HumanFirst is unlocking better research for all humans, sooner.

Our Mission

Unlocking access to life-saving medicines isn’t easy. On average, it takes 10 years for a new medicine to complete the journey from discovery to marketplace. About 85% of clinical trials fail to recruit enough patients, and there are systemic barriers that block health equity and access.

Digital technologies such as wearables and other connected sensors can drive a better understanding of patients’ needs, improving access to medicines and trials. HumanFirst is accelerating the adoption of evidence-based measures -- and 22 of the top 25 pharma companies have used our Atlas platform to include measures that matter to patients into their trials.

We closed a Series A round led by Maverick Ventures, with Lux Capital and Threshold Ventures, and other leading investors - bringing total funding to $15M. We’re well-funded, growing quickly, and looking for the best Humans to join our small but mighty team.

At HumanFirst, we believe that diversity and inclusivity are essential values that drive innovation, creativity, and success. We actively foster a culture of inclusivity by promoting equal opportunities, eliminating bias, and constantly striving for fairness in all aspects of our operations. We recognize that we operate at our best when we can bring our whole selves to work, and that begins by creating a work environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and are able to be their authentic selves. If you are passionate about making a difference, value diversity, and want to contribute to a forward-thinking organization that puts Humans First, we invite you to apply and help us shape a brighter, more inclusive future.
