3We are pleased to present this Book of Proceedings following the international conference “Innovating Health & Daily Life through Living Labs”, co-organised by the Dutch Empathic Environment Living Labs (DEEL Academy) and the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). The two-day event took place in May 2025 in Başakşehir, Istanbul, and brought together over 100 participants from 14 countries, including researchers, designers, policy makers, healthcare professionals, and Living Lab practitioners. The conference explored how health and wellbeing can be reimagined through spatial, technological, and social innovation, grounded in inclusive and participatory practices. This volume features 41 scholarly contributions—27 peer-reviewed full papers and 14 extended abstracts—from authors representing 17 countries. Topics range from co-creation and care ethics to AI in healthcare, empathic technologies, and healthy living environments. Three key themes emerged throughout the conference: Health as a systemic phenomenon: Health was positioned not only as a biomedical issue, but as deeply embedded in our physical, social, and digital environments. Co-creation as a foundational principle: Participation was treated not as an add-on, but as a structural and ethical basis for innovation, with emphasis on inclusion, trust, and shared authorship. Empathic technologies: Smart systems were valued not for their novelty, but for their ability to quietly support autonomy, dignity, and care. Hosted by the Başakşehir Living Lab and supported by local government and partners, the conference highlighted Living Labs as essential infrastructures for systemic change. The contributions in this book reflect a shared commitment to real-world complexity, showing that innovation is not only technical, but also cultural, emotional, and ethical. We thank all authors, reviewers, speakers, organisers, and partners for making this event possible. We hope this book will serve both as a record of what was shared and as a catalyst for what’s to come.

In het oosten van Indonesië, op het eiland West-Timor, ontstaat iets bijzonders. In de stad Kupang is met een innovatief Living Lab voor klimaatadaptatie en voedselsystemen gestart. Wat begon als een samenwerking tussen de Indonesische onderwijsinstelling State Agricultural Polytechnic Kupang (Politani Kupang) (HBO) en Hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein (VHL), is aan het uitgroeien tot een levendige Living Lab waar maatschappelijke innovatie gepaard gaat met vernieuwend onderwijs en praktijkgericht onderzoek. Dit artikel geeft inzicht in de tot standkoming en de werking van het Living Lab in Kupang als voorbeeld en inspiratie voor docenten in het hoger en middelbaar beroepsonderwijs.

This entry begins by reviewing the definitions of “human”, “environment” and “dichotomy”, consequently turning to the debates concerning the human–environment relationship. Synthesizing various studies, the capability of advanced tool use; language, hyper-sociality, advanced cognition, morality, civilization, technology, and free will are supposed to be distinctly human. However, other studies describe how nonhuman organisms share these same abilities. The biophysical or natural environment is often associated with all living and non-living things that occur naturally. The environment also refers to ecosystems or habitats, including all living organisms or species. The concepts of the biophysical or natural environment are often opposed to the concepts of built or modified environment, which is artificial - constructed or influenced by humans. The built or modified environment typically refers to structures or spaces from gardens to car parks. Today, one of the central questions in regard to human-environment dichotomies centres around the concept of sustainability. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781118924396 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/

Ageing brings about physiological changes that affect people’s thermal sensitivity and thermoregulation. The majority of older Australians prefer to age in place and modifications to the home environment are often required to accommodate the occupants as they age and possibly become frail. However, modifications to aid thermal comfort are not always considered. Using a qualitative approach this study aims to understand the thermal qualities of the existing living environment of older South Australians, their strategies for keeping cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather and to identify existing problems related to planning and house design, and the use of heating and cooling. Data were gathered via seven focus group sessions with 49 older people living in three climate zones in South Australia. The sessions yielded four main themes, namely ‘personal factors’, ‘feeling’, ‘knowing’ and ‘doing’. These themes can be used as a basis to develop information and guidelines for older people in dealing with hot and cold weather.

AI ethics research has mainly focused on high-level principles and guidelines, and technical issues. This position paper argues that more attention should go to the practical and contextual aspects of designing AI applications and explores how living labs can contribute to the ethical design, development and deployment of AI. Literature on AI ethics is discussed, and the term ‘Responsible Applied AI’ (RAAI) is introduced to refer to the ethical application of AI. Five requirements for the development of RAAI in a living lab are distinguished. Subsequently, the paper brings together literature from Open Innovation and Human Computer Interaction to examine the suitability of different types of living labs for developing RAAI. It concludes that Innovation Spaces (online and physical) combined with temporary and ethically governed Instrumented Places and People could be a fruitful environment for a living lab for RAAI. Implications and challenges for further research and practice are discussed.

The Northern region of the Netherlands has beautiful landscapes, a nice diversity of green and blue areas, and dispersed settlements. However, some recent population changes can become threats to health and wellbeing in these areas.
The rural areas in the three northern provinces - Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe, see youngsters leave the region for which reason they are aging faster than other regions in the Netherlands. As a result, some villages have faced major population decline that is leading to lose of facilities/amenities and decrease in accessibility and social cohesion. Those who still live in these villages; are relatively old, low educated and have low-income. To develop a deeper understanding of the health status of the people living in these areas, and help them to improve their living environment, the GO!-Method is being applied in this study. This method has been developed by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) of the Netherlands and is inspired by the broad definition of health by Machteld Huber: the ability to adapt and direct control, in terms of the physical, emotional and social challenges of life, while paying extra attention to vulnerable groups. A healthy living environment is defined as an environment that residents find it pleasant, and encourages and supports healthy behavior. The GO!-method integrates six domains that constitutes a healthy living environment: Health and lifestyle, facilities and development, Safety and hygiene, Social cohesion and active citizens, Green areas, and Air and noise pollution.
First of all this method will identify opportunities for a healthier living environment using existing information and perceptions of residents and other local stakeholders in order to strengthen social participation and quality of life in these rural areas. Second this approach will connect identified opportunities with available and effective evidence based interventions in order to develop an action plan from the residents and local authorities perspective which will help them to design their municipalities healthier and more resilient. This method is being used for the first time in rural areas to our best knowledge, in close collaboration with the residents and local authorities of the three provinces to create a sustainable process and stimulate social participation.
Our paper will present the outcomes of the first phase of this project in collaboration with the municipality of Westerkwartier, located in the northwest of the province of Groningen. And will describe the current situation, and identify local assets, opportunities, and policies relating to healthier environment; as well as needs and challenges to achieve goals. The preliminary results show that rural demographic changes in the northern Netherlands have negative impacts on service provisions and social cohesion, and there is a need to understand this complicated situation and improve the quality of life in those areas.
