The document presents how the thematic Lab on biomedicine was run in Spain for the biomedicine sector, in the framework of Innovation Compass Project (Deliverable D2.4). The Lab consisted in a series of online and in-person meetings to develop a sectorial roadmap to help SMEs in the health sector to embed RRI in their practices. An important central issue of the Lab on Biomedicine is the ethical imperative of care and to recognise the need to afford greater choice for people in managing their health (and their access to technologies that help them do this). Such issues are noted as impacting on the designs of products (e.g., ‘safe by design’) and service configurations whereby users (patients) are empowered. It follows then, that the roadmap requires companies to have and implement appropriate codes of practice that help to embed an appropriate service ethos – and that related technologies are designed to support this.
