Description provided by mama health
This role is fully onsite in Berlin — we are specifically looking for medical students currently based in Berlin or able to work onsite reliably 15–20 hours/week.
Medicine is about to fundamentally change. AI, real-world patient data, and new care models will reshape how patients are diagnosed, treated, and supported over the next decade.
At mama health, we want to work with medical students who are excited by this shift — people who are passionate not only about medicine, but also about technology and AI, and who want to help build the future of healthcare rather than just observe it.
As a Working Student – Medical, you will sit directly at the intersection of clinical thinking and AI product development. You will work closely with physicians, AI engineers, and product teams on real problems affecting real patients. This is not a passive support role — your work will directly influence the quality and safety of AI-powered healthcare products.
You will:
- Test and QA our AI companion and medical chatbot systems: stress-test outputs, probe medical edge cases, identify hallucinations and safety risks, and work closely with our AI and product teams to improve performance.
- Help optimize AI communication for patients: improve clarity, tone, safety, empathy, and medical correctness through structured testing and iteration.
- Review medical content and medical datasets across our disease areas and patient-facing products.
- Support the creation and maintenance of clinical and educational content.
- Contribute to medical research and publication projects at mama health.
- Potentially pursue a doctoral thesis (Doktorarbeit) with us in collaboration with academic partners.
- Currently enrolled in Humanmedizin at a German university.
- Ideally already in the clinical years / post-Physikum, but exceptional earlier-stage students are welcome to apply.
- Strong interest in AI, technology, and the future of medicine — not just traditional clinical work.
- Curious about LLMs, AI systems, and how they behave in real-world patient interactions.
- Comfortable using AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude in daily workflows.
- Highly analytical and detail-oriented; you enjoy spotting subtle issues and edge cases.
- Fluent in both German and English.
- Proactive, entrepreneurial, and comfortable taking ownership.
- Able to reliably work 15–20 hours/week onsite in Berlin.
- Experience with clinical research, publications, or scientific writing.
- Experience testing AI systems or working with prompt engineering.
- Interest or experience in chronic disease areas.
- Basic technical or data literacy (statistics, SQL, analytics tools, etc.).
- Join one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI healthtech startups and help shape the future of healthcare.
- Work directly with physicians, AI engineers, and product builders in a highly collaborative environment.
- Gain front-row exposure to how AI is transforming medicine — and actively help build that future.
- Real ownership and responsibility from day one.
- Opportunity to pursue a Doktorarbeit in collaboration with academic partners.
- Beautiful office in Berlin, regular team events and off-sites, and Wolt dinners when working late.
mama health’s mission is to build the largest healthcare data platform where patient find answers and healthcare players see how they can improve. We built 2 products:
- a Patient App that helps chronic patients find answers to their daily questions - using best in class multi-agent systems and proprietary data
- a Patient Journey Analytics Platform to see real time patient needs, roadblock and what needs to be done to improve patients care
- Entrepreneurial spirit: We seek exceptional talent with the drive, passion, and creativity to shape the future of our company. This isn’t a place for those seeking routine tasks or detailed instructions. If you’re eager to influence the future of healthcare with your ideas and contributions, mama health is the place for you.
- Results-driven culture: We operate by objectives and reward exceptional performance. Goals are clear and accountability is key. If you miss your targets, we expect you to step up and put in the extra effort. When you achieve them, take the time to recharge and celebrate your success.
- Inclusive values: As a company addressing chronic diseases worldwide, we are building an international, diverse team. Our employees bring together a mix of medical, technical, and business expertise, representing over five nationalities.
At mama health, we work (very) hard but know how to have fun. Most of our team is based in Berlin, with regular trips to our Berlin office for remote team members. We offer a range of benefits, including educational courses, gym memberships, mentoring, and more. We host frequent team events and an annual "workation" where the entire team gathers for a week of collaboration and bonding.
Join us to help transform patient experiences into actionable insights and shape the future of healthcare.
Working student essentials
What this Healthcare working student role in Berlin means for you — the weekly-hours rules, social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.
Check your insuranceInternational students
Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
