The document summarizes the results of the Apollon pilot project evaluating the use of living lab networks for testing homecare and independent living services across borders. The pilot involved transferring three such services between four living labs in different countries. A key finding was that a common cross-border ecosystem model for living labs in healthcare was not feasible due to differences between countries in areas like value networks, organization of healthcare, regulations, and infrastructure. However, living labs could still effectively serve as brokers and matchmakers to enable cross-border collaboration by addressing issues around stakeholders, access to users, liability, ethics, rules, and safety. Based on this pilot, the document advocates for a domain-specific network of smart care living labs to facilitate knowledge

- 2. Apollon key objectives Evaluate the added value for SME’s to use networks of living labs to test and enter new markets cross- border Validate the added value of a (domain specific) living lab network Homecare & independent living services Energy efficiency eManufacturing eParticipation 10/10/2012 2
- 3. Objectives Homecare & Independent living experiments Evaluate Homecare and Independent Living services from different SME’s in another country Determine if it is feasible to develop a common ecosystem living lab model Provide a “lessons learned” in transferring or setting- up cross border living lab projects in homecare & independent living Develop common methods Develop common tools 10/10/2012 3

- 6. Important overall pilot results Common cross-border ecosystem model for living labs in healthcare isn’t feasible! Lots of differences: Value network differs: different actors with different roles Organization of healthcare differs User needs, user expectations, … IT-infrastructure Regulations … Living lab as broker and matchmaker 10/10/2012 6
- 7. Living lab as broker and matchmaker • Able to activate the right local stakeholders required for the SME • Able to provide direct access to end-users to SME with test and co-create AAL abroad product/s Cross-border • Provide insights in ervice Living Lab health system, regulations, etc. Local Living Lab Cross-border Living lab Local living lab ecosystem Cross-border Living Lab 10/10/2012 7

Critical elements identified during the pilot Living lab as facilitator and broker to address key issues and critical elements in cross-border healthcare projects Privacy Access to Liability end-users Rules & Ethics regulations Critical elements in cross-border collaboration Trust in health Local assessment Cost Safety 10/10/2012 Maturity 8
- 9. Conclusion Towards a network of smart care living labs Strong need for a domain specific network of living labs active in healthcare, homecare, independent living, AAL, wellbeing, smart care, prevention,… Knowledge & exchange platform Sharing domain specific knowledge and experience Developing domain specific methodologies and services Gateway & broker for new collaborations Active connecting and collaborating environment Networking with other Living Labs (cross-domain) 10/10/2012 9

Editor's Notes
- #2: Start & end date
- #3: Local living lab and cross-border living lab collaborate and support the SME / big company to transfer the service
- #4: We will not go into detail on the pilot level results – time is too shortFocus on overall lessons learnedVia living lab collaboration; the living Living lab helps to find a good match with the stakeholders and is able to activate the right local stakeholder required for the cross-border pilotThis is not possible in a predefined ecosystem model
- #5: Living lab as matchmaker – bring the SME in contact with ecosystems abroad via the living lab networkLiving lab abroad bringing the SME in contact with the right actorsLiving lab as broker: Living lab as broker – the living lab abroad knows how healthcare is organised, knows the actors and their roles, has direct access to end-users
- #6: With regard to cross-border pilots in Health various crucial aspects were identified in order to perform successful pilots. These aspects are critical in each stage of the experiment. Too often they are forgotten orneglected. In the APOLLON project we have listed those. The Living Labs appears to be a good facilitator and broker to address these issues. Not only do they often have the own expertise to guideSMEs or large enterprise directly, but they also have access to the necessary local stakeholders that are required to tackle these different aspects.
