It aims to mitigate the health, psychological and socio-economic effects of these diseases through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and community programs. Some of its initiatives include using mobile technologies to enable home-based care, nutritional education, and skills development for disabled community members. The Living Lab faces challenges such as lack of infrastructure, connectivity and access issues, as well as social challenges like poverty and low literacy levels in the community.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Health-Lab Amsterdam is a living lab platform focused on testing and improving ICT and healthcare solutions together with users. It has three dimensions: 1) a platform where people can meet and discuss new care solutions, 2) living labs where solutions can be tested with users, and 3) new educational programs focused on implementing solutions. The living lab has apartments equipped with sensors to study user needs, concepts, and acceptance of new solutions. Students from various fields participate in minors to learn about digital health and intelligent environments.
The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is a non-profit international association representing over 300 certified Living Labs across Europe. Living Labs are real-life test environments where users and producers co-create innovations. ENoLL was launched in 2006 and supports various EU initiatives related to aging well, smart cities, and future internet technologies by facilitating partnerships between its member Living Labs. ENoLL is committed to the EU Active and Assisted Living Program and plans workshops and projects to promote interoperability and gather evidence on independent living solutions.
This document summarizes the process and outcomes of the 6th Wave of the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). It describes how 72 proposals were submitted and evaluated by 6 teams against 20 criteria on a scale of 0-5. 46 Living Labs were ultimately selected, including 31 from EU countries and 15 non-EU members. The document provides details on the evaluation phases and typical weaknesses seen in applications. It concludes by welcoming the new members and thanking those involved in the evaluation process.

Apollon - 22/5/12 - 16:00 - Smart Open Cities and the Future Internetimec.archive
The document summarizes a presentation on smart cities as innovation ecosystems sustained by the future internet. Some key points:
1) Smart cities are not yet a reality, but rather an urban development strategy and vision focused on empowering citizens and creating an "urban innovation ecology."
2) The FIREBALL project aims to bring together cities, living labs, and future internet stakeholders to explore how open innovation and user participation can support experimentation and adoption of future internet technologies.
3) Case studies of smarter cities show examples of technology districts, living lab initiatives, infrastructure development, and efforts to engage citizens. However, challenges remain around skills gaps, funding, and measuring impact.
