ArtPlayer Installed in ILWiA Mobile Living Lab as part of EU project ProVaHealth: PRODUCT VALIDATION IN HEALTH - Evaluating transnational testing in Baltic Sea Region Living Labs
Healthy Ageing with the support of modern technologies is the guiding topic of WITENO’s regional InfoPoint ILWiA. To achieve this goal, WITENO operates a showcase apartment (Living Lab) for the broad public which is equipped with various technical assistance systems supporting self-determined living and housing in old age.
The collaboration
The objective of the collaboration was the evaluation of the ArtPlayer technology for an application scenario. By an integration of the ArtPlayer system into the mobile ILWiA Living Lab, the technology was presented to professional users, representatives from institution (hospital, nursing home, residential property company) and end users (elderly persons). The test phase was planned for 30 days. The cost for the installation, the technical support and the test was covered by the ProVaHealth project. Therefore, the test was free of charge for visitors.
Services provided / work done
The ArtPlayer system was installed in the ILWiA mobile Living Lab which toured to several locations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Denmark to showcase this and other technologies supporting elderly persons living at home. The test started at the inspiration day on 7th of February 2019 (Odense) and was prolonged and performed until September 2019 to give more visitors the chance to evaluate the ArtPlayer system. The majority of visitors were elderly people, but the system was also presented to representatives of housing companies and representatives of care facilities visiting the Living Lab container. The ILWiA team collected the user feedback and delivered it to ArtPlayer to support the adaptation of the ArtPlayer system for the German market. The idea using the TV to influence the wellbeing and the mood attracted a large interest by the professionals.
