems struggle to keep up with rising needs, digital solutions aren’t just promising - they’re essential.

And that’s where we come in.

Pal is transforming how we care for people with serious illness at home.

We’re building the first fully digital platform for patients, families, and clinicians, designed to support families, detect complications earlier, and enable proactive care outside of hospitals. We focus on the months and years between diagnosis and end of life, when palliative care is most needed but often unavailable.

Our family-facing app supports people with day-to-day care and symptom tracking. Our clinician dashboard uses AI to detect early warning signs and prevent complications before they escalate.

We are now accepting internship and working student applications, and we’re looking for passionate people to join our team.
