Living Labs In Clinical Research: current status, challenges & future perspectives

A lot of Health and Wellbeing LLs are operating in various settings and infrastructures such as clinical setting, lab environments, distributed setting (e.g. homes, care centers) and also engaging various stakeholders from the quadruple helix in all processes. LLs also include innovative methodologies and an agile, user-centric view on designing and validating interventions.

Clinical trials are designed to answer specific questions about biomedical or behavioral interventions, including new treatments and should have clear and well-structured outcomes about efficacy, safety, efficiency, effectiveness and more and follow specific regulations. Depending on product type and development stage, investigators initially enroll volunteers or patients into small pilot studies, and subsequently conduct progressively larger scale comparative studies. These are some of the questions that will be addressed during this panel.
