161. The InFieri Assessment Tool for Responsible Innovation in Health

InFieri is a research program that focuses on Responsible Innovation in Health (RIH) carried out by the University of Montreal in Canada (Quebec, Ontario) and in Brazil (state of São Paulo). The RIH Assessment Tool was developed and validated by InFieri to assess responsibility in health innovation. In particular, it might be used by policymakers and providers to assess whether an innovation qualifies as a Responsible Innovation in Health (RIH). A User Guide has been developed to facilitate the application of the Tool. Drawing on RRI and health policy research, the RIH Tool entails a three-step process: screening, assessment, and rating. The value domains and attributes used for the assessment of innovation includes among others, also, ethical, legal, and social issues; health inequalities; frugality; eco-responsibility; inclusiveness.
