Project description
Harmonisation of procedures of health and well-being living labs
Living labs are key to integrating research and innovation processes in real-life settings, and with a focus on people and their engagement in research procedures. To support these living labs, the EU-funded VITALISE project will develop ICT tools for shared access on similar devices and applications. It will also create a harmonisation body to proceed towards the harmonisation of procedures of health and well-being living labs. The ICT tools will also enable shared access of similar devices and applications used across living labs. By opening up living lab infrastructures, the project will help to promote research activities in the health and well-being domain in Europe and beyond.
Objective
Researchers in the Health and Wellbeing domain need 1) convenient access to research infrastructures, 2) direct engagement of people in order to validate hypotheses, co-design solutions and services, evaluate their feasibility and effectiveness and participate in the translation and mobilization of outcomes and 3) experience from multidisciplinary domains (e.g. healthcare management, assistive technologies, data science) to deal with the complexity of health and wellbeing research.
Over the last few years, Living Labs have emerged as resilient research and innovation infrastructures and have proved to be key to the integration of research and innovation processes in real life settings, focusing primarily on people and their engagement in research procedures. VITALISE opens up Living Lab Infrastructures as a means to facilitate and promote research activities in the Health and Wellbeing domain in Europe and beyond by enabling in-person Transnational Access to 17 Living Lab research infrastructures and by supporting remote digital access to datasets (Virtual Access) of rehabilitation, transitional care and everyday life activities through harmonized processes and common tools. VITALISE will design and develop ICT tools for shared access of similar devices and applications used across Living Labs, as well as for collecting, storing and sharing datasets. Lastly, VITALISE will invest in the development of Training methods towards the wider understanding and valorisation of Living Lab methodologies in the research community.
