Our team works closely with organizations, advocacy groups, and individuals committed to maximizing the benefits of fully transparent communication and assessing its effects.

As emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence reshape how health information is shared, Open Notes Labs brings together patients, clinicians, and researchers to ensure innovation serves people first. If you share our vision for a healthcare system where open communication is the standard of care, we'd welcome a conversation about how you can support the work of the Open Notes Labs.
Pivotal giftKeane Family Foundation
We honor the memory of John F. Keane III, a generous and visionary champion of Open Notes Labs. Through their longstanding commitment to transparency and open communication in healthcare, the Keane family has played a transformative role in advancing our mission.
Their support established the John F. Keane & Family Professorship of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, held by OpenNotes co-founder Tom Delbanco, MD, MACP (2017–2025) and now by Open Notes Labs’ Director Catherine M. DesRoches, DrPH.
