Software Engineer Tech Lead

About CureApp

Our goal is to support people with healthcare technology so they can maintain their health and achieve their life goals.

Vision: Re-evolving therapeutics with software

We strive for the ideal of medical care, a world where all people can receive high-quality treatment without worry. By evolving treatment with the power of technology, we will solve the social issues surrounding healthcare and realize ideal medical care.

Mission: Creating new therapeutic effects through technology

We develop evidence-based medical programs, “Digital Therapeutics (DTx),” for patients who suffer from conditions that conventional treatment methods with drugs or devices could not effectively solve. We aim to deliver the new treatment to as many patients as possible.

About Product

CureApp is the leading company in the DTx field in Japan with the first and only DTx regulatory and reimbursement approvals. Our pipeline includes nicotine addiction, hypertension, NASH liver disease, alcoholism, cancer treatment, and respiratory/cardiovascular conditions.

Our approach to reaching the goal is centered around, which is a new field of medicine designed to approach the root cause of health conditions using mobile applications. Our method does so by modifying how users understand and think about their conditions (cognitive change) and by changing their lifestyle gradually (behavioral change) to treat the conditions.

With our successful market entrance in Japan, we are planning to expand one of our products to the US market. Challenges for us to enter the market include cultural and linguistic gaps. Because the treatment approaches cognition and behavior through educational content and virtual counseling sessions, the contents of the application need to be adopted in the local culture and the US healthcare system.
