This is an article tied with the CareConnect Project eHealth innovations in the Twente Region (by Konrad, Greiving, and Benneworth, 2018) and focused on the innovation process of an eHealth application, which emerged as a user-driven, local project. The eHealth application is based on a communication platform that creates a network around a particular patient, who needs regular care, including the different parties involved in the patient’s care; and aimed at facilitating the communication and coordination of this care network. The authors trace the innovation and implementation process, and explore, firstly, to which extent and in which form different dimensions of responsibility are presented along the innovation process. Secondly, they consider if and how the regional and partly local, bottom-up nature of the innovation network, was conducive to enacting the dimensions of responsibility. The article also describes the composition and function of the network.
