Living Lab: Precision Agriculture Living Lab – PA4AL Country: Serbia

Project Description: Studies show that although 23 million people in Europe are employed in the agri-food chain, (10% of total EU employment), only up to 24% of European farmers use ICTs in their work routine (compared to 80% in the USA). The root for this disproportion can be found in market concept which favorizes technology push, rather than a user-driven approach.

PA4ALL living lab and its host organization BioSense Institute were key partners in the FP7 FRACTALS project, aimed at supporting the community of innovative ICT SMEs to develop FIWARE-based applications with high market potential, addressing the needs of the agrifood sector. PA4ALL was focused at connecting ICT community with end-users (farmers) and breaking the stereotypes that both sides have. Inspired by the speed-dating methodology, PA4ALL introduced an innovative approach in collaboration framework establishment – the speed dating sessions and facilitated numerous B2B meetings where people from both ICT and agri-food industry presented their problems, ideas, and discussed the same topics from different perspectives.

Some broken myths are: Farmers don’t know how to use ICTs (reality: ICT companies are developing technologies first and then searching for problems to solve); Farmers don’t want to invest money in ICT (reality: Farmers are reluctant to share information).

Main Outcomes: 1) Established Open Innovation environment between ICT and agricultural industries 2) Broken stereotypes between technology developers and agricultural end-users 3) Co-creation and validation of ICT solutions for agriculture between programmers and farmers in real-life setting

Rallye Decouverte

Living Lab: Autonom’lab Country: France Project Description: The overall objective of the project is to improve the quality of the home services delivered to elderly people or people with a disability. Autonom’lab identified and made an “analysis” of a home worker’s professional life who plays a major role in keeping older people independent at home. We met 90 professionals working in the field in order to investigate their perception of the difficulties during the different steps of the professional career of home workers.

Particularly, 10 homeworkers were interviewed and 2 were observed during a workday.

In order to make this job more attractive they established a “state of the art” of the actual conditions of a home care worker (identifying 10 steps of their professional career concerning training, employment conditions, opportunity to advance in his career, job conditions, recognition from other health professionals) and then we identified the bottlenecks on the pathway for which a solution should be find. It has been a collaborative experience realized with and by stakeholders from the whole regional ecosystem: 56 people were brought together during workshops (social care workers, health professionals, training schools, employment organizations, home care organizations) to find innovations in order to make this job more recognizable, and improve their professionalization.

Main Outcomes: 1) Good practices were identified particularly in HR management.

2) The most important outcome was that four projects were selected by the steering group to be set up after this study: a rally to discover home workers job, sharing and spreading of good practices among actors of the New French region “Nouvelle-Aquitaine”, an innovative training course for homeworkers, development of ICT innovation to improve working conditions of homeworkers.

3) The first project, a rally to discover the home workers job was realized during one month in 2016 and was a success including 40 partners, 220 people participating, 44 workshops etc.

“Ilona” Robot Brings Joy in Elderly Care

Living Lab: Lahti Living Lab Country: Finland Project Description: Interest in using service robots is increasing in elderly care. Within Lahti Living Lab, a case study was conducted in 2016 to identify the impacts and acceptance of care robot implementation among users in elderly care services – care personnel and elderly customers – with the help of the Human Impact Assessment approach. The data was collected in elderly care services in the city of Lahti (in two round-the-clock serviced care homes and a geriatric hospital) between December 2015 – April 2016, when the service robot ‘Zora’ was introduced to these organizations. It was mainly used for activity and recreation purposes, but also for support in rehabilitation. The data was collected during 27 sessions through ethnographic observation and focus group interviews of the care personnel (34 people) and customers (5 people). According to the findings, the implementation of the robot has many kinds of impacts on the elderly customers, care personnel and care work. The attitudes towards robotics in care are twofold: both enthusiasm and fears exist. The ‘place’ of robotics in care is still in many ways undefined. Implementation of robots in elderly care requires rethinking of services, careful consideration of ethical questions and good orientation.

Main Outcomes: 1) After the first steps of robot use, there is potential for true rehabilitative work and activities with the help of the robot, if its use is well planned.

2) Implementation of robots in elderly care requires rethinking of the services, work practices and ethics; it is an issue of the whole (work) community.

