<p>We started by using the<strong> Value-Sensitive Design (VSD)</strong> approach because it helped us identify our project in relation to problems and values. It also facilitated a discourse between team members and stakeholders about the meaning of these values in our project and how to carry out a responsible approach. <ahref="#cite1"style="color: #185A4F;">[1]</a> This entailed thoroughly anticipating both positive and negative impacts of our project and thinking of safety and security and the ethical and social problems created by its potential application. </p>
<p>The steps of our <strong>HP</strong> and <strong>Integrated HP approach</strong>, based on the <strong>VSD analysis</strong>, are shown in <strong>Figure 1.</strong> The VSD consists of three main phases namely the conceptual, empirical and technical part. We applied these stages in our HP work. In the <strong> conceptual part</strong>, we assessed who are the stakeholders impacted by our idea and what values are at relevance. This way, we gained a better understanding of whom to engage with and what questions we wanted to ask. The <strong>empirical part</strong> consisted of reaching out to some of these stakeholders with different backgrounds, and to experts that could help us think about the different fields of impacts mentioned before. During the <strong>technical part</strong> we integrated all gathered information from the conceptual and empirical parts to minimise potential risks associated with our project and to come up with alternative approaches. This also meant that we had to make compromises between conflicting design choices. </p>

<p>As we learned from the conversations with different stakeholders, defining to what problem our idea serves as a solution is very important from the aspect of responsible innovation. It was also the first step of our VSD analysis. </p>
