The Opportunity

Regain, Inc. is applying for the ARPA-H ADVOCATE Program, a $50M+ initiative to create the first FDA-authorized agentic AI for cardiovascular care.

The Problem: 46% of US counties lack a cardiologist. 200,000+ Americans die annually from preventable cardiovascular disease.

Our Advantage: Unlike teams proposing to build, we have working software:

  • Deutsch (TA1): Clinical CVD agent, 100% core complete
  • Popper (TA2): Supervisory safety agent, 100% complete
  • Demo ready NOW. Software, not slides

We're seeking a Clinical Lead to validate this architecture. A cardiologist who can bridge academic medicine, digital health, and FDA regulatory strategy.

  • Time commitment: 12–16 hours/week (0.3–0.4 FTE)
