Apollon - Homecare and Well-Being - Cross Border Living Lab Set-up

Apollon – Deliverable 2.3 other countries

that has been used in the experiment

Number of new business proposals

Number of distributed cross-‐border collaboration activities

Number of new customers in other countries Did the cross-‐border collaboration lead to increased turnover Did the cross-‐border collaboration lead to increased customer retention SME engagement activities in detail (e.g. developing technology, user tests, implementation of technology etc) What was the role of the SME in the cross-‐ border collaboration?

Did the cross-‐border collaboration tools you used lead to increased access to relevant information Did the cross-‐border collaboration tools you used lead to increased effectiveness in communication Did the cross-‐border collaboration tools you used lead to increased co-‐creation of innovations among stakeholders Which collaboration tools have been used to support the cross-‐border collaboration in the experiment

One of the important question that needs to be answered within eHealth crossborder pilots is on the “common eco-‐system”, for example too what extent is it a problem if not the same parties are on board, etc… The analysis of the benefits of the cross-‐border network in eHealth Living Labs is going to focus, among others, on the contextual factors; how the pilot specific factors influence the outcomes of the project and how these factors contribute or inhibit the results. Issues such as language, customs and cultural aspects are serious obstacles in cross border experimentation. Eco-‐systems can be used as a metaphor for analysis of the context, both before and during the pilot phase an exercise will show the opportunities and challenges for SMEs in the different environments is Europe. The lessons learned from the pilots will be of help in setting up the support structures that the network of eHealth labs needs to provide to be of relevance to its customers. For the evaluation of the eco-‐system a standardized model demonstrating the main actors in the ecosystem and the functions that these perform in providing the service is used. This model is filled in for the situation before the start of the project and for the situation during the project. With the different eco-‐systems described the changes can be visualized and qualified. Apollon Task 2.4 will address these issues.

Apollon - Homecare and Well-Being - Cross Border Living Lab Set-up

Published on Mar 7, 2013Technology & Computing

European Network of Living Labs

As stated in the Description of Work Document (DoW) and in Deliverable 2.2 of this Work Package (“Common Approach”), Work Package 2 within APOLLON, clusters four Living Labs that focus on Health and well-being related solutions. Two Independent Living Systems (ILS) are to be transferred and piloted a sending living lab to a receiving living lab. Figure 1 illustrates the relationships and flow between the different tasks and deliverables in Work Package 2. Task 2.2 deals with the actual deployment and set-up of the experiments in the receiving living labs (Finland and Spain). Task 2.3 comprises the cross-border piloting dimensions of the experiments, whilst which Task 2.4 will cover the evaluation and recommendation activities. Deliverable 2.2. provided the common approach for the research, data gathering and data analysis activities that takes place during Task 2.3 of Work Package 2.
