Clipboard Health

Clipboard Health runs a two-sided healthcare staffing marketplace. Trained healthcare professionals take shifts on their own terms, while healthcare facilities fill urgent staffing gaps immediately and without committing to full-time hires. The company was founded in 2016 by Wei Deng and operates in the healthcare staffing and nursing/clinical professional verticals. Its technical work covers two-sided marketplace platforms, healthcare staffing technology and job matching and shift scheduling systems.

The current business is the product of successive pivots guided by customer discovery. The original offering was an income-share agreement designed as an alternative to student loans for software engineers, lawyers and doctors, later narrowed to nursing students. That was followed by a healthcare-focused job board, which attracted staffing agencies as customers and revealed a gap in flexible staffing. Clipboard Health Marketplace emerged from that finding.

Professionals using the platform can pick up shifts without full-time commitment. The company describes its mission, set by founder Wei Deng, as helping people climb the socioeconomic ladder, with an emphasis on serving unemployed and underemployed people by offering work rather than financial assistance.
