The Living Lab for Health’s mission is to facilitate multistakeholder innovation
networks to solve complex and persistent health challenges for increasing collective
impact with system innovation.
The Lab focuses on challenges that require mutual learning and knowledge integration
to design and implement integral and
high leverage interventions taking into account
key leverage factors in different areas of the system where change is needed
(social, technological, research and innovation, environmental, economic,
political and institutional).
We facilitate innovation
networks to
collectively design and implement the integral interventions with more mutually reinforcing,
decentralized and collaborative approaches. We follow methodological
frameworks aimed at increasing the impact of
research and innovation and we conduct research to innovate in our approaches and to
disseminate our work.
We address two
different categories of complex health challenges:
- Category 1: health protection and promotion challenges, such as promotion of healthy and sustainable diets, affective sexual health and mental health, or prevention of Covid-19.
- Category 2: prevention, diagnostic & therapeutic challenges, that comorbid with a variety of other conditions and/or need to consider a wide diversity of factors, such as Long Covid.
We act as a think
tank –a space for strategic reflection, learning, exploration
and co-creation of transdisciplinary knowledge and interventions, with the
participation of a wide
range of actors.
Among our projects, we are co-coordinators, together with the Barcelona
Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), of the Barcelona CaixaResearch Living Lab initiative, launched by
Barcelona City Council and "la Caixa" Foundation, to which our
contribution is the promotion of systemic innovation in health in the city of
Barcelona, IrsiCaixa and the Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol.
Who do we target?
The
diversity of stakeholders varies with the health challenge we address and
whether it is a scientific-technical or
a socio-technical challenge. We work with stakeholders from different
disciplines in academia and from non-academic environments, including: universities, healthcare services, social
services, cultural centres, education community, private sector, third sector,
administration, and also citizens and patients, among others.
