People are interested in using Living Labs to improve research and healthcare services. Living labs help researchers and clients to share knowledge in new and creative ways. The goal of this project is to design a Living Lab at SSCY center. To come up with a Living Lab design, we will work with youth age 5-19 who are being seen by SSCY clinicians, their families, and healthcare providers. This will help us make sure that our Living Lab is engaging and informative for everyone who comes to SSCY.
The project will have three stages. In Stage 1 we will talk to youth who are clients, their siblings, and parents. In this talk, we will ask where they think the Living Labs should be located, what purpose they will serve, and how they should be designed. In Stage 2 we will have youth, siblings, and parents complete a 5-10 minute online survey.
We will use the responses to these surveys to create three examples of a Living Lab. Then we will host a public event where people can see and interact with the Living Lab. The Living Lab will continue to be developed with future funding.
We are currently recruiting participants to take part in the survey. If your family receives services from SSCY clinicians, we would love for you to complete this survey!
