“…People with dementia need to be recognized and acknowledged for their verbal and tacit forms of expression and supported in their sense of belonging and social membership [46]. Technology can include this perspective and reinforce a sense of self [10]. Its use in dementia care can therefore offer a sense of agency and support social connections between residents and their caregivers [30].…”

“…Establishing and maintaining relationships are fundamental to self-identity and essential for recognizing 'selfhood' [27,44]. However, caregivers often lack sufficient resources, time, or tools for providing meaningful activities to facilitate and nurture social relationships due to the heavy workload involved in physical care tasks [10].…”

“…Zimmerman et al [70] emphasize the benefits of a RtD approach by stressing that "in evaluating the performance and effect of the artefact situated in the world, design researchers can both discover unanticipated effects and provide a template for bridging the general aspects of the theory to a specific problem space, context of use, and set of target users' (p. 497)". The RtD approach in a living lab setting enables a more naturalistic and explorative evaluation over an extended period of time, thereby increasing the ecological validity of the study [9].…”

There is increased interest in reducing sedentary behavior of office workers to combat the negative health effects of prolonged sitting. Walking meetings offer a promising solution to this problem as they facilitate a physically active way of working. To inform future development of technologies supporting these type of meetings, in-depth qualitative insights into people's experiences of walking meetings are needed. We conducted semi-structured walking interviews (N=16) to identify key drivers and barriers for walking meetings in a living lab setting by using the 'WorkWalk'. The 'WorkWalk' is a 1.8 km walking route indicated by a dotted blue line with outdoor meeting points, integrated into the room booking system. Our findings provide insights into how walking meetings are experienced and affect the setup and social dynamics of meetings. We offer design recommendations for the development of future technologies and service design elements to support walking meetings and active ways of working.

“…Evidence suggests that participation in co-creation activities, especially in the public domain, strengthens the feeling of ownership and empowerment [46]. In an open innovation context, such as living labs, co-creation is encouraged as it has been shown to foster innovation through, amongst other things, (common) value creation [47,48] and development of solutions which more effectively respond to societal challenges [45,49].…”

Facing Societal Challenges in Living Labs: Towards a Conceptual Framework to Facilitate Transdisciplinary Collaborations

Living labs are an extremely attractive open innovation landscape for collaborative research and development activities targeting the complexity of today’s societal challenges. However, although there is plenty of support for collaboration, we still lack clear guidelines to direct transdisciplinary stakeholder networks of academics and practitioners through collaboration processes in the living lab ecosystem. In other words, we lack answers to the question of “how to collaborate?” In the present paper we propose a conceptual framework defining relevant stages to initiate and facilitate transdisciplinary collaboration processes. We base our framework on collaboration challenges described in the literature, specifically the need for stakeholder alignment, as well as challenges experienced in practice, which we report through exploratory case studies. In the proposed conceptual framework, we advocate the application of co-creation methods, both at the level of the living lab (macro) and in projects (meso) within the living lab, in order to define, with all involved parties and stakeholders, the scope and strategy of the living lab and to facilitate stakeholder alignment. Additionally, we integrate an iterative approach and a feedback loop in order to account for the dynamic nature of the collaboration process and to enable reflection and evaluation.
