Vital is transforming how we think about health. We are on a mission to prevent disease, to reduce inequality of wellbeing, to redistribute control to patients, and empower healthcare providers in creating better outcomes. Every breakthrough we develop opens up a new world, and sets the stage for our next innovation. We're in it for the long haul—our initial products will change how we deliver care to our most vulnerable, then will evolve to preventative health for all.

We're building the next generation of tools to enable a healthier humankind by reimagining everything from how we measure biomarkers, to how we help patients live happier and healthier lives.

Today, we're a small team with a really big vision. Much of the future is unknown—so we leverage our amazing culture to shape it into the world we want for our loved ones and yours.

At Vital, trust is the bedrock of our culture. It’s not just about believing each other’s words; it’s about fostering an environment where integrity and honesty are non-negotiable. Trust at Vital is supported by three crucial pillars: respect, access, and dependability. Respect means we believe in each other’s capabilities and grant the authority needed to succeed. Access ensures everyone has the information and context required for success. Dependability guarantees that commitments are kept, building a reliable and cohesive team and a strong relationship with all those we serve.
These features of trust are critical both internally and externally. Beyond seeking to build trust with our peers and colleagues we seek to be trusted by our customers, their patients, and the broader scientific community.

At Vital, we embrace agility in the face of challenges and limited time, capital, or resources. We challenge dogma, question the status quo, and value creative problem-solving. We attack our constraints and reframe problems to expand the solution space. We embrace iteration to drive momentum despite challenges. We balance the pursuit of perfection with the need for rapid progress and we recognize that this approach requires grit and endurance but believe it is necessary to achieve the best outcomes.

At Vital, we foster the space to drive intentionality in how we think through things and make decisions. This enables us to avoid chaos and is always balanced with moving quickly and avoiding analysis paralysis. We make decisions with precision and communicate them clearly to everyone involved. We work collaboratively to hone our decisions, ensuring they are well-informed and effectively executed even with imperfect or incomplete information. We don’t let decisions linger; we constantly challenge the tradeoff between time to gather more information vs. the benefit incremental information offers to making high-quality decisions.

At Vital, we take full ownership and accountability for our decisions and work. We ensure each task and decision has a clear, accountable individual who owns the outcome from start to finish. We clearly articulate needs, issues, and constraints with the intent to resolve them, not to excuse failure; and once articulated we create the space to find the best path forward across all of our team’s constraints. We own up to setbacks and immediately take action to address what needs to happen next. We embrace retrospectives as an avenue for personal and team growth.

At Vital, we embrace a growth mindset and recognize the value of our collective imperfections. We leverage our diverse experiences, strengths, and weaknesses to amplify our collective abilities. We give feedback with the pure intention of helping your colleagues improve, even when it’s hard or uncomfortable. We receive feedback constructively and follow up on progress towards improvement. We never let the urgent prevent us from giving feedback that improves our collective effectiveness.
