178. Introducing responsible innovation in health: a policy-oriented framework

This is a paper (by Silva, Lehoux, Miller, and Denis, 2018) inspiring the experience of InFieri. It describes the components of the RIH framework, based on the literature on RRI and health innovations. In particular, the framework integrated the RRI characteristics of addressing societal needs and challenges; engaging a range of stakeholders to improve decision-making and mutual learning; anticipating potential problems, assessing available alternatives and reflecting on underlying values, assumptions and beliefs; and providing guidance on ways to act following the previous principles; with the three other criteria of innovativeness, health relevance and subsidiarity. Using these criteria, the authors set up an inventory of around 100 innovations in health matching RIH criteria.
