Role
Who you are
- Currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate students or Bachelor’s Degree recipients, preferably in health, healthcare, communications, technical writing, or other related fields
- Interest in researching, writing, editing, and adapting clinical content for a general audience
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Research and analytical skills
- Flexible, self-starter who is willing to learn, adapt, and take action on feedback
- Ability to work in a fast-paced start-up environment, maintaining focus on efficiency and consistent improvement
What the job involves
- Reporting To: Health Content Writer
- Dates: June 2, 2025 - August 15, 2025, with the expectation that this role will work 40 hrs per week over the summer
- As part of Well’s Health Content team, you’ll research, develop, and refine content into consumer-facing “stories” and produce intuitive, engaging health and wellness experiences for our diverse members who use the Well app. The content will be short-form and easy to understand but heavily research-based
- The purpose of Well’s content is to inspire healthy changes, empower people with information, and build health literacy
- This role requires an interest in covering science/health topics, mastery of the written language, a hefty dose of creativity and fun, and an understanding of human behavior and motivation
- Design, write, and review health and wellness content for the Well app
- Research and synthesize relevant clinical literature on health and wellness topics (e.g., acne, menopause, migraines, eczema, asthma, natural disaster preparedness). Simplify this research to convey educational messages while being approachable, original, and engaging
- Utilize behavioral techniques within the content to promote members’ motivational readiness, and/or self-efficacy. This includes optimizing opportunities for members to feel empowered and effective in improving health habits and managing chronic conditions
- Take an empathetic approach to understanding the tone of written work, knowing when it’s time (and not time) to crack a joke, play it serious, or keep it neutral
- Complete a research project on a health topic, doing a deep dive into Well’s offerings, as well as a competitive analysis
- Take personal responsibility for keeping all Well systems and data, including sensitive member data, secure and safe, according to Well data and security policies and HIPAA guidelines
Our take
Mobile health-tracking apps have become popular over the last decade, but existing platforms often provide uniform services as opposed to personalizing each user's experience. In addition to this, incentives to regularly use an app are generally focused on mobile notifications and manual tracking systems, features that require manual data entry and are easy to ignore.
Well provides a digital health platform that leverages member health data to provide users with a personalized and all-in-one platform for improving their health. Instead of relying on notifications and uniform systems, member data is used to deliver daily health recommendations from AI clinicians, loyalty rewards, and direct support tools.
With many apps on the market for different health points, the digital health tracking landscape is very saturated, yet Well is taking a unified approach to providing personalized and authentic experiences for users. The platform aims to provide guidance that is actionable and engaging, as opposed to just another mobile app that is used on an occasional health kick.