3) Reactions differ, and care personnel should know the customers well to be able to anticipate how they react; orientation for both care personnel and customers is of vital importance to highlight essential issues and co-create practices together.

Living Lab: Living Labs Taiwan Country: Taiwan, R.O.C. Project Description: Aiming to promote health and well-being of all citizens and extend Healthy Life Expectancy (HALE), Living Labs Taiwan has launched a health promotion empirical research project in 2016. The purpose was to assess and verify the feasibility and effectiveness of exercise management using a wearable device supported by health management IoT cloud service.

The experiment involved 118 volunteers (35 males and 83 females aged 20-60) with a time span of 8 weeks conducted in 8 private companies / community fitness centres in Taipei, Taiwan. Heart rate monitor armband wearable devices equipped with ©VitExercise App powered by health management IoT cloud were used to record users’ physical fitness (cardiorespiratory capacity, muscular endurance, body flexibility), body compositions (weight, BMI, body fat percentage), and body measurements (waist-to-hip ratio, waistline, hips, upper-arm / thigh circumferences). Research findings showed that the “wearable device plus exercise management App (©VitExercise)” has been verified and proven effective in both encouraging users’ workout habit and improving physical fitness. There has been a 63% increase in cardiorespiratory capacity, 71% increase in muscular endurance, and 80% increase in body flexibility. The favorable results promise a gateway to public health promotion with focus on the importance of physical activity in promoting health and preventing obesity.

The implication of this study also best exemplifies hardware-software ICT integration with an innovative service model which enables the users to gain control over their bodies and health.

Main Outcomes: 1) Presumption of promoting regular exercise using a wearable device with App supported by health management IoT cloud proved to be effective. The “Wearable Device (heart rate monitor armband) + Exercise Management (©VitExercise App) + Health Management IoT Cloud” approach has proved to be effective with positive results. It changed the participants’ behavior toward exercise and improved physical fitness as well.

2) Fitness incentive made easy and exercise routine established. Motivation is something we all struggle with when it comes to exercise. The ©VitExercise App is geared toward motivating exercise routine and maintaining physical fitness. The explicit change of participants’ behavior from inspirational workout to exercise routine has been observed.

The experiment results showed that in general, participants have increased their weekly workout time. Roughly 40% of the participants exercised over 2 hours per week (among the participants, 18% increased 2-3 hours of workout time and 19% increased 3 hours and more).

3) Visibly improves the user’s physical fitness and body shape. When properly planned, exercise guarantees health and fitness pay-off. The research indicated major fitness improvements of the participants. The health indexes, including weight, BMI, body fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio, waistline, hips, and upper-arm / thigh circumferences, have shown satisfying results.

More information: Our entire body and mind benefit from exercise. We advocate lifestyle improvement rather than medicine and cure. In order to reach the objective of Whole Health, it is essential to choose a smart gear with a smart system. This study has set up a good example of software-hardware IOT integration and explored an innovative B2B2C health service model.

The fitness wearable device (heart rate monitor armband) monitors heart rate with accuracy and allows the users to keep track of their exercise records and maximize workout effects.

The technologies offer insights such as physical fitness, body compositions, and body measurements. ©VitExercise App provides self-training and tailored exercise prescription based on individual user’s sex, age, height, weight, and body measurements targeting at user’s desired health/fitness goals. The App allows the users to read and record their physiological data and receive quantitative exercise prescription, including: type of exercise, intensity, duration, frequency and precaution reminders. The app receives data from the wearable device and transmits to health management IoT cloud for analytics. With further expansion of the project, we expect to see a more aggressive attitude and awareness toward physical activity, a more comprehensive participation in health promotion, and an emphasis on preventative healthcare rather than curative care.

SmartLive

Living Lab: PRAXLABS Country: Germany Project Description: The SmartLive project aims to develop new concepts and strategies for smart home systems, focusing specifically on usability and user experience. To address this, the design of smart devices and services for the domestic area requires a profound understanding of the structure of households: their daily routines, individual needs and even their fears.

PRAXLABS therefore set up a local living lab sample with 12 households in the west of Germany and involved them from the beginning of the project. Throughout the project’s progression the living lab conducted initial context studies and investigated how users appropriate those smart home systems which are currently available on the market. Based on these insights, they acquired the first design requirements which were then concretized within workshops to design various prototypes. The investigation of long-term appropriation and iterative design processes are currently running in the field.

