Søknadsfrist: 23. april 2022 23:59

Description

Pacertool is looking for an ambitious software engineer to extend the team and help us speed up the development of our products. The position offers opportunities to work with multiple topics and challenges including tasks ranging from computer vision, signal processing, and data visualization to testing and verification.

About

Pacertool is solving a 20-year-old problem for heart failure patients: the ability to improve the outcome of biventricular pacemaker implantations (CRT). To do so, Pacertool aims to be first to market in the US and Europe with a proprietary medical device to address this unmet medical need.

Currently, 30-50% of the heart failure patients needing resynchronization have no effect of a CRT implantation and around 10% of the patients are fearing worse after the implant. This affects around 40,000 patients per year and constitutes an estimated annual burden of more than USD 1B to the healthcare systems in the US and Europe. Promoting value-based healthcare, Pacertool has the potential to reduce these costs and at the same time increase the market and effectiveness of the biventricular pacemakers being implanted.

Pacertool will over the next years complete Pacertool system and enter clinical and regulatory processes to validate the technology. The company targets the US market with a staged regulatory strategy establishing early clinical data and reimbursement for the technology.

The company was founded by Dr. Hans Henrik Odland in 2019 and has completed the first clinical proof-of-principle clinical trial in 45 heart failure patients. Pacertool has established a dedicated team of medical device professionals in Oslo, Norway. The team has a deep understanding of R&D processes for SW, hardware and advanced intracardiac electrophysiology catheters.

We are dedicated to making a difference for our patients and the healthcare systems around the world.
