Delivery and deployment of Innovative solutions for Home Care by strengthening quadruple helix cooperation and applying principles of co-creation in territorial innovation ecosystems

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Central Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-11-15

Description

Description (EN):

Based on EC sources, there will be one in three Europeans over 65 by 2060, which makes the “Silver Economy” one of the quickest growing economic domains. Regions in CE reflect this trend in their RIS3 strategies. Huge portion of Silver Economy is represented by Home care solutions. They are mostly ICT based, so the acceptance by elderly care recipients is challenging. Therefore their involvement in the design process is crucial for the success. One of the best methods is CO-CREATION, which is a specific sample of QUADRUPLE-HELIX (QH) approach inside of OPEN INNOVATION 2.0 (OI2.0) model. Unfortunately, the level of implementation of QH approach is rather low across the CE territories and the linkages are weak or not existing. This is the key challenge for HoCare 2.0 project. It is addressed by the main objective, which is to foster the delivery and deployment of highly innovative solutions for social and health home care thanks to co-creation approaches. The aim is to deliver SYSTEMATIC CHANGE in the territorial innovation ecosystems and shift them towards Open Innovation 2.0. To achieve it, the LINKAGES in territorial ecosystems, especially with Society helix, needs to be strengthened. HoCare 2.0 CO-CREATION LABS, their transregional network, common Strategy and Action plan, drawing the roadmap for further shift towards OI 2.0, will contribute to this. Sustainable change will happen if SMEs delivering Home care solutions and Public providers of health and social services will adapt co-creation approach. However, to adapt it, they need to understand the positive impact of it. Therefore the project provides 2 Tools (SME and Policy Tool) and conducts Pilots as Good practices, involving 12 SMEs and 6 Public providers of public services, using co-creation. 11 partners from 6 countries (including 5 Public partners) joined forces to be the catalyst of change towards Open Innovation 2.0 ecosystems and to boost implementation of RIS3 in their territories.

Achievements (EN):

For more than 3 years 11 partners from 6 European countries have tried to boost knowledge and interest in the co-creation method in the area of homecare. Now the HoCare2.0 project has approached its end and it is time to wrap up and reflect. Having in mind the ever increasing importance of the Silver economy and the lack of acceptable technology-based innovative solutions for homecare, partners in Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Germany, Czech republic and Italy engaged in a mutual co-operation to present the co-creation method as suitable and beneficial to tackle issues arising from the fact that the European population is aging and number of carers is insufficient. What is actually co-creation? In simple words, it is a way to develop products and services with involvement of all relevant stakeholders, above all end-users from early-on. The SME or Service provider thus learns about the users´needs and their feedback on the developed solution throughout the whole development process. The project aimed to share knowledge and expertise about the method and also to create networks including representatives of the Quadruple-helix, meaning SMEs, Public service providers, Academia and research and end-users. Thus the Co-creation Labs were established in each participating territory to increase knowledge and interest in co-creation and participate in the project activities. As co-creation is a rather complex process, the project aimed to provide SMEs and Public service providers with methodological support on how to apply the method in the development process of their solutions. Eventually, two Tools have been released - the SME tool and the Policy Tool. More than 600 representatives from SMEs and Public service providers have been trained during the project on how to use the Tools and implement co-creation. To test the co-creation method as outlined in the Tools, 13 SMEs and 7 Public service providers participated in Pilots where they developed homecare products and services with engagement of the end-users. Many learnings have been drawn from these Pilots which are summarized in two Pilot studies - the SME Pilot study and the Public services Pilots study. These include an overall description of the Pilot process, as well as information about each Pilot and also key learnings in general. Information about the Pilots in a briefer way can be seen in the eFactsheets, and also the Pilot Infographics.

Expected Results (EN): R 1.1 Status of linkages among actors of the innovation systems achieved through transnational cooperation in central European regions.

Expected Outputs (EN):

As result, the project will deliver systematic change in the territorial innovation ecosystems (specifically in the area of health and social home care) and will shift them towards Open Innovation 2.0 ecosystems. In such ecosystems, the delivery of highly innovative solutions (by SMEs) and also their deployment (by public providers) ensures that the needs of the target group are understood and targeted. It is ultimately contributing to a better bottom-up implementation of regional smart specialization strategies. In such ecosystems, linkages among traditional triple-helix actors are strengthened and additionally new linkages are created with societal helix representatives (Target group for health & social services – elderly care recipients and their family members). The project aims to ensure sustainability of developed linkages by series of outputs (Sustainable Network of territorial Co-Creation Labs, Advancement of Institutional Knowledge of key actors, developed Smart Tools) and act as a catalyst for further development of Open Innovation 2.0 ecosystems. Strengthened and sustainable linkages among territorial ecosystems, notably of Quadruple-helix actors, in industry prioritized by RIS3 in all participating territories, directly contributes to the result the Interreg Central Europe program seeks to achieve, specifically among the 3rd call projects.
