About Hello Heart:

Hello Heart is on a mission to make heart attacks a thing of the past.

We’re an AI company focused exclusively on heart health, building a platform that predicts and prevents cardiac events before they happen—identifying risk up to 10 days in advance versus 10 years in traditional clinical models.

This is already working at scale. Hello Heart has been shown to reduce inpatient hospital days by 47% and deliver ~$1,800 in annual savings per member. Hello Heart is the cardiac prevention partner to over 80% of large U.S. health plans and serves hundreds of public and private employers.

We’re defining how the #1 cause of death—heart disease—is managed in the AI era. Join us.

Lead negotiation of customer-facing contractual provisions relating to data rights, AI and machine learning usage, product functionality, and operational restrictions, and advise on the development of terms of service, disclosures, disclaimers, and other legal protections designed to support business objectives and mitigate litigation and enforcement risk.
• Partner with Security and Compliance to support responsible AI governance initiatives, including review of customer-specific requirements, contractual commitments, transparency obligations, and escalation of legal issues that may require modifications to AI functionality, data use practices, or product operations.
• Partner with the Clinical team on legal issues related to telehealth services, pharmacy review, and health information exchange data including contract interpretation, liability analysis, legal risk assessment, negotiation of health information exchange and related agreements, and drafting of state-specific consent language, disclosures, disclaimers, notices, and other user-facing legal documentation.
• Advise on intellectual property strategy, including patent, trade secret, and open-source software matters related to Hello Heart’s technology.
• Monitor relevant industry trends, emerging case law, enforcement actions, and litigation developments, including those related to AI and machine learning in healthcare, Food and Drug Administration requirements, telehealth, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, digital health intellectual property, and data rights.
• Partner with Sales and Client Support teams on commercial matters, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating customer agreements, amendments, and statements of work, and other customer-facing contractual arrangements, with a particular focus on supporting the Health Plan Sales Group.
