Open Innovation, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, Occupational Health, Data ProtectionAbstract
This study examines the integration of open innovation, intellectual property (IP), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in occupational health, focusing on the prevention and promotion of workers’ well-being. An integrative literature review (2020–2025) identified successful collaborative models, such as real-time surveillance platforms and wearable devices integrated with predictive analytics, capable of anticipating risks and providing immediate feedback. Findings indicate that the effectiveness of these solutions depends on the synergy between continuous data collection, AI’s analytical capacity, and multisectoral collaboration. However, adoption faces barriers such as cultural resistance, regulatory gaps, and interoperability challenges. The study highlights the need for robust IP management strategies, co-ownership clauses, and compliance with regulations such as LGPD, GDPR, and HIPAA. It concludes that aligning collaboration, legal security, and data governance is essential to maximize both technological and social benefits, ultimately fostering safer, healthier, and more productive workplaces.
