Senior R&D Data Scientist

Idoven is a European healthtech company using artificial intelligence to advance the early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide.

Our CE-marked AI platform, Willem, analyzes electrocardiograms (ECGs) from any device, helping doctors detect heart conditions faster, more accurately and at scale.

Backed by the European Innovation Council, Horizon 2020, and top-tier investors, we’re building technology with the potential to save millions of lives.

We collaborate with leaders like AstraZeneca, Abbott and EIT Health, and our work has been recognized by the European Seal of Excellence, the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, CB insights' Digital Health Lists, and South Summit as Most Disruptive Startup.

Global icons Iker Casillas and Pau Gasol support our mission as brand ambassadors, helping raise awareness around heart health. We have created the first mobile app that allows people to donate their heartbeats — turning everyday signals into science with the purpose of preventing heart disease.
