Smart Health
The LIV_IN project identified and collected best practices for applying Responsible Innovation (RI) methodologies in the creation of smart eHealth and healthy living products and services. By engaging with relevant projects and initiatives, the project gathered use cases and successful examples of smart technologies in eHealth, highlighting the benefits of RI methodologies in anticipating future challenges related to the adoption and acceptance of smart eHealth products. Particular attention was given to the challenges and dilemmas of RI in the public health sector, integrating both community and commercial perspectives, and mapping a sustainable path forward.
Smart Homes
The LIV_IN project explored the future of smart homes and the delicate balance between having control and being controlled, a topic that gained traction during the COVID-19 pandemic as more people sought to enhance their living spaces. The number of smart homes in Europe is increasing, raising important considerations about responsible innovation due to the extensive personal data these homes collect. Within the LIV_IN project, crucial questions were discussed, including how to ensure transparency in data use, the adequacy of current EU data privacy regulations, the potential for new data-sharing business models that benefit all users, and ways to respect the privacy of individuals unable to communicate their preferences.

→ Internet of Things – Predictable Technologies for messy lives? (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3)
→ Responsible innovation for smart public transport
Inclusive Innovation
The LIV_IN project organized a series of webinars focused on inclusive innovation, highlighting the importance of involving diverse groups—such as older people, low-income families, and visually impaired or blind individuals—in the innovation process. From a mere business perspective, inclusive innovation points to the market potential of involving the needs of people from diverse physical and social backgrounds in product and service development. However, it is not all about profit. True inclusive innovation is also in line with the principles of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). RRI demands participation of citizens and stakeholders and making sustainability and ethics integral parts of the innovation process.
