Description
About Kneu Health
Kneu Health is a digital health company founded in November 2022 as a spinout from Oxford University, built on 10 years of clinical research and validation by leading neurologists and neuroscientists. Our neurological platform translates clinically relevant symptoms into actionable insights — helping clinicians better diagnose, monitor, and predict the progression of Parkinson's Disease and Dementia. We hold an exclusive license to our proprietary technology and are backed by Oxford Science Enterprises. Having established a strong track record in the UK, Kneu Health is now expanding across the United States, partnering with leading academic medical centers to bring our platform to clinicians and patients nationwide.
By 2050, 200 million people globally are projected to be living with neurodegenerative conditions. We are on a mission to make the latest advances in neurological care accessible to all.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a clinical role, employed by Connecticut Neurology Medical Group, P.C., operating in partnership between Yale New Haven Health and Kneu Health, with additional health system partnerships expected over time to support patients living with Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and other chronic neurologic conditions.
We are hiring a part-time Nurse Practitioner to lead the longitudinal, data-driven management of this growing patient population using the Kneu Health platform. The role will initially focus on patients served through Yale New Haven Health and is expected to expand as new partnerships are established.
This role is centered on proactive care, using continuous patient-reported and device-derived data to detect changes early, intervene before crises occur, and escalate to physicians when appropriate. The Nurse Practitioner will be a key driver of our population health strategy, working at the top of their license to deliver high-touch, protocol-guided care that extends the reach and impact of the neurology clinic.
Key Responsibilities
Population & Panel Management of Kneu Health Patients:
- Own day-to-day clinical oversight of a longitudinal panel of Yale patients powered by Kneu with Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and related neurodegenerative conditions.
- Monitor patient cohorts through the Kneu Health platform, reviewing motor symptom trends, cognitive assessments, medication adherence, falls risk, and other digital biomarkers.
- Triage incoming data signals daily and prioritize outreach to patients showing clinical decline, medication side effects, or adherence gaps.
Proactive Care & Early Intervention
- Conduct scheduled virtual and in-person check-ins with patients and care partners based on protocol-driven cadence and data-driven flags.
- Adjust medications, order labs, refer to PT/OT/speech, and coordinate care according to standing protocols and collaborative practice agreements.
- Identify patients at risk for hospitalization, falls, caregiver burnout, or rapid progression and intervene early to keep them stable in the community.
Protocol Execution & Escalation
- Follow clinic-approved clinical protocols for Parkinson’s disease management, dementia care planning, MCI follow-up, and acute symptom escalation.
- Escalate appropriately and promptly to supervising neurologists for complex symptom changes, new neurologic findings, advanced therapy candidacy (DBS, infusion therapies), or behavioral/psychiatric crises.
- Coordinate transitions of care with primary care, geriatrics, hospitalists, palliative care, and community resources.
Documentation & Data Stewardship
- Document all encounters, decisions, escalations, and care plans in the EHR in a timely, audit-ready manner.
- Ensure Kneu Health data is reviewed, reconciled with the EHR record, and acted on within defined turnaround targets.
- Contribute to ongoing improvement of clinical protocols, dashboards, and population-health workflows based on what the data reveals.
Clinic Growth & Patient Experience for Kneu Health Patients
- Help the clinic scale by absorbing routine follow-ups, titrations, and surveillance visits, expanding physician capacity for new and complex cases.
- Build trusted relationships with patients and care partners; serve as a consistent point of contact across the care journey.
- Participate in patient and family education on disease progression, medication management, and use of remote monitoring tools.
