Living LAB innovation laboratory is one of the first Living LABs available for medical research. It provides an opportunity to test innovative solutions with the involvement of the solution users in the natural setting. It is intended to serve the university, business and city communities as a supporting structure for health promotion and health prevention.

By engaging interdisciplinary teams, the Living LAB ensures that the created products take into account the volume of prospects and combine business requirements with the user expectations in the best possible way. In Living LABs, the existing products and services are also improved or new knowledge is gained to indicate that the existing product or service should be eliminated and we should strive to offer something completely new to offer much more substantial benefits for the business.
