About Dance4Healing
Dance4Healing is an award-winning, NIH-funded social impact startup building a patented AI telehealth platform with biotracking that leverages Arts & Health practices (music, dance, and arts) to reduce isolation, improve mental and physical health, and make healthy habits accessible, supportive, and fun.
Inspired by founder Amy Li’s recovery from Stage IV cancer, Dance4Healing serves older adults, caregivers, and people living with chronic disease. Our work has been informed by founders’ training and collaborations with leading institutions, including Stanford University and Harvard Medical School, and is supported by NIH-funded research initiatives.
Our social impact and business model is grounded in the University of Oxford’s Mutual Value Labs, an executive program from which the founder graduated, focused on building ventures that create shared value across communities, institutions, and markets.
This is a 100% remote internship with an international cohort of students and early-career professionals.
===============================================================
Why This Internship Is Different
This is not a traditional internship.
In addition to hands-on technical work, interns receive:
- Communication and leadership training
- Structured accountability and goal-setting
- Mentorship and coaching from experienced builders, researchers, and founders
- Exposure to real NIH-funded health technology projects
- Experience working on human-centered technology for underserved communities
Generative AI & Vibecoding Exposure
Interns gain exposure to emerging approaches in Generative AI and vibecoding, informed by the founder’s participation in the Stanford AI & Longevity Lab program. Training explores how GenAI, multimodal signals (voice, movement, behavior), and human-centered design can be combined to build more engaging, adaptive health and wellness technologies—emphasizing thoughtful application over hype.
Structured, High-Accountability Program
The internship follows a clear weekly structure with defined milestones, focused co-working sessions, and regular progress check-ins. Interns declare goals, track outcomes, and practice professional accountability—skills rarely taught in traditional internships.
Cohort & Buddy Support Model
Interns join an international cohort and are paired with an accountability buddy to support consistency, communication, and growth. This mirrors how high-performing startup and research teams operate in real-world environments.
===============================================================
