Join a Working Group

GlobeDoc Research Hub is a non-profit research hub developing GPOC, the Global Patient co-Owned Cloud: a free, patient-owned health record that follows each person across borders and over a lifetime. The hub brings together leading researchers in AI, ethics, law, clinical medicine and global health. Volunteers contribute through six working groups:

• Technology & Security — Platform development, machine learning and privacy-preserving technologies such as distributed ledgers and homomorphic encryption.
• Ethics, Law & Governance — Data protection, legal frameworks, contracts and the ethics of patient co-owned data.
• Patients & Clinical Practice — Patient representatives and clinicians ensuring that GPOC meets real needs in care.
• Global Health & Implementation — Adapting GPOC for low-resource, humanitarian and cross-border settings, including refugees and displaced populations.
• Partnerships & Funding — Research collaborations, grants and philanthropic support.
• Communications & Volunteers — Scientific communication, outreach and coordination of volunteers.

Working groups are curated. All applications are reviewed, and we will contact those whose profile matches current needs. Each working group will be coordinated by a Convenor, who reviews applications together with the Research Director.
