Are you seeking a career with purpose?

Do you want to make a difference to the lives of millions of people?

Then join Neuronostics

Award-winning and rapidly growing, our mission is to enable fast and accurate diagnosis and treatment for everyone with a suspected neurological condition. Our vision is to create accessible technologies and deliver digital solutions that release the power of mathematical modelling and data science tools to benefit people with neurological conditions, their loved ones and those responsible for caring for them.

We are developing an exciting platform solution that we believe will have a significant impact on quality of life: accelerating time to diagnosis, reducing uncertainty and increasing objectivity in clinical decision making and management. Enabling seamless integration between clinical and at-home measurements, our first clinical product is BioEP: the biomarker of epilepsy, which can reveal the risk of future seizures from short segments of routinely collected brain data.

Our values

We work in partnership with specialist healthcare professionals, researchers and, most importantly, those with direct lived experience of neurological conditions.
