Medical Doctor for Telehealth Clinic, Illinois

Aivo Health, Inc. is a digital health company helping people to manage with chronic primary pain. We empower people with a virtual pain clinic accessed over a mobile app. We deliver care safely and sustainably applying innovations in pain neuroscience, behavioral health, data science and digital tools. Combined with your clinical expertise we change the paradigm for the treatment of chronic pain from the treatment of symptoms to continuous precision care addressing the root cause of primary chronic pain – the maladapted circuits in the brain.

The Aivo Program™ is a unique multimodal program for people with low back pain. The program consists of a virtual clinic with a pain physician, a personal health coach and the support of a moderated peer group. The program also includes educational mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy consumed as short animations, audio recordings and other educational content delivered over a mobile app. The mobile application provides a continuous feedback loop enabling personalized precision care and a means to capture real life data for clinical research. The target population for the program are adults with chronic primary pain originating in the lower back area, who do not display severe comorbidities e.g. diabetes, heart disease, severe depression or severe anxiety and who can manage without opioid medication.

What we’re looking for:

Aivo Health is now launching the service in Illinois. An important component of the program is to rule out other disease mechanisms ending up with chronic primary pain and the management of pain medication by the MD. All services are delivered as a telehealth package. The MD may establish a patient-provider relationship, may consult the primary care provider, make diagnosis, prescribe medication, and may direct Aivo Health’s health coach concerning user-specific coaching. The MD’s practise is responsible for clinical liabilities, reporting and compliance.

Aivo Health provides marketing of the program, prescreens prospective patients, collects personal health information for scientific clinical research, provides non-clinical customer support for the whole program. Aivo Health bills for all services rendered.
