“…Numerous wearables have been proposed for the surveillance of people and specifically for fall detection [12, 14, 15] over the last 30 years. These include portable devices such as pedometers [16], accelerometers [17], gyroscopes and panic pushbuttons [18], inertial sensors such as smartphones, magnetic sensors [19] and infrared, vibratory, acoustic [20]. Although these devices give good results [21] on fall identification (98%), most of these wearables solutions suffer from limiting factors [8]: Must be worn (depends on user compliance or thinking about it if you wake up at night to go to the bathroom). Easily broken if they fall, get a shock or if someone sits on it. Need to be recharged (difficult for patients with dementia). Stigmatising for people. Respect for privacy. …”

“…Within assistive technology, studies have presented how using techniques to engage a range of stakeholders can assist in creating solutions that integrate into people's lives, for example, rehabilitation advancement for people with multiple sclerosis [30], and technological innovation for people living with dementia [31]. Living laboratories that monitor everyday activities of people within real-life scenarios have enabled researchers to evaluate the usability of healthcare technologies and assess health outcomes [32]. Participatory research methods implemented within living laboratories have provided an opportunity for users to share feedback and suggestions for solution improvements [32].…”

“…Living laboratories that monitor everyday activities of people within real-life scenarios have enabled researchers to evaluate the usability of healthcare technologies and assess health outcomes [32]. Participatory research methods implemented within living laboratories have provided an opportunity for users to share feedback and suggestions for solution improvements [32]. A consistent factor within these examples is the involvement of patients or users, as collaborators within the research process, and how their involvement informs research outcomes.…”

Co-Creation Facilitates Translational Research on Upper Limb Prosthetics

et al. 2021

People who either use an upper limb prosthesis and/or have used services provided by a prosthetic rehabilitation centre, hereafter called users, are yet to benefit from the fast-paced growth in academic knowledge within the field of upper limb prosthetics. Crucially over the past decade, research has acknowledged the limitations of conducting laboratory-based studies for clinical translation. This has led to an increase, albeit rather small, in trials that gather real-world user data. Multi-stakeholder collaboration is critical within such trials, especially between researchers, users, and clinicians, as well as policy makers, charity representatives, and industry specialists. This paper presents a co-creation model that enables researchers to collaborate with multiple stakeholders, including users, throughout the duration of a study. This approach can lead to a transition in defining the roles of stakeholders, such as users, from participants to co-researchers. This presents a scenario whereby the boundaries between research and participation become blurred and ethical considerations may become complex. However, the time and resources that are required to conduct co-creation within academia can lead to greater impact and benefit the people that the research aims to serve.

“…Even though LL literature in the healthcare context is increasing, there are still few studies on the subject. Among them, some scholars have attempted to identify a list of factors that can be used to build and manage an LL in healthcare [14,[32][33][34][35][36]. Van Geenhuizen, for example, dedicated particular attention to the challenges related to the management of stakeholders' networks and multi-stakeholder cooperation [35,36], and Callari and colleagues investigated the needs and requirements of the involvement of end-users as participants in LL initiatives [37].…”

The Italian Case of Lecco Innovation Living Lab: Stakeholders’ Needs and Activities to Contribute to the Technological Innovation Process in Healthcare

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Healthcare technological innovation is a very complex process in which different actors interact with each other, creating a large number of interconnections and synergies in the design of technological innovations. Despite the increasing number of living labs (LLs) in healthcare, building and maintaining LLs for technological innovation in healthcare is challenging. Collaboration with stakeholders remains an issue of major concern in healthcare. The purpose of this paper is to identify stakeholders’ needs in building an LL in healthcare and to plan activities to foster the innovation process. The paper is based on an exploratory single case study investigating an Italian LL. Eight stakeholders’ needs were identified and validated. Specific activities were identified as improving the innovation process in terms of the stakeholders’ needs. The study contributes to the development of domain-specific knowledge and, as such, to the fostering of studies on and the implementation of LLs in healthcare.
