Societal and economic impact

This task will give insight how to direct the development of organ-on-chip technology towards maximal societal and economic impact. This task will: • Use early Health Technology Assessment to estimate the quantitative economic and societal impact of organ-on-chip technology for targeted drug development. • Perform literature studies and an extensive series of interviews with key-opinion leaders to identify the key issues and relevant criteria of success for organ-on-chip technologies (with WP2), thereby addressing the barriers and ethical and juridical boundaries (with WP2 and WP5). • Use Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to incorporate stakeholder views resulting in scenario’s for the further development of the organ-on-chip technology, and identify the most promising applications for organ-on-chip technology as well as the benefits of this prioritization (with WP2)
