About Epsy Health

Epsy is a leading digital health platform empowering patients, caregivers and healthcare providers: we give the world a better way to live with seizures and epilepsy.

Come work with us and build something that matters – we provide patients and physicians with tools and insights that help to accelerate the pathway towards better outcomes. We do this by bringing together the best people, the latest technologies, user-centric designs and state-of-the-art data analysis.

We are solving a large problem as epilepsy affects more than 65 million people and is one of the most common neurological diseases.

We operate as an independent startup within a large corporate, the LivaNova group. This gives us unique advantages: we move fast and drive growth, while we benefit from the corporate umbrella for excellent funding and resources.
