Cardiologist

Mission

Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.

In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.

Role Purpose

This is a clinical role at the center of Neko's cardiology pathway. Every member who receives an abnormal cardiovascular finding from their Neko scan — including flagged EKGs, vascular assessments, and echocardiograms — will be reviewed, interpreted, and triaged by this clinician. You will determine whether findings can be reassured and discharged, monitored at the next annual scan, or require referral to a community cardiologist.

You will not be managing ongoing cardiology care or initiating treatment for complex cardiovascular disease — those cases go directly to a community cardiologist. You will be the clinical authority on whether a finding is actionable, and the person responsible for ensuring the right members reach the right specialist without delay.

What You'll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months

• Every abnormal cardiovascular finding from Neko scans is reviewed, interpreted, and triaged with accuracy and speed — no member falls through the gap.

• Clear, structured clinical documentation is in place for every encounter, fully compliant with applicable state and federal requirements.

• Cardiology triage protocols are actively refined in collaboration with the Medical Innovation team, keeping pace with ACC/AHA guidelines and evolving US regulatory standards.

• A community referral network is established and maintained — cardiologists, cardiac imaging centers, and electrophysiology services — across each market we operate in.
