HEALTHCARE LIVING LAB CATALONIA
Description
The Healthcare Living Lab Catalonia (HCLLC) is a Living Lab specialized in the health and social fields. Its mission is to bring together healthcare centers, technological centers and Living Labs throughout Catalonia, and connect them to innovation entities and innovative people, facilitating the prototyping, testing and validation of their solutions based on its own methodology and in a fast and efficient way, maximizing the results obtained.
The HCLLC offers its services to advise and methodologically guide start-ups, SMEs and companies that want to prototype, test and/or validate innovative solutions in real-life environments and with end users in the fields of medical devices, in vitro diagnostics, and digital health.
It is an initiative of Leitat that has the mission of turning Catalonia into a Living Lab of reference and, for this reason, it has a vast network of collaborating entities; on the one hand, the main health centers and innovation referents throughout the country and, on the other hand, the main associations of health and social centers in the country.
In addition, the HCLLC has the seal of the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL), is a Reference Site of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Aging (EIP on AHA) and collaborates with the ULabs program of EIT Health and with the Center for the Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technologies (CIMTI).
We participate in international consortiums for the development and validation of innovative solutions in the healthcare sector. We also participate in smaller proposals for national and European calls as a core partner or as Third Party. Additionally, we also provide activities for private offers.
Our methodology is based on the Healthcare Innovation Cycle from CIMIT (Boston, USA). This methodology allows the transfer of knowledge and innovation avoiding preventable mistakes that can delay the development of solutions.
Our activities can be applied at many stages from the Healthcare Innovation Cycle, from early stages such as the Idea Definition, to later stages such as Validation of the Solution.
