IntroductionObesiTIC is a project which aims to investigate innovative information and communication technologies resulting in a new ICT tool specifically designed for children and teenagers, in order to acquire healthy lifestyles, promoting physical activity and avoiding health and social problems associated with obesity and overweight. This is achieved through its co-design and validation with children and teens following a Living Lab approach through SPORTIS Living Lab, a European Network of Living Lab's effective member. Objectives 1. To develop an innovative solution that would enable healthrelated behaviour changes, increase motivation, promote physical activity and reduce prolonged sedentary time in users, thanks to persuasive and ubiquitous computing techniques. 2. To be validated by SPORTIS Living Lab. Following SPORTIS aim to involve society in the innovation process, ObesiTIC will be validated by end-users (children and teenagers) combined with the development of the application and final product, in order to suit and respect all the needs and aspects of the users' requirements. Methods A Living Lab methodology is implemented:1. Exploring and identifying potential end users 2. Co-design with end users 3. Testing through focus groups Expected Results1. Visibility, recognition and implication by the administration, user groups and SMEs. 2. Different cross-border and local activities, like the People Olympics Initiative, which is an international initiative for social innovation based on collective physical activity competitions between cities around the world. 3. Scale the project up to all ages and to different European countries contributing to the initiative, involving European SMEs to test and validate it. A2Ocean Living Lab. An innovative structure for co-conception and experimentation in nautical sports Jokin Garatea, Idoia Muñoz GAIA, Association of Electronic and Information Technologies in the Basque Country, Bilbao, Spain Correspondence: Idoia Muñoz (idoia@gaia.es) BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation 2017, 9(Suppl 1):A2 IntroductionOcean Living Lab comprises a new level of collaborative endeavour, pooling energies, capabilities and methodologies to resolve common problems, to innovate around new uses and to test new equipment in nautical sports much more effectively. Ocean LL intends to address the territorial challenges of promoting the marine/ aquatic sector and the competitiveness of these enterprises through open innovation, bringing together economic operators (water sector and technologies), user communities, R&D centers and universities to build a marine sector of excellence and an economic development engine. Objectives -To foster the practice of the greatest number of water-related activities by developing new and entirely safe usages in a preserved environment. -To make the Basque coast a land of excellence for coconception and experimentation in real conditions of new products and services in nautical sports by developing optimal conditions for participation by all kinds...
