“…The RIH framework 14 and its assessment tool 18 were developed to provide tangible guidance regarding the responsibility challenges that new health products and services should tackle. Responsible Innovation in Health does not only focus on technological innovation; it also recognises that social innovation employing ‘community engagement and multi‐stakeholder approaches’ can cater to significant health needs and enable ‘more inclusive, affordable and effective’ care delivery 19 . The RIH framework articulates five value domains according to which health innovations should: (1) increase the ability to meet collective needs while tackling health inequalities (population health value); (2) provide an appropriate response to system‐level challenges (health system value); (3) deliver affordable high‐quality products (economic value); (4) reduce the environmental impacts of health innovations (environmental value); and (5) rely on business models through which value is provided not only to users and purchasers but also to society (organizational value) 14 .…”

“…Responsible Innovation in Health does not only focus on technological innovation; it also recognises that social innovation employing 'community engagement and multi-stakeholder approaches' can cater to significant health needs and enable 'more inclusive, affordable and effective' care delivery. 19 The RIH framework articulates five value domains according to which health innovations should: (1) increase the ability to meet collective needs while tackling health inequalities (population health value); (2) provide an appropriate response to system-level challenges (health system value); (3) deliver affordable high-quality products (economic value); (4) reduce the environmental impacts of health innovations (environmental value); and (5) rely on business models through which value is provided not only to users and purchasers but also to society (organizational value). 14 Distributed within these five value domains, nine responsibility attributes cover the processes leading to an innovation (e.g., inclusiveness, responsiveness), the characteristics of the innovation (e.g., frugality, eco-responsibility) as well as the organisation that brings it to end users (business model).…”

Aim To foster equity and make health systems economically and environmentally more sustainable, Responsible Innovation in Health (RIH) calls for policy changes advocated by mission‐oriented innovation policies. These policies focus, however, on instruments to foster the supply of innovations and neglect health policies that affect their uptake. Our study's aim is to inform policies that can support RIH by gaining insights into RIH‐oriented entrepreneurs' experience with the policies that influence both the supply of, and the demand for their innovations. Methods We recruited 16 for‐profit and not‐for‐profit organisations engaged in the production of RIH in Brazil and Canada in a longitudinal multiple case study. Our dataset includes three rounds of interviews (n = 48), self‐reported data, and fieldnotes. We performed qualitative thematic analyses to identify across‐cases patterns. Findings RIH‐oriented entrepreneurs interact with supply side policies that support technology‐led solutions because of their economic potential but that are misaligned with societal challenge‐led solutions. They navigate demand side policies where market approval and physician incentives largely condition the uptake of technology‐led solutions and where emerging policies bring some support to societal challenge‐led solutions. Academic intermediaries that bridge supply and demand side policies may facilitate RIH, but our findings point to an overall lack of policy directionality that limits RIH. Conclusion As mission‐oriented innovation policies aim to steer innovation towards the tackling of societal challenges, they call for a major shift in the public sector's role. A comprehensive mission‐oriented policy approach to RIH requires policy instruments that can align, orchestrate, and reconcile health priorities with a renewed understanding of innovation‐led economic development.

“…Thus people should not just be passive beneficiaries, but should actively contribute and collaborate in healthcare improvement initiatives with social innovations. 3 This may be encouraged by health research courses in the universities of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and by providing incentives in the form of recognition and awards at national level. 4,5 Social prescribing is one such approach to improve social needs, such as those related to loneliness, housing instability and mental health.…”
