Ana Vieira serves as an Assistant Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon) and as a Researcher at the Centre for Management Studies of Instituto Superior Técnico (CEG-IST). Her research focuses on participatory and collaborative decision-making methodologies within multi-stakeholder contexts, with an emphasis on multicriteria decision analysis and foresight methods applied to public health and healthcare systems. Ana developed the Collaborative Value Modelling (CVM) framework, integrating Web-Delphi processes with decision conferencing to enhance group consensus-building. This work, published in Omega, has been recognized with awards from the Portuguese Operational Research Society and INFORMS & Society of Decision Professionals. The CVM framework served as the foundation for the H2020 IMPACT HTA and FCT MEDI-VALUE projects, which advanced methodological tools for evaluating pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and healthcare policies in collaboration with hospitals, Health Technology Assessment agencies, and regulatory bodies. Ana’s contributions include the development of the ANIPHI platform, a collaborative online tool for ethical and scientific discussions on animal welfare, now widely adopted across Europe. In 2024, she introduced the Participant Input Analyzer, an NLP-based tool designed to identify biases in stakeholder engagement processes, enhancing transparency and equity in decision-making frameworks. Ana is currently working on the collaborative design of a serious game as a medical device for assessing health-related quality of life in pediatric populations, which earned an Honorable Mention from the Rui Osório de Castro/Millennium BCP Prize. Since 2021, Ana has served as Vice-President of the European Public Health Association’s (EUPHA) Foresight Section. She actively contributes to knowledge transfer through the supervision of Ph.D. and MSc theses, fostering collaborations with industry and public sector stakeholders to ensure the practical application of her research outputs.
