    Esta tesis se enmarca en el proyecto europeo i-CONSENT (H2020, GA 741856) y se enfoca en el consentimiento informado (CI) en el contexto de la investigaci贸n biom茅dica. Su objetivo principal es analizar la problem谩tica actual del CI y proponer recomendaciones que mejoren su comprensibilidad y adaptabilidad a las necesidades y preferencias de la poblaci贸n objetivo. La tesis consta de 6 art铆culos que abarcan diversas actividades llevadas a cabo durante los casi 4 a帽os de duraci贸n del proyecto, brind谩ndonos una visi贸n integral de su evoluci贸n y proporcionando una idea de la experiencia de participar en 茅l. Adem谩s, la tesis incluye una secci贸n dedicada a las principales vivencias y aprendizajes como coordinador t茅cnico del proyecto. Desde una perspectiva acad茅mica, los art铆culos abordan distintos aspectos relacionados con el CI en investigaci贸n, combinando metodolog铆as te贸ricas, como la revisi贸n sistem谩tica de la literatura y los textos legales, con metodolog铆as participativas que dan voz a las principales partes interesadas, como grupos nominales o design thinking. Esta combinaci贸n de enfoques permite recopilar informaci贸n relevante que facilita una mejor comprensi贸n de las complejidades y desaf铆os asociados con el CI. Dentro de la tesis, se examinan diversos aspectos, como la percepci贸n de los potenciales participantes sobre la comprensi贸n del CI, las expectativas de participaci贸n de los pacientes, el asentimiento en menores y las perspectivas de g茅nero. Tambi茅n se analiza el contenido del asentimiento informado desde diferentes perspectivas, incluyendo la legislaci贸n y la literatura cient铆fica, con el objetivo de comprender las diferencias en la percepci贸n de legisladores, investigadores, padres y menores. Otro tema abordado es el uso e impacto de las herramientas digitales en el CI. Adem谩s, se proporciona una visi贸n general del proyecto y se presentan gu铆as con recomendaciones para mejorar el CI, destacando los factores clave identificados durante la investigaci贸n. Se eval煤a la idoneidad de las recomendaciones a trav茅s de la opini贸n de expertos representativos de las distintas partes interesadas, y se muestra la implementaci贸n pr谩ctica de las gu铆as para la elaboraci贸n de materiales de asentimiento. En resumen, la tesis ofrece un an谩lisis exhaustivo del CI en investigaci贸n, abordando aspectos espec铆ficos y enfatizando la importancia de la inclusi贸n, al mismo tiempo que presenta recomendaciones para mejorar el proceso del CI.This PhD thesis is part of the European i-CONSENT project (H2020, GA 741856) and focuses on informed consent (IC) in the context of biomedical research. Its main objective is to analyse the current problems of IC and propose recommendations to improve its comprehensibility and adaptability to the needs and preferences of the target population. The thesis consists of 6 articles covering various activities carried out during the almost 4 years of the project, giving us a comprehensive view of its evolution and providing an insight into the experience of participating in it. In addition, the thesis includes a section dedicated to the main experiences and lessons learned as technical coordinator of the project. From an academic perspective, the articles address different aspects related to CI in research, combining theoretical methodologies, such as the systematic review of literature and legal texts, with participatory methodologies that give voice to the main stakeholders, such as focus groups or design thinking. This combination of approaches allows for the collection of relevant information that facilitates a better understanding of the complexities and challenges associated with IC. Within the thesis, various aspects are examined, such as potential participants' perceptions of understanding IC, patients' expectations of participation, assent in minors and gender perspectives. The content of informed consent is also analysed from different perspectives, including legislation and scientific literature, with the aim of understanding the differences in the perceptions of legislators, researchers, parents and minors. Another topic addressed is the use and impact of digital tools in IC. In addition, an overview of the project is provided and guidelines with recommendations for improving IC are presented, highlighting the key factors identified during the research. The appropriateness of the recommendations is assessed through the opinion of experts representing different stakeholders, and the practical implementation of the guidelines for the development of assent materials is shown. In summary, the research thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of IC in research, addressing specific aspects and emphasising the importance of inclusiveness, while presenting recommendations for improving the IC process
