An open innovation approach to co-produce scientific knowledge: an examination of citizen science in the healthcare ecosystem

Maria Vincenza Ciasullo, Maria Rosaria Carli, Weng Marc Lim, Rocco Palumbo · 2021 · European Journal of Innovation Management

Summary. Citizen science—where lay people participate in research—can drive innovation in healthcare by enabling large-scale data collection, educating the public, and co-creating value with scientists. The authors examined citizen science projects tackling COVID-19 and found that engaging non-experts as data collectors and analysts strengthens healthcare ecosystems. They argue policymakers must support lay participation in scientific research to address major health challenges.
