Since last April, Adebag is the animator of the e-Care Lab in Rhône-Alpes which is part of the European Network of Living Lab (ENOLL). e-Care Lab promotes the Living Lab approach in the healthcare sector through an operational co-creation platform at the interface between care organizations ("patient follow-up") and medico-social technical procedure ("related medical device"). The overall aim is to:

• Make the user actor of his/her own health and his/her quality of life
• Link in a comprehensive and iterative way users (citizens or patients) and medical practitioners.
• Place at the core of the e-Care Lab the pair user/healthcare professional

e-Care Lab offers a large spectrum of platforms for testing and user involvement which enables a graduated validation from the pilot experiment through clinical validation and socio-economic conditions to the experiment of real life. The Living Lab methodology is a user-driven innovative process. It will help to adapt services' Prémalliance to users.
