Alps Bio Cluster Catalyst Event - Brainstorming workshop - LL methodology

What is the Living Lab methodology?

The Living Lab methodology will be your catalyst for your end-user driven innovation.

Within a complex value chain of actors, Living Lab methodology is fully adapted to the specific constraints of medical market which include numerous validation steps: regulatory, socio-economic, clinical, evaluation of the provided service, reimbursement.

Come to discover the Living Lab methodology! All the following aspects will be covered:

Identification of the needs and of the end-users

• Challenge: dealing with the 2 types of end-users: medical professional and patients
• Issues raised: Who are the end-users (medical professional, elderly persons…) of my product/service? Will my product/service have an impact on the medical organization? Do I really know the needs of the end-users?

Economic integration

• Challenge : making a sustainable market
• Issues raised: Does my solution provide a complete offer? What business model for my offer? Do I integrate all actors of the value chain?

Normalization

• Challenge : designing an interoperable solution
• Issues raised: Does my future product/service take into account the standards? Is my technology interoperable?

Experimentation and evaluation

• Challenge: having a large spectrum of use conditions from design platforms (company, laboratory…) and clinical validation (hospital, clinic…) until evaluation in the real life conditions access the different kind of platforms
• Issues raised: Who will experiment my product/service? What condition do I need for the evaluation of my product/service (at home, at the hospital…)? How involve the end-user at the early stage of development?

The Living Lab methodology, as a structuring approach, will give you the principal axes for the successful development and commercialization of your product/service.
