What We Do
Ejenta is on a mission to make healthcare patient-centered and data-driven. Our first step on the journey is an AI platform that allows health providers to remotely care for patients and predict health, using data from a variety of devices and medical records.

We have demonstrated the ability to improve the lives of patients and clinicians in clinical trials with some of the largest health systems in the country, including Kaiser Permanente. We’re now earning the trust of the medical industry as we expand into large deployments with healthcare providers, academic medical centers and the Government.

The software you develop will directly improve the lives and health of patients, doctors, nurses and astronauts! Ejenta is right for you if you want to get in at the ground level of building a startup, and if you thrive in working with a small team and having influence in directing your work, product decisions and overall company direction.
