Living labs are structured networks that develop products/services through co-creation with users in real-world environments. While living labs can engage in various fields, this thesis examines living labs for sustainability as a potential platform to drive urban sustainability transformations. However, assessing living labs' impacts is needed to understand best practices.
The triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit frames the research design and analysis. It asks how living labs engage with sustainability; how the current funding regime supports living labs; and the extent of social equity issues in living lab implementation. The thesis employs literature analysis, surveys of 13 living labs, 5 stakeholder interviews, and
The document discusses Plymouth University's launch of a Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence campaign. It aims to raise £1 million per year to fund research into low-grade brain tumours at the university's medical school. The campaign is the university's first major fundraising project and will help address the critical lack of research into brain tumours. It hopes to engage alumni and other stakeholders to support projects that can make a real difference in health.
Technological advancements are impacting various areas like health, education, and the environment on a global scale.

ILC-UK, New Dynamics of Ageing and the Actuarial Profession debate: Improving...ILC- UK
Telecare and telemedicine can improve health outcomes and save money, argued the Prime Minister late last year. The Whole System Demonstrator (WSD) programme was set up by the Department of Health to attempt to, amongst other things, explore the evidence base as to the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these technologies.
The findings were striking. “If delivered properly, telehealth can substantially reduce mortality, reduce the need for admissions to hospital, lower the number of bed days spent in hospital and reduce the time spent in A&E” argued the DH.
The randomised control trial of over 6,000 patients found that if delivered properly, telehealth can deliver:
45% reduction in mortality rates
20% reduction in emergency admissions
15% reduction in A&E visits
14% reduction in elective admissions
14% reduction in bed days
8% reduction in tariff costs
Yet whilst claims about the potential of technology have been made for many years, embedding such technologies into people’s homes and lives has proved difficult.
The usability and accessibility of new technologies, the digital divide, a lack of funding for prevention, and a lack of trust and knowledge among healthcare professionals are among the many reasons why new technologies have sometimes failed to meet their potential.
At this event, Leela Damodaran, discussed how research into new technologies can help us age well and provide an overview of NDA research findings. She also highlight how we can most effectively deliver new technology.
Speakers presented the current evidence base in relation to the cost effectiveness of healthcare technologies.
ILC-UK presented findings of new work, supported by Nominet Trust, which will explore whether we can nudge people online.
As well as the debate, there were a number of Technology Showcases: Mappmal: hospitalfoodie; SomnIA; Design for Ageing Well; TACT3; Envision to envisage; Making the Kitchen Easier; NANA; Keeping Older People Connected; Safety on Stairs
