Lots of companies say they're mission-driven, but at PatientsLikeMe, it's in our DNA
The work we do is challenging, rewarding, always evolving, and often complicated. But it's never boring. This is your chance to join a close-knit gang of smart, passionate people who are as excited as ever about changing the future of healthcare. And we're growing like crazy. Join us and we'll make that future together.
Our story
Inspired by their brother Stephen's journey with ALS, Ben and Jamie Heywood, along with their longtime friend Jeff Cole, created PatientsLikeMe as a health data-sharing platform.
PatientsLikeMe is a platform that helps patients improve their outcomes by connecting with and learning from thousands of others just like them. Here patients can share their experience, and in the process they help the next person diagnosed learn what could really work for them and they help researchers shorten the path to new treatments.
Our work helps 500,000+ patients with 2700+ conditions live better, together
We're transforming how patients manage their own condition...
Garth, living with cancer
"It certainly doesn't help me to keep my symptoms or my side effects secret. I feel that I owe other patients my experience. If I donate my data, if I share with an organization that can put it together and see a pattern... I'm helping all of the patients."
Letitia, living with epilepsy
"I've made it my passion to share my story and resources with others who are suffering and/or know someone who is suffering from uncontrollable seizures and epilepsy."
We're on a mission, but we have fun, too
PatientsLikeMe takes our culture as seriously as our mission. From multiple team events like fundraising 5ks and volunteer opportunities to book clubs, karaoke nights and of course annual holidays like May the 4th, Pi Day and Thanksgiving potluck we believe the team that works together should celebrate and play together!

Journal Club brings everyone together on Fridays for an informal presentation from a guest speaker — we've had everyone from Harvard PhDs to a four-star general.
