Methodological proposal to explore and design future health innovation policies and opportunities for Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) seeks to align the research results with the needs of society to respond to current and future problems, also encompassing financial instruments, innovative public policies, and the distribution of resources. These policies should prioritize research in those areas with the greatest impact on society, and particularly in health research, this impact should be focused on responding to clinical problems of the population rather than economic impact. A methodology is proposed that uses information from open sources to identify discrepancies between the results of the most translational research of a region and its health needs, in order to provide useful information for the formulation of innovation policies.
