During the last decade, living lab and co-creation concepts have started being blended with Responsible Research Innovation approach, aiming to evaluate potential societal anticipations toward fostering an inclusive RRI behavior. Teaching concept methodologies university students has been considered as valuable for future researchers along demand of companies public sectors which turn user-center techniques inspiration develop innovative services. To this end, scientific publications...
Abstract Information and Communication Technology can turn older adults’ homes into smart living environments, decreasing the need for support improving life quality. However, new technology has high uncertainty in terms of acceptance. Co-creation approaches are proposed to reach acceptability, usability satisfaction, but performance evaluations sparse. This paper aimed at presenting evaluation a hybrid approach Agile co-creation framework, specially designed large, distributed consortia...
Health and Wellbeing Living Labs are a valuable research infrastructure for exploring innovative solutions to tackle complex healthcare challenges promote overall wellbeing. A knowledge gap exists in categorizing understanding the types of ICT tools technical devices employed by Labs. Define comprehensive taxonomy that effectively categorizes organizes digital data collection intervention Lab studies. modified consensus-seeking Delphi study was conducted, starting with pre-study involving...
Intending to enable a broader collaboration with the scientific community while maintaining privacy of data stored and generated in Living Labs, this paper presents Shareable Data Publishing Access Service for implemented within framework H2020 VITALISE project. Building upon previous work, significant enhancements improvements are presented architecture enabling Labs securely publish collected an internal isolated node external use. External researchers can access portal discover download...
Ecologically valid evaluations of patient states or well-being by means new technologies is a key issue in contemporary research health and the aging population. The in-game metrics generated from interaction users with serious games (SG) can potentially be used to predict characterize user's state well-being. There currently an increasing body that investigates use measures as digital biomarkers for well-being.The aim this paper data collected during interactions SG, using values standard...
Conventional clinical cognitive assessment has its limitations, as evidenced by the environmental shortcomings of various neuropsychological tests conducted away from an older person’s everyday environment. Recent research activities have focused on transferring screening to computerized forms, well developing short for large populations impairment. The purpose this study was present exergaming platform, which widely trialed (116 participants) collect in-game metrics (built-in game...
Preventive care and telemedicine are expected to play an important role in reducing the impact of increasingly aging global population while increasing number healthy years. Virtual coaching is a promising research area support this process. This paper presents user-centered virtual coach for older adults at home promote active independent living. It supports behavior change processes improving on cognitive, physical, social interaction nutrition areas using specific, measurable, achievable,...
CAPTAIN project (Coach Assistant via Projected and TAngible INterface) is part of a research innovation action, funded by the European Union, which aims at developing an innovative technology to help older adults overcoming frailties as they age. will develop behavioral Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms provide personalized advice, guidance follow-up compensate for keyage-related impairments during daily living, helping remain active independent their home. This include risk avoidance,...
Our work exhibits how previous projects on the Active and Healthy Ageing field have advanced to conception of CAPTAIN, a radically new approach towards increased end-user acceptance. The goal is create intuitive technology that does not require specific skills for interaction blends in with real life. CAPTAIN will be co-designed by all types stakeholders, including older adults, involved stages, from initial design delivery final system.
Prior studies have argued that the value living labs are providing is blurry. Grounded on lab experts’ opinions, study defines key proposition elements for Labs. An online workshop was arranged in which 22 experts provided a total of 208 suggestions researcher, policy maker and public authority, SME/company customer segments different Technology Readiness Level (TRL) phases. As result, following seven main categories including 31 items were identified: 1) Enhanced collaboration networking...
This paper presents a virtual coach for older adults at home to support active and healthy aging, independent living. It aids users in their behavior change process improving on cognitive, physical, social interaction nutrition areas using SMART goals. To achieve an effective of the user, relies I-Change behavioral model. Using combination projectors, cameras, microphones sensors, adult's becomes augmented reality environment, where common objects are used projection sensed. Older interact...
Co-design supports the identification of useful features and insights for design technologies from populations such as older adults who are often neglected process. This paper presents results thinking approach consoriums' within CAPTAIN H2020 funded project aims at developing an e-coaching, home assistant. Focus is given on coaching dimensions system derived ideation session with consortium's expertise. The Ideate which was conducted through plenary face-to-face open discussion meeting, 26...
Recent research discourse has emphasized the role of ecological validity for cognitive health measurements/assessments. To this extent, serious games have been sought not only as a contemporary added value intervention and physical health, but also considered great potential in contributing on early detection deterioration when in-game metrics/analytics are evaluated. Thus, recent started investigating use built-in gameplay measures assessment tools performance indicators. This study...
Living Labs are user-centered, open innovation ecosystems based on a systematic user cocreation approach, which integrates research and processes in real-life communities settings. The Horizon 2020 Project VITALISE (Virtual Health Wellbeing Lab Infrastructure) unites 19 partners across 11 countries. project aims to harmonize procedures enable effective convenient transnational virtual access key European health well-being infrastructures, governed by Labs. consortium will conduct joint...
Virtual Health and Wellbeing Living Lab Infrastructure is a Horizon 2020 project that aims to harmonize procedures facilitate access European health well-being research infrastructures. In this context, study presents joint activity will be conducted within in the transitional care domain test validate harmonized The collection of data from various sources (information communications technology clinical patient-reported outcome measures) demonstrated capacity assess risk support decisions...
T e-Coaches are promising intelligent systems that aims at supporting human everyday life, dispatching advices through different interfaces, such as apps, conversational interfaces and augmented reality interfaces. This workshop exploring how e-coaches might benefit from spatially time-multiplexed communication modalities (e.g., text, visual, audio, etc.) according to the context of interaction.
This paper presents a data triangulation for identifying and validating the key challenges that clinicians face when using pervasive technologies in real-life, clinical settings. The collection process comprised three phases: literature exploration, co-creation session with clinicians, pilot testing of operational system at "Hippokration" General Hospital Thessaloniki. Analysis was conducted triangulation, combining information from literature, sessions, testing. Results identified...
Stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are leading causes of morbidity mortality, affecting survivors' mobility social participation. Although personalized interventions could positively impact recovery, the effectiveness such remains unclear. Open-access data repositories can provide access to multiple shared which help uncover new evidence effective interventions; however, harmonizing between different studies requires many steps make it possible given various methods collection,...
