2. By 2060 a Structural Paradigm Change
• the population of young people throughout
the EU-28 to decrease by 9 %
• the working-age population (15-64) by 15 %,
while
• the number of elderly people is expected to
increase by a huge 79 %.

3. CoR Guidelines about Active Healthy Ageing
1. Healthy ageing requires a structural paradigm change, as older people
must desire and maintain the ability to play an active role in society,
while society must in turn encourage and accommodate this.
2. Healthy ageing is about enabling older people to enjoy a good quality
of life. Healthy ageing strategies should then create the conditions and
opportunities for older people to have regular physical activity, healthy
diets, social relations, participation in meaningful activities and financial
security deriving from a flexible pension system and related retirement
policies.
3. Healthy ageing can therefore not be achieved through a single initiative,
but requires a range of actions and approaches at individual and
societal level that work together to achieve this outcome.
4. The CoR aims at concretely involving political decision makers in the EU
debate on these issues, which we consider crucial to increase a
sustainable social, economic and also territorial cohesion;
4. Painting the Big Frame
CoR has defined the following guidelines:
1. Europe needs pioneering regions to be forerunners in implementing the
Europe 2020 & Smart Specialisation and through that to invent the
desired future.
2. Lifelong learning and the full use of ICT are cornerstones for this change
of mindset towards entrepreneurship and innovation.
3. We need the dynamic understanding of regional innovation ecosystems
where public, private and third sector learn to operate together.
Modernize Triple Helix.
4. We need methodologies to mobilize public private partnerships and
encourage especially people participations: user-driven open innovation
& living labs.
5. We need to speed up the change by scalability & implementation.
European partnerships with universities at the core need to be used as
the drivers.

The frame for the “big picture” integrated to real life practices
Objectives from the perspective of City management:
To develop a research and technology based,
participative welfare service concept, which
supports the care of elderly people, and improves
their quality of life
To develop a virtual, centralized welfare service
concept in order to find a solution for regionally
specific challenges together with higher education,
public-, private– and third sector organizations

10. LaureaHealthHub
An innovation and pilot platform for eHealth solutions
and related services:
• the virtual and physical spaces /environments enable user centric way to find out
solutions (e.g. for elderly people´s health and wellbeing)
• On-going joint process for defining and co-creating joint action themes and vision
• Physical space of real hectic action for research with experiments, demos and prototypes
• Demo days & social media, other forms of effective communication, virtual reality
• Passionate key persons, networking, processes, platforms, focus on boundary objects

11. Different actors with different roles, needs
and responsibilities
• Elderly persons are customers of organizations which
provide home care or care home services.
• Providers´ nurses access the data collected by the
devices used by the elderlies
• Use of the data can make care services more intelligent
• Devices send data to their vendors´servers
• Vendors servers provide a user interface to access data.
Users are nurses, elderlies or their family members
• Access rights are governed by device vendors´ or care
service providers system administrators

12. We Need Systems Thinking
& Integration & Different Devices
Integration is needed:
• Holistic view of the customer
• Combine data from different
sources to make more
intelligent analysis and
decisions
• Alarm handling in a coherent
way
• Integration at home level to
save costs and to control
equipment
• Rules management based
on multiple sources of data
• Coordinated device
management
Different devices for different purposes:
• Collect data about customer
• Activity & Walking on floor
• Location & Sleep
• Medication take
• Different triggers to alarm
• Press button
• Outside virtual fence
• Detect condition
• Fall down

Summary: Based on the Laurea Living Lab
Experiences
1. Facilitates R&D projects based on co-operation with
companies, third sector, public sector & HEIs
hereby working together with end-users and
students
2. End-users and customers are drivers and developers
from the early beginning & during the whole R&D
process
3. Students are developers & creators of new
professional knowledge together with other actors
4. To facilitate professional knowledge creation and
rich interaction Laurea has several development
environments, labs and test beds
CoR points out that the traditional product chain concept with its fixed phases
and production factors is becoming blurred, because the reality is based on
complex interactions in globally networked ecosystems. Technologies play a key
role as enablers for new, sustainable approaches. We need innovative and high-
quality pioneering activities and replication of results across Europe. The regions
are ready to start experimenting and rapid prototyping, which is a key for success.
Notes de l'éditeur
by 2060 we can expect the population of young people throughout the EU-28 to decrease by 9 % and the working-age population (15-64) by 15 %, while the number of elderly people is expected to increase by a huge 79 %. The increasing share of older people and decreasing share of working-age people in the overall population have social, economic and budgetary repercussions. Public authorities, including local and regional authorities, are urged to deliver more and higher quality services to their ageing population and finance health care and pensions for a growing number of people, while at the same time facing a decrease in labour supply and employment and suffering drastic budgetary restrictions due to the current economic crisis.
