This book introduces the field of Responsible Innovation in Health (RIH) by clarifying its theoretical foundations and the practical approaches that enable the design and production of responsible medical devices, health and social care interventions, digital tools and solutions based on artificial intelligence. It brings a lasting impact on the ways innovation stakeholders think about and develop solutions to twenty-first century challenges, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
