A single pulse oximeter shared across an entire ward. Manual vital sign checks between competing demands. The dedication is there, what's missing is the infrastructure to match it. That's where Neopenda comes in. We built neoGuard, a wearable vital signs monitor purpose-built for the realities of healthcare in emerging markets. It continuously tracks pulse rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and temperature, and gives nurses real-time visibility across an entire ward from a single dashboard. It works through power outages. It requires no consumables. And it was co- designed with the healthcare workers who use it every day. We are CE Mark certified, ISO 13485 compliant, and our technology is actively monitoring patients across 50+ hospitals in Kenya and beyond, with over 150,000 hours of continuous monitoring delivered to date. We’ve been recognized by organizations like WHO, Grand Challenges Canada, and MIT Solve. Neopenda is a small team with outsized ambition. We operate across the U.S., Kenya, and Nigeria. We are scaling commercially, expanding into new markets, and hiring across multiple roles. At Neopenda, we are building technologies that strengthen health systems in emerging markets, starting with neonatal care. As we scale, generating strong clinical and real-world evidence is critical to demonstrating impact, informing product development, and supporting adoption across facilities, governments, and partners. We are seeking a Medical Research Officer to lead clinical and outcomes research efforts across both formal clinical trials and real-world product use. This role goes beyond traditional research coordination, it is a strategic and execution-oriented role that sits at the intersection of clinical research, data analysis, product development, and go-to-market. 1 Medical Research Officer - Job Description About Neopenda Role Description Page 2 of 32 Clinical Research & Trials: Design, implement, and manage clinical studies (including trial protocols, ethics submissions, and site coordination), with support from research coordinators as needed Data Analysis & Insights: Analyze clinical and operational data to generate insights on outcomes, utilization, and product performance Impact Measurement: Own and refine Neopenda’s theory of change and impact metrics; ensure consistent measurement across trials and commercial deployments Reporting & Publications: Generate reports, abstracts, and publications to communicate findings to internal teams, partners, and external stakeholders Product & Clinical Affairs Input: Translate research findings into actionable input for product development, regulatory, and quality processes GTM & Validation Support: Support evidence generation for commercial efforts, including validation studies, pilot evaluations, and partner-facing materials 2–5 years of experience in clinical research, public health, or a related field Experience designing, managing, or supporting clinical studies or research projects Experience analyzing clinical or health-related data Tools & Technical Skills Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Ability to translate data into clear insights and recommendations Strong written communication skills (reports, publications, summaries) Highly organized with strong attention...
