About

Hi, I'm Meag Doherty, a bioethicist and product leader who combines 15 years of digital strategy and software design in healthcare and life sciences to bring care back into healthcare around the world.

For most of my career, I have sat between two rooms: one where technical decisions are made, and one where ethical questions are considered. I believe in a world where those two rooms are one.

And, suddenly, with the accelerating pace of AI adoption, this vision and belief are at the front of every planning, scoping, and retrospective conversation. The technical teams don't want to hold the ethical tensions alone; leadership doesn't know how to slow down enough to decide well.

Much of this perspective comes from leading user experience research and design at NIH's All of Us Research Program. From 2019 to 2025, I supported the program from launching and scaling the Research Workbench to 10k researchers to migrating 700k+ consented participants to a new platform.

Along the way, I have also worked with organizations like Mass General Brigham, World Health Organization, Software Sustainability Institute, and Mozilla Foundation.

After years of working product designs through institutional review and research ethics boards, I decided to join the Harvard Medical School's Center for Bioethics as a 2024-2025 Fellow to sit more deeply with the question of the role of a technologist in science.

Today I am building Both and Neither, a bioethics design studio helping leaders untangle their product org so they can get back to precision medicine.
