Research & Content Lead

More Good Daysis a VC-backed health tech start-up that helps people manage their chronic pain with digital behavioural treatments.

Imagine waking up every day with pain, and there is no cure. Globally, 1 in 5 people suffer from chronic pain. It is the most common chronic condition and the leading cause of disability in the world. As many countries fight an opioid crisis that arose from a genuine need for pain relief, demand and evidence have grown for multidisciplinary and behavioural treatment for chronic pain. However, only 10% of chronic pain sufferers have access to these treatments due to high costs or lack of trained practitioners. More Good Days is an early-stage health tech company looking to make evidence-based opioid-free treatments accessible as a first-line option for chronic pain.

More Good Days is a 'for purpose' company founded to create innovative solutions for people with chronic pain. We are a team of clinicians and entrepreneurs who have come together to make evidence-based pain management accessible to everyone that needs it.

After recently closing our first fundraising round we are now looking to hire exceptional people to form our founding team members to supercharge our growth.
