Research program

In Fieri is a 7-year research program that obtained funding through the highly competitive “Foundation Scheme” of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR; 2015-2023). Responsible Innovation in Health (RIH) was developed by leading multiple studies structured around three research streams:

A. The design of RIH

  • To clarify what RIH is and what it is not, considering health system needs and challenges;
  • To define the processes and products of RIH by taking into account the views of clinicians and technology developers;

B. The emergence and contribution of RIH

  • To elicit the way alternative business models and entrepreneurship support the design and commercialization of RIH;
  • To analyse how patients, caregivers, clinicians and healthcare managers may participate to the co-design of RIH;

C. The institutionalization of RIH

  • To examine how social finance may support the development and scaling of RIH;
  • To identify the policy, reimbursement, procurement and health technology assessment mechanisms that interact with RIH.
