RadioVal social innovation sessions

The RadioVal project already gathered 36 people into its social innovation sessions discussing the needs and challenges of this AI tool for breast cancer.

On the 14th and 15th March, SHINE 2Europe, the leading partner of Work Package 1, organised two online social innovation sessions to start the co-creation process of RadioVal with different stakeholders around Europe.

The two sessions started with a short introduction to the RadioVal project, including the objectives, facts and figures, and partners in the consortium. Then, Carina Dantas from SHINE described the social innovation framework of RadioVal, including the outcomes of previous tasks, such as stakeholder mapping, and explained the plans and the goals of the social innovation sessions.

The goal of these initial sessions was to identify the biggest challenges that RadioVal needs to overcome for the successful implementation. The participants were invited to bring forward and discuss the potential challenges of the project under key words such as Trust, Privacy, and Bias.

Many more innovation sessions will be happening locally and online in the near future. We invite all future stakeholders of RadioVal to join.  An open call for participants will be issued soon!

Her are some of the key points to be discussed in the following sessions:

  • How to ensure that professionals and patients can trust the RadioVal tool? The General Practitioner and the oncologist will be key actors to ensure trust and to do that they need to fully understand how RadioVal will work and how it will be integrated in their daily practice.
  • How will human oversight work? The healthcare professionals will always take the decisions. RadioVal just advises. But how is liability foreseen?
  • How will RadioVal be exploited? Will it be a standalone tool or integrated in other existing systems?


Exciting questions for the follow-up!
