Patient Activation Specialist
Sixty million Medicare seniors live with chronic disease. The care system sees most of them twice a year. Cadence is building the infrastructure to support them every day. Cadence is a clinical AI company that delivers continuous, proactive care for older adults with chronic conditions like hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes. We pair patients with a dedicated clinical team, integrate deeply into health system EMRs and workflows, and use our Clinical Intelligence platform to monitor vitals, surface risk early, optimize medications, and close care gaps between visits. The result: patients engage with care 100x more than before Cadence, clinicians focus on judgment instead of administrative work, and Medicare saves $2.7M a week. We operate as a full clinical care delivery organization, not a software vendor. Our clinicians work alongside health system partners, extending the reach of local primary care providers into patients' homes. We're now applying AI agents across these workflows – from alert review and medication titration to lifestyle coaching and care coordination – with clinicians always in control of clinical decisions. The Role We're hiring a Patient Activation Specialist to guide new patients through activation of their remote monitoring devices and set the foundation for their engagement with Cadence's care model. This role works directly with patients by phone and coordinates with clinical and technical teams to resolve activation issues that require additional support. The Patient Activation Specialist is often one of the patient's first points of contact with Cadence, making this role central to long-term program engagement. Schedule: Standard working hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Eastern, Central, or Mountain Time.
What You'll Do

Troubleshoot technical issues and connectivity errors during activation calls, escalating unresolved cases to technical or clinical teams as needed. Address patient questions and concerns about the monitoring program, translating technical steps into clear, patient-friendly instructions. Coordinate with care teams and technical support to resolve activation issues that require additional intervention. Document patient interactions and device activation status accurately to maintain a complete activation record. Drive patient engagement with Cadence's care model by reinforcing the value of continuous monitoring at each activation touchpoint.
