Ilara Health UX Researcher Jobs in Kenya
Description of RoleAbout IlaraIlara was founded to bring diagnostic support and essential tests to patients and providers who currently are unable to access these basic life-saving tools.
We partner with companies that are disrupting the diagnostic device landscape, integrate their devices into our tech platform, and offer this diagnostic package plus smart financing to health facilities in peri-urban areas across Africa.
As a result, our facilities are now able to offer their patients essential tests through our affordable, tech-enabled, point of care (POC) diagnostic suite.
The suite of software services we are building as an overlay to the existing hardware-based platform will enable our facilities to reach a wider number of patients and drive patient engagement through what we call our closed loop patient management system.
This system includes patient and provider portals, automated care programs based diagnostic device results, and a remote care platform for clinics.
You’ll be joining a fast-paced startup environment and have an opportunity to make a large impact on Ilara’s product development at an early stage.
The work you do will have an impact on bringing better healthcare services to communities in peri-urban and rural areas of Kenya.
We’re all super passionate about the work we do, and are looking for people with a drive to make real change in the world! What will you be working on?
We’re looking for a pragmatic, results driven UX researcher to lead Ilara’s user experience design projects in the field.
Ilara follows a human centred design approach and our team has spent hundreds of hours in the field speaking with our users.
As we grow, we’re looking for someone who can own this process and build UX design studies and programs to drive our product development and strategy.
You’ll work with the leadership team to define design projects to help us understand what we need to build, and how our products should be designed to meet user requirements. You’ll do this by getting to know our customers better than anyone.

About Ilara Health
Ilara Health was founded to make common diagnostics affordable and accessible to the 500m people in Africa who today struggle to access even simple diagnostic tests such as blood tests and ultrasound screening.
The problem is that primary care doctors
cannot offer many diagnostics in their clinics so must refer patients. But given the infrastructure challenges in Africa (time and money it takes to get anywhere) patients often do not go.
We solve this problem by partnering with companies using robotics and AI to create lower cost diagnostics, integrating their devices into our tech platform, and sell this bundle to doctors with financing.
Doctors can now offer tests directly in their clinic, improving care and growing their revenue.
Ilara Health is live in multiple clinics across Nairobi and has just closed an investment round led by local and international investors to expand to a lot more clinics by the end of 2019.
