Active Health Lab (idrætslab)

Objective: This Living Lab sets out with the dual purpose of promoting research participants’ and stakeholders’ active involvement, as well as integrating more physical activity into health research. Thus, the lab equipment can be used to facilitate involvement of health-challenged groups and relevant stakeholders (such as family members, health professionals and volunteers) in health promotion research, as well as to develop and record physical activity and movement in community settings.

Methods: Participatory methods such as action research, citizen and stakeholder involvement, co-creation and co-production, community-based interventions, design-based innovation etc.

Equipment details:
• Facilities to accommodate physical and online participation in co-production workshops (8-10 persons) along with video and audio recording of innovation and research activities.
• Mobile AV-equipment for collecting research material in outdoor environments and during movement
• Equipment for measuring physical activity and facilitating exercise (accelerometer, VR-sets and go-pro)
• Material to foster participant and stakeholder involvement and facilitate social change (Play kits etc.)
