Full Stack Engineer Intern Jobs in Connecticut (NOW HIRING)

About us

Icon Health is a navigation and care delivery company for all things musculoskeletal (MSK). Fifty percent of U.S. adults have a MSK disorder: from sprains and strains to back and neck pain. Icon aims to connect these patients to the best care possible, whether that's in-person or digital physical therapy, conservative treatments, surgical procedures, or anything in between.

We believe that the current healthcare system is broken. Patients must become informed consumers of healthcare, and we want to help them get there. With your help, we'll use the unprecedented availability of data on providers, increasing interoperability of diagnosis and treatment information, and widespread technology that allows scale beyond regionalized medicine to usher in a new era.
