In Fieri has submitted a brief for the Québec Research and Innovation Strategy (QRIS) 2022 consultation process. Entitled Créer de la valeur économique, sociale et environnementale au Québec par l’Innovation Responsable en Santé, the brief focuses on value creation through Responsible Innovation in Health.
Guided by Tronto’s (1993) ethic of care framework and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), this qualitative study focuses on the ways in which health innovation designers reason around care and responsibility and translate these notions into their work. The exploratory findings provide a novel empirical basis for scholars to conceptualize health innovation designers as ‘care-makers’ and to integrate designers within the care relationship alongside caregivers and care-receivers.

The challenge of novel and high cost health technologies has encouraged the growth of regulatory agencies such as Health Technology Assessment (HTA) organizations and Group Procurement Organizations (GPO). Yet the existence of several agencies in the same polycentric regulatory regime raises questions about whether and how their work can be coordinated. Drawing on a case study of GPOs and HTA agencies across four provinces in Canada, we explore the separate evolution of these agencies, emerging connections between them for non-drug technologies, and the organizational processes and evaluative judgments that underpin coordination efforts.

In the field of Responsible Research and Innovation (RIR), tools have been developed to enable entrepreneurs to integrate RIR principles into their practices. While these tools may include measurable self-assessment indicators, external assessment approaches have so far received little attention. This study addresses this gap by applying the Responsible Innovation in Health (RIH) Tool, which adopts an external assessment approach, to 16 health innovations from Canada and Brazil.

Although Do-It-Yourself and open access health innovations can offer interesting solutions for patients with needs that are currently not met by the medical industry, they pose new dilemmas in terms of quality and safety. In this study, the authors seek to better understand the dilemmas raised by two examples of popular innovations. To do so, they gathered the views of health care innovators who are familiar with medical device standards and regulations in order to identify practical issues and develop recommendations for public policy.