Additionally, the aim is to create specific living lab services for the heterogeneous players in the smart home market. The intention is to qualify and empower small and medium enterprises to use living lab methods and infrastructures. PRAXLABS hope that the integration into their daily business will highlight the benefits of sustainable and consequent development of IoT artefacts in practice.

Main Outcomes: 1) A provider-independent information platform 2) The Shop & Play approach combines the ordering and configuration process of a smart home system 3) open.DASH: To overcome the issue of the visualization of individual and evolving information demands of the smart home, open.DASH is designed as a flexible dashboard tool that provides a hybrid interface

Living Lab: Botnia Living Lab & imec.livinglabs Country: Sweden Project Description: USEMP aimed at developing a framework that will empower users by enhancing their control over the data they distribute or interact with. The outcome of the project was a tool called DataBait which reduces the existing asymmetry between data processing and control means available to OSNs and those afforded by citizens. USEMP used a multidisciplinary approach that relied on four core domains: (a) empirical user research that combines lab and living lab studies, (b) legal studies that deal with the complex legal framework related to personal data, (c) multimedia information extraction adapted to user empowerment in OSNs and (d) tools for semiautomatic user assistance in personal data sharing management. In USEMP many experiments were related to user research, notably using a living lab approach following the FormIT methodology. The FormIT methodology guided the living lab approach from early design of the concepts till the evaluation of final artefact. Botnia and iMinds/imec living labs employed different living lab approaches to make end users active and engaged throughout USEMP project. Botnia living lab was specifically interested in the phenomena of the user drop out within living labs. In total, around 400 users were engaged at various stages of the project and numerous methodologies such as workshops, interviews, focus groups and surveys were conducted within 3 phases of innovation concept evaluation, prototype and final innovation.

Main Outcomes: 1) The contribution of the project is converged into the DataBait tool.

Agrimatics for Biodiversity

Living Lab: BIRD Living Lab Country: Spain Project Description: The project consisted of a study of the exotic invasive plant Cortaderia selloana in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve in Basque Country, Spain. The study explored the origin and the biology of the plant as well as reasons that cause the expansion of this invasive plant. Cortaderia selloana, due to its rapid growth and capacity to disperse quickly, has been displacing the native flora, degrading natural habitats and causing the loss of biodiversity. In order to solve this problem, this study aimed to investigate different uses of Cortaderia selloana by examining the different possible eliminations that exist to choose the appropriate disposal while avoid damaging the native plants present in Urdaibai.

After the plant has been eliminated, it was investigated how it can be used in different ways in order to finalize or minimize the impacts / evasions generated by Cortaderia selloana in Urdaibai. It was also further investigated how it could be included in the circular economy and aligned with the objectives of the European Commission’s 2020 strategy to achieve smart, sustainable and integrated growth. This will improve and sustain efficiency in the use of resources by providing significant benefits.

Main Outcomes: 1) Sustainable circular business model for smart rural specialization 2) Solution for invasive plant eradication 3) Improvement and sustainable use of resources

This gap emerges as an opportunity for Guadalinfo Living Lab network, and for living labs in general, because of their capillarity and the ability to influence regional policy makers.

Guadalinfo is the perfect instrument to fill the gap by linking high-tech Smart cities productions to rural and citizen needs. Currently, the Guadalinfo Living Lab network is composed of more than 800 centres throughout Andalusia located in all municipalities under 20.000 inhabitants. All the centres have workstations, broadband access to the Internet and, most importantly, a Local Innovation Agent that manages the centre and stimulates people.

The following steps of actions and iterations have been designed to overcome the new digital gap: Detecting the gap, Definition & awareness, Strategic definition, Living Labs as Smart Agents, Activities design – Stakeholder engagement. Based on the definition, the proposed scalability, the fluent bottom-up-bottom iterative model, and quadruple helix concept, the resulting inclusive meta-laboratory spins around openness: Open Science, Open innovation and Open to the world.

Main Outcomes: 1) Forming and training in Smart Cities.

