This document summarizes research projects and initiatives at the Halmstad Living Lab in Sweden. The Living Lab focuses on developing technologies and services to improve quality of life, especially for elderly populations. Key projects include developing smart locks and silver technologies to support independent living. The Living Lab also studies user involvement in innovation through projects on media and health technologies. The document lists principal investigators and industry partners involved in each initiative.
The document summarizes the RENEWING HEALTH project which aims to test telemedicine services to improve care for patients with diabetes, COPD, or cardiovascular diseases across 9 regions in Europe. The project involves 7,800 patients from 2010-2012 and evaluates telemedicine interventions on patients' quality of life, health outcomes, costs of care, and organizational impacts. Specifically, the project in Norrbotten, Sweden involves a randomized trial providing 200 diabetes patients tablet computers to self-manage their condition and transmit health data to providers to improve HbA1c and quality of life compared to routine care.
Botnia Living Lab offers several services to support human-centric information and communications technology development, including running open, user-driven innovation cases with companies; policymaking activities; knowledge transfer of user involvement methods and tools; and matching different players in product value chains. The lab also recruits and involves end-users in research and development teams and conducts its own research on open, user-driven innovation methods. Its goal is to enrich future internet research and development by involving users to create a more sustainable future.
Workshop energy day living lab for measuring and changing energy usage behavi...Annika Sällström
This document outlines a methodology for measuring and changing energy usage behaviors across multiple Living Labs. Each Living Lab will present a case study on stimulating behavioral changes related to energy consumption. The goals are to identify best practices, share experiences measuring behavioral changes, and develop a harmonized model for studying and influencing energy behaviors. Living Labs will exchange knowledge, discuss methods, and agree to test specific approaches to evaluate in a subsequent workshop.
This document discusses two cases that aimed to save energy consumption by visualizing usage. It provides lessons learned, including that longitudinal studies are important and reminders can stimulate behavioral changes. The Luleå Energy Case will test energy visualization technologies in households and assign tasks monthly related to psychological motivators like power, curiosity and social standing to encourage reduced usage. Key performance indicators will measure changes in consumption, energy-saving activities, and attitudes.
Smarties challenges and ideas for cross-border piloting Asta GudmundsdottirAnnika Sällström

It outlines the planned three cycle approach to design, evaluate, and pilot concepts and prototypes. Challenges discussed include different perspectives between partners, co-partners, and users. Opportunities highlighted are knowledge exchange, further cooperation, and establishing a Nordic Living Lab community. Good planning, communication, and collaboration are emphasized as foundations for a successful cross-border pilot.
User behavioural transformation methodologies - Gregg WoodalAnnika Sällström
The document discusses user behavior transformation methodologies. It notes that people are different and react to problems in different ways based on their personality type. It also states that beliefs and values are not the only drivers of behavior. The document recommends answering questions in the subconscious mind related to issues like whether there is a problem, whether the individual cares about it, whether they know how to address it, and whether solutions will work. It suggests providing information and knowledge to answer cognitive questions, and motivation to answer emotional questions. Finally, it stresses that organizations and individuals have different priorities, and an effective methodology must take these differences into account.
Users as actors in innovation processes 20110316Annika Sällström
The document discusses user involvement in innovation processes. It outlines who can be involved as users, including actual users, potential users, lead users, customers, and voluntary contributors. Users can be involved in various ways depending on the goal. Key motivations for users to participate include learning, entertainment, being the first to test innovations, status, and contributing to society. The document identifies three main motives for involving users: economic benefits like developing the right innovation and increasing willingness to buy; social benefits like strengthening understanding between developers and users; and ethical reasons like giving people influence over their own lives.
This document outlines a proposed Nordic Smart City Living Lab Pilot project. The project aims to 1) increase knowledge of key Living Lab characteristics and indicators, 2) innovate technical energy solutions tested in real-life settings, and 3) create greater visibility and innovation capacity among Nordic Living Lab actors through cross-border collaboration. The expected results include a Nordic citizen innovator user group for Smart Cities, an indicator framework for Living Labs, and a best practice transnational Smart City Living Lab Pilot.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
