The document discusses several projects focused on innovation for urban quality of life in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park living lab. The research themes include the billion device challenge, citizen engagement, and creating sustainable ecosystems. Current projects relate to energy neutral sensing, environment sensing, citizen sentiment analysis, and making sense of data with citizens. One project involves deploying bat monitoring devices to better understand biodiversity in the park. Overall, the living lab aims to use innovative technology and citizen input to improve quality of life issues around health, sustainability, and engagement with urban green spaces.

9. An Olympic Legacy
“The most enduring legacy of the
Olympics will be the regeneration of an
entire community for the direct benefit
of everyone who lives there”

10. How do the park
currently talk about
health?
The overwhelming message was about
physical health and exercise

11. What is health?
Health is a broad and diverse topic –
how can urban spaces help encourage
people to act in healthier ways to
boost not only physical but mental and
social health

12. Types of
research:
Diary study
Diary Study
Local residents report their healthy
behaviour in the area over 10
consecutive days in an online diary

13. Header
Vox Pop Interviews
Patients, staff and local residents from
the Bromley By Bow Centre to reach
more diverse participants

14. 1. Accessing and getting around the QEOP can be
confusing and difficult
Participant
Observation
Observing how people currently use
the park and testing user journeys
ourselves

15. Park People
Identifying Challenges
How can we help solve these
challenges to encourage healthy
behaviour in the park?

16. A tailored digital social
feed for local residents
over the age of 50 who
may be suffering from
social isolation.
Motivating residents to be more
active by rewarding healthy
activity with points that gain you
vouchers for high street brands
or charitable donations.
A digital platform that provides
users with the ability to find and
book sporting activities combined
with a social feed that enables
people to interact with each other
and find new partners to play with.
A real time digital map that
provides a platform to create user-
friendly maps that will help
improve mapping and data
visualisation across the park.
Open Call &
Implementation
Engaging SMEs to solve these
challenges

17. Learnings
Health means different things to different people
Finding the right people to talk to in diverse
communities isn’t easy
Doing research online can be a barrier for some
people

18. “and now for something completely different…”

20. A network of 15 bat devices will be deployed in the Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park by summer 2017
150 roosting boxes
exist in the QEOP,
typically under the
many park bridges
Wetlands habitats,
cluttered and
uncluttered
environments
