Living labs in the health and well-being domain have become increasingly common over the past decade but vary in available infrastructure, implemented study designs, and outcome measures. The Horizon 2020 Project Virtual Health and Wellbeing Living Lab Infrastructure aims to harmonize living lab procedures and open living lab infrastructures to facilitate and promote research activities in the health and well-being domain in Europe and beyond. This protocol will describe the design of a joint research activity, focusing on the use of innovative technology for both rehabilitation interventions and data collection in a rehabilitation context.
With this joint research activity, this study primarily aims to gain insight into each living lab's infrastructure and procedures to harmonize health and well-being living lab procedures and infrastructures in Europe and beyond, particularly in the context of rehabilitation. Secondarily, this study aims to investigate the potential of innovative technologies for rehabilitation through living lab methodologies.
This study has a mixed methods design comprising multiple phases. There are two main phases of data collection: cocreation (phase 1) and small-scale pilot studies (phase 2), which are preceded by a preliminary harmonization of procedures among the different international living labs. An intermediate phase further allows the implementation of minor adjustments to the intervention or protocol depending on the input that was obtained in the cocreation phase. A total of 6 small-scale pilot studies using innovative technologies for intervention or data collection will be performed across 4 countries. The target study sample comprises patients with stroke and older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The third and final phases involve Delphi procedures to reach a consensus on harmonized procedures and protocols.
Phase 1 data collection will begin in March 2022, and phase 2 data collection will begin in June 2022. Results will include the output of the cocreation sessions, small-scale pilot studies, and advice on harmonizing procedures and protocols for health and well-being living labs focusing on rehabilitation.
The knowledge gained by the execution of this research will lead to harmonized procedures and protocols in a rehabilitation context for health and well-being living labs in Europe and beyond. In addition to the harmonized procedures and protocols in rehabilitation, we will also be able to provide new insights for improving the implementation of innovative technologies in rehabilitation.

在过去十年中，健康与福祉领域的生活实验室越来越普遍，但在可用基础设施、实施的研究设计和结果测量方面存在差异。“地平线2020”项目“虚拟健康与福祉生活实验室基础设施”旨在协调生活实验室程序并开放生活实验室基础设施，以促进欧洲及其他地区健康与福祉领域的研究活动。本方案将描述一项联合研究活动的设计，重点关注在康复背景下将创新技术用于康复干预和数据收集。
通过这项联合研究活动，本研究主要旨在深入了解每个生活实验室的基础设施和程序，以协调欧洲及其他地区健康与福祉生活实验室的程序和基础设施，特别是在康复背景下。其次，本研究旨在通过生活实验室方法调查创新技术在康复中的潜力。
本研究采用混合方法设计，包括多个阶段。有两个主要的数据收集阶段：共同创造（第1阶段）和小规模试点研究（第2阶段），在不同国际生活实验室之间进行程序的初步协调之前。一个中间阶段进一步允许根据在共同创造阶段获得的意见对干预措施或方案进行微调。将在4个国家进行总共6项使用创新技术进行干预或数据收集的小规模试点研究。目标研究样本包括中风患者和轻度认知障碍的老年人。第三阶段也是最后阶段涉及德尔菲程序，以就协调的程序和方案达成共识。
第1阶段的数据收集将于2022年3月开始，第2阶段的数据收集将于2022年6月开始。结果将包括共同创造会议的产出、小规模试点研究，以及关于协调以康复为重点的健康与福祉生活实验室程序和方案的建议。
通过开展这项研究获得的知识将导致欧洲及其他地区以康复为背景的健康与福祉生活实验室的程序和方案得到协调。除了康复方面的协调程序和方案外，我们还将能够为改善创新技术在康复中的应用提供新的见解。
