We are a non-profit organization building an infrastructure to develop, manufacture, distribute, and operate remote-controlled ventilators and oxygen concentrators that will also gather high-resolution treatment data for scientific research and treatment optimization.
Status report:
We have set up a trust in New Zealand for this purpose as the organization founder resides in New Zealand. The Trust is set up to provide limited liability to the trustees and volunteers where all parties are acting under New Zealand's "all care, no responsibility" policy. This includes the volunteer for this position.
Description:
In the future when we have sufficient funds to build large amounts of ventilators we will be able to pay a legal expert to ensure legal protection but in the meantime, there are certain topics that need to be considered right away so that we can stay operational. The review of preliminary documents and draft of new agreements will help to protect the more than 50 volunteers that are currently working on this mission and willspeed up the process for a future full-time lawyer
Tasks:
- review of our Non-disclosure agreement to protect the interest of the volunteers, the trustees and the trust.
- managing risk in relation to our equipment and volunteer medical professionals
- review of our fund management policies
- drafting end-user agreements for use of our equipment, data usage and other eventual online services.
The applicant for this position is required to have a legal qualification/experience in dealing with one or ideally multiple of the following topics
- medic-o-legal matters
- volunteer staff
- international law
- contract law
- limiting liability

Mission Statement
Our mission is to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the world's medical workforce fighting COVID-19
Description
Every Year 4.2 million children under 5 are desperate for oxygen. 800,000 mothers lose their child every year because of Pneumonia, a lung disease often requiring oxygen. This toll is higher than for any other disease in the world. What hospitals in the US and Europe consider one of the most essential treatments is not available for many. The problem, oxygen concentrators keep breaking down in the high humidity, temperature and dust environments, burn through during energy spikes when the power comes back online after one of the many outages or simply breaks and nobody knows how to repair it.
We have set out to change this and develop an oxygen concentrator that will make public health investments much more effective. Our first calculations suggest that we could lower the cost of a child's life by as much as two-thirds. Due to our organization working with volunteers we can reduce the development cost but bringing a medical device to market is hard work and we expect that you meet the requirements and are responsive and transparent with your skills and availability.
