Mobilizing capital for responsible innovation: The role of social finance in supporting innovative projects
The literature on Responsible Innovation (RI) has not yet fully addressed the role played by social finance (SF) in supporting projects and organizations engaged in the production of innovations that tackle grand societal challenges. This study addresses this gap by empirically examining how SF investors select potential investees and the principles they judge important in SF. Our findings show that SF investors apply a combination of criteria to…
Virtual Care and the Inverse Care Law: Implications for Policy, Practice, Research, Public and Patients
Virtual care spread rapidly at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Restricting in-person contact contributed to reducing the spread of infection and saved lives. However, the benefits of virtual care were not evenly distributed within and across social groups, and existing inequalities became exacerbated for those unable to fully access to, or benefit from virtual services. This "perspective" paper discusses the extent to which challenges in v…

Artificial intelligence in health care: Laying the Foundation for Responsible, sustainable, and inclusive innovation in low- and middle-income countries
The World Health Organization and other institutions are considering Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a technology that can potentially address some health system gaps, especially the reduction of global health inequalities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, because most AI-based health applications are developed and implemented in high-income countries, their use in LMICs contexts is recent and there is a lack of robust local e…
The responsible innovation in health tool and the need to reconcile formative and summative ends in RRI tools for business
Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) scholars have explored how businesses perceive the goals and processes of RRI and have developed tools to enable entrepreneurs to integrate such principles into their practices. While these tools often adopt a formative approach and may include measurable self-assessment indicators, external assessment approaches have so far received little attention. This study addresses this gap by applying the Responsi…

Technologies of the self in public health: Insights from public deliberations on cognitive and behavioural enhancement
The aim of this paper is to examine how members of the public define the legitimacy of cognitive and behavioural enhancement. Our study involved a two-step multimedia-based deliberative intervention in which participants of different age groups pondered the desirability of a fictional enhancement technology: a sweater made of ‘smart’ textiles that provide ‘bio-psycho-feedback’ (PBF) to its user. A 3-min video clip presenting the fictional technol…
A Concurrent Analysis of Three Institutions that Transform Health Technology-Based Ventures: Economic Policy, Capital Investment, and Market Approval
Drawing on institutional theory, this article articulates qualitative insights from a program of research on Canadian health technology-based ventures to examine the rules that characterize economic policy, capital investment, and regulatory approval as well as the way these institutions enable and constrain the development of ventures at an early stage. Our findings clarify how economic policy integrates these ventures into the entrepreneurial d…
Responsible research and innovation: A productive model for the future of medical innovation
This article seeks to deepen our understanding of the responsible research and innovation (RRI) approach as it relates to health care systems, where the notion of responsibility is already deeply embedded. We empirically flesh out the RRI framework developed by Stilgoe et al. by drawing on the content of three mixed focus groups on health care system challenges that technological innovation could help address. These focus groups were held in Mont…
Three Conceptual Models of Patient and Public Involvement in Standard-setting: From Abstract Principles to Complex Practice
Clinical practice guidelines have been critiqued for prescribing standardized care that neglects patients' personal circumstances and knowledge in health care decisions. To make care more patient centred, standard-setters are urged to involve patients and the public in guideline development and use. Despite widespread principled support for such Patient and Public Involvement (PPI), the underlying principles guiding PPI in standardization of care…
Citizen expectations of ‘academic entrepreneurship’ in health research: Public science, practical benefit
BACKGROUND: Responsiveness to citizens as users of technological innovation helps motivate translational research and commercial engagement among academics. Yet, retaining citizen trust and support for research encourages caution in pursuit of commercial science. OBJECTIVES: We explore citizen expectations of the specifically academic nature of commercial science [i.e. academic entrepreneurship (AE)] and the influence of conflict of interest conc…
How do values shape technology design? An exploration of what makes the pursuit of health and wealth legitimate in academic spin-offs
By actively supporting cooperation between academia, clinical settings and industry, several policy initiatives assume that the two policy agendas of health and wealth can be reconciled through the development of health technology. Our goal in this article is to shed light on the way the concurrent pursuit of health and wealth operates in practice by examining the valuation schemes, actions and decisions that shaped technology development in thre…

La perception de professionnels de santé publique face à deux dimensions de la promotion de la santé: Approche écologique et participation
Tracer les parcours d'influence de l'évaluation sur l'utilisation des technologies de la santé
In Quebec, over the past ten years many medical technology assessment reports have been submitted to decision-makers in government agencies, hospitals, and professionnal associations. This article traces the ways evaluation may influence decision-making. Five topics are discussed: 1) the imperfect reciprocal relationship between evaluation and technology utilization, 2) the difficulty of moving theoretically and methodologically between central a…
Linking Users’ Views with Utilization Processes in the Evaluation of Interactive Software
Taking users’ viewpoints into account in evaluation is increasingly recommended. The rationale and methods of user-oriented approaches have been described in theoretical papers. Less often reported are critical and empirical observations on how evaluators should interpret users’ views. In the case of information technology, users’ views may be gathered for the purpose of both evaluation and development. This double function is best served when a …
