$80-$220/hr respiratory therapy and pulmonary care work, on your schedule
Review AI-drafted ventilator settings, weaning plans, and ABG reads the way you'd check them at the bedside: flag the unsafe tidal volume, defend the right PEEP for ARDS. Remote, paid per task.
Trusted by top research companies
Hi, we're Zac and Jack, the founders of Terac. We want to talk to you directly, because you are the most important part of what we're building.
Terac is a community of experts. People who have spent years getting good at something specific and hard. The world is about to need more of you, not less. As AI takes on more of the world's work, the bottleneck shifts to the people who actually know what they're talking about.
Expert labor is the rarest resource in the world right now, and it is shockingly hard to find. The companies that need an RRT catching auto-PEEP the model missed on the ventilator waveform spend weeks chasing people, paying placement fees, and settling for whoever is available. Meanwhile thousands of qualified people are sitting with knowledge that no one ever asks for.
That gap is what we're here to close. Every project that lands on Terac is routed to the people who actually know the answer, on their schedule, paid fairly, and only when the work is verified. No middleman taking a cut of your time. No vague gigs. No chasing checks.
We care about every single person in this community. If you join Terac, you're not a row in a database to us. We read the feedback. We answer the emails. We will fight for you when a customer is being unreasonable, and we will be honest with you when something on our side is broken. The quality of this panel is our entire company, and we owe you a serious bar.
If you've made it this far, here is what we're asking: claim your profile. Put your expertise on the record. Let the world's most ambitious teams come find you for the work only you can do.
Respiratory Medicine questions
Still curious? Write to us at support@terac.com.
RTs live in the ventilator graphics and minute-to-minute titration physicians don't manage directly. You catch auto-PEEP, dyssynchrony, and flow starvation off the waveform, and you know the practical weaning calls. That bedside judgment is what these projects pay you to capture.
Yes. We ask for an active Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential, NBRC certification, and a current US license, with active or recent bedside experience in mechanical ventilation and ABG management. We verify credentials at onboarding via Government ID and professional attestations.
No. You evaluate AI outputs and training data, not patients. No patient relationship, no orders, no liability. You apply your respiratory-care expertise to judge whether the model's ventilator and gas-exchange reasoning is safe, the way you'd review settings at the bedside.
AI ventilator-setting recommendations, ABG reads, weaning and breathing-trial plans, noninvasive ventilation titrations, oxygen-therapy decisions, and ventilator-waveform reads. You flag unsafe settings, defend lung-protective and weaning standards, and write adversarial cases that expose where respiratory reasoning fails.
Heavily. Models read the displayed number but can't interpret the graphics, so they miss auto-PEEP, dyssynchrony, and flow starvation. You mark those waveform-level errors, where the curve tells a different story than the value, so the model learns to reason from the graphics the way you do.
Why your expertise matters
Today's respiratory-care AI sets tidal volumes that break lung-protective targets, misses auto-PEEP on a waveform, and pushes a breathing trial before the patient is ready. Catching that takes an RT reading the graphics, not just the number. Your corrections teach these tools to reason off the curve.
How pay works
Registered respiratory therapists earn $80 to $220 an hour. Routine ABG and oxygen-titration review sits lower; advanced ventilator management, ARDS support, and weaning reasoning reach the top. Remote and asynchronous, a few hours a week. Paid hourly for review, with bonuses on adversarial cases.
What the work looks like
A sample of the respiratory therapy and pulmonary care work you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Flag an AI ventilator recommendation setting a tidal volume above 8 mL/kg predicted body weight in ARDS, and explain the lung-protective violation.
- Grade two ABG interpretations and catch the one that missed a mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis.
- Audit a weaning plan recommending a breathing trial despite a failing rapid shallow breathing index.
- Rank ventilator-waveform reads and flag the one that missed auto-PEEP from incomplete exhalation.
- Write a flow-starvation waveform case to test whether the model recognizes patient-ventilator dyssynchrony.
- Critique a noninvasive ventilation plan recommending BiPAP for a patient with contraindicated depressed mental status.
