ABSTRACT

Responsible innovation is an important consideration for digital health innovation. This study explores the responsible innovation processes of digital health innovators, and the reinforcement of responsible innovation practices. Using semi-structured qualitative interviews followed by a thematic analysis and narrative enquiry, we understand the lived experiences of innovators in the UK and Norway. We suggest three contributions. (1) That Responsible Innovation occurs as a process in practice, and we suggest a framework to outline that process. (2) We suggest that ‘responsible impact’ is the fifth domain and the output of RI. (3) We suggest that responsible impact may be a natural reinforcer of the RI process. We suggest that innovators who recognise the impact of their RI practice are more likely to continue those responsible processes. Finally, based on our study we provide an RI action plan framework to encourage the funding of responsible innovators.

摘要

负责任的创新是数字健康创新的重要考虑因素。本研究探讨了数字健康创新者的负责任的创新过程，以及负责任的创新实践的强化。通过半结构化的定性访谈，然后进行主题分析和叙述性调查，我们了解了英国和挪威创新者的生活经历。我们建议三项贡献。(1) 负责任的创新作为实践中的一个过程而发生，我们建议一个框架来概述该过程。（2）我们建议“负责任的影响”是第五个领域，也是RI的输出。(3) 我们建议，负责任的影响可能是负责任投资过程的自然强化剂。我们建议，认识到 RI 实践影响的创新者更有可能继续那些负责任的流程。最后，