2) Empowering citizens: Encourage citizen cooperation, collaboration and participation to stimulate ideation process and boosting Smart Cities projects and initiatives 3) Lab: Experimentation by citizens and local administration of the Smart Cities proposals, technologies and projects for a later implementation.

UnCrowdTPG

Living Lab: Mobile Communications and Computing for Quality of Life (MQoL) Country: Switzerland Project Description: Cities like Geneva, with many businesses and institutions, need to provide appropriate public transportation services to its population. In Geneva, the commute can be done using TPG services with its network of trams, buses, and trolley buses, or by car, motorbike, bicycle, or on foot. Commuters choose between these options according to not only their function, but also to the potential experience and comfort. A significant portion of Geneva’s commuters uses the TPG services which often are faster compared to driving a car. However, during the rush hours in the morning and the afternoon, commuters can be greatly discouraged from using the TPG services due to overcrowded vehicles. MQoL Living Lab designed and prototyped a mobile application, UnCrowdTPG, to help commuters plan a more comfortable trip by informing them about the crowd in the vehicles and at TPG stops. By having this information, commuters can better prepare for what to expect and can choose to wait for the next bus or take a different line if it will be more comfortable. They may naturally spread and distribute over several services and automatically increase their own comfort of commuting, as well those of others. Additionally, UnCrowdTPG enables the commuters to provide their own crowd assessments and form a community to help each other with the common goal to have a pleasant ride to their destination. People with disabilities and those with child strollers will also benefit since they have a greater need for understanding space available for them aboard of the vehicles. Such a service can help un crowd the TPG. Main Outcomes: 1) Computational model of travellers’ journey in public transportation of Geneva (i.e., TPG) 2) Computational model of occupancy of all the TPGs vehicles along different days of the week/hours 3) Mobile service being provided to citizens living in Geneva, with a support from the TPG itself and being now embraced by newly setup start-up MobileThinking SARL.

Toward a Network of Smart Cities Living Labs

Living Lab: Sfax Smart City Living Lab Country: Tunisia Project Description: Sfax Smart City Living Lab’s project aims to create a living environment for users and different sectors of society in order to reveal their innovative ideas by collaboration of public and private sectors. In this context, the project aims to represent an open platform for public/ private sector and users with mutually accepted goal to increase life standards of society by taking into account the needs of users and research and technological development sectors in Sfax city. The solutions produced in the living lab can be a model for other cities.

The method of revealing innovative ideas is based on co-creation by multiple actors such as universities, citizens, companies, research institutions, SME’s, NGOs, Media, experts, public institutions, etc.

The main objectives of the project are: -Transforming public services by empowering “smart citizens” who are able to use and coproduce innovative Internet-enabled services within emerging “smart cities” -Demonstrating positive impacts of an open living lab in cities and regions, with real-life Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures -Making City’s transport sector more productive, efficient, greener and safer by developing a user-centric research methodology for sensing, prototyping, validating and refining services provided in Transport Sector.t Main Outcomes: 1) Smart Bus Project 2) Co-Organization of the Second Edition of “Pitch yourself for a Career” 3) Innovative Projects for Citizens

TOURISM

LLiving Lab for Co-Creation in Tourism

Living Lab: Living Lab en Innovation Ouverte Country: Canada Project Description: The fragmented nature of the tourism industry limits destinations’ capacities and motivations to innovate. To counter this fragmentation, destinations rely on destination management organisations (DMOs). However, DMOs have had very little or no success in stimulating innovation, hence the importance of exploring other models, such as living labs (LLs), to boost the innovation capability of tourism stakeholders. Action research in a living lab context of Living Lab en Innovation Ouverte involves three stakeholder groups: the local higher education institution, the DMO, and a local web developer.

This project included two groups of users in the co-creation workshops: tourism providers and tourists.

Main Outcomes: 1) Creation of a research and development unit, as part of the web developer training program, that works on developing a bank of techno-concepts (AR, VR, Connected objects, geolocalisation, etc.) that can be use in tourism contexts.

2) Launch of two technology-enhanced experiences in a museum : Free Alice! and The haunted room of Alice. Next to that, joint geocaching/treasure hunting project was launched by the town and county departments of cultural development 3) New action research project aimed at turning an island in the St. Lawrence into a tourist destination using living lab inspired collective intelligence processes
