Our Team

Dandelion Health was founded in 2020 by experts in health tech, hospital systems, academia, and clinical AI. We are building the world’s largest AI training and clinical development platform. Today, we pride ourselves on our ability to make data access as easy as possible for AI developers, pharma, and medical devices, while raising the bar for patient safety and data quality. Tomorrow, we will be the place where any healthcare organization can go to build a responsible clinical AI product. Our culture is all about learning from data and improving, so we can help our clients improve health through AI. Meet the rest of our team here.

Our Data

We partner with health systems to safely and ethically make their de-identified patient data available to AI developers. Currently, the data is acquired from Sharp HealthCare, Sanford Health, and Texas Health Resources – with two additional U.S. health systems joining soon.

We have clinical data dating back to July 1, 2016. This data represents over 10 million patients and includes but is not limited to:

• Structured data (e.g., 100% of the EMR, including some claims)

• Unstructured text (e.g., clinical notes, radiology reports)

• Images (e.g., DICOM, pathology)

• Video

• Waveforms

• Continuous streaming monitoring data

The Role

You are an aspiring health care data scientist who has some experience with clinical and electronic health record data. Your primary responsibility will be to develop and analyze AI-ready datasets to provide key insights using multimodal data. You will curate datasets by identifying patient subpopulations or disease cohorts, and pool multimodal data to drive rapid exploratory AI/ML and Real-World Evidence analyses, model experimentation, and/or model validation. There will also be a core project that runs through the internship. You will fully own this project so you can clearly point to it as an example of your impact in this role.

Your team’s ultimate goal is to deliver the highest-quality data possible to our clients, who are building products that improve patient health, and demonstrate the value of these data. You will report to a Senior Research Data Scientist. Internship dates will be flexible based on candidate availability, but the intent is to have internships that last a minimum of 2 months.

Qualifications

• For undergraduate students, we will consider rising 3rd or 4th year students for internships.

• For graduate students, those pursuing an M.S. or PhD degree in a relevant field, such as Data Science, Biomedical Informatics, Computer Science, Biostatistics etc. are encouraged to apply.

• Background in statistical modeling and data science / analytics

• Able to code in Python and SQL

• Strong technical writing, editing, and communication skills along with a collaborative mindset

You should have an interest in AI in general and specifically in healthcare. The role will be dynamic so having the flexibility and motivation to not only cope with ambiguity and varied work, but actively enjoy it, is a key component.

Also, the role will need someone with excellent communication and self motivation as we are a geographically distributed team.
