Partners

The main partners of the Lemanic Living Lab (or L3) are on the one hand the Swiss company Inspiring Futures (or IF), which developed and monitors the L3 programme, and on the other hand its first historical partner for the testing of wellness systems, Physioclergere, a physical therapy practice in Pully. Five other partners have been present since the birth of the programme in 2020, namely the Geneva-based health consulting firm Alinoa, the Franche-Comté-based and Bern-based consulting firms DLSIX-Consulting and ThinkNeo, the cooperative Entrée de Jeux in La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the canton of Neuchatel, and the Danish start-up Sensae. In Autumn 2020, the Lemanic Living Lab is in talks with a dozen other partners to complete the pool of skills it needs for its deployment and the services it wants to offer in 2021.

Inspiring Futures

Inspiringfutures.ch

Inspiring Futures or IF! is a Swiss start-up founded in 2015 by Pierre Rossel, then a researcher and teacher at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). IF! is a consulting company offering services of advice (evaluations, trend studies and anticipations), setting up and monitoring of innovative projects, with a perspective that can be according to the needs: economic, technological, but also cultural, social and environmental.

Inspiring Futures is based in the Lausanne region, fully aligned with the Swiss tradition of technological innovation, reaffirming some key capabilities previously developed at EPFL, namely 1) studies on the future and methods of anticipation, including the analysis of weak signals (early detection of change) and trends, 2) creative methods and interest in "creative techs", to which was added the concrete exploration of augmented reality solutions and augmented ecosystems. All this is documented at www.inspiringfutures.ch.

Pierre Rossel, its founder and president, is a PhD in anthropology and has developed research skills in technology assessment (1990) and technology foresight (since the 2000s) at EPFL, also carrying out teaching duties at all academic levels. Together with Olivier Glassey from the University of Lausanne, he created Coherent Streams in 2010 and more recently (2015), from now on as a substitute dedication, he founded Inspiring Futures to better leverage the assets developed at EPFL as well as more recent projects and references, notably in the different forms of technology and extended reality applications.

Inspiring Futures brings together and is currently retrieving various past and ongoing assets, including the evaluation of disruptive technologies in the field of wellness, in a programme called Lemanic Living Lab or L3. L3 is a network of organisations and experts dedicated to exploring, experimenting, evaluating and co-designing digital solutions in the sector of "upstream health" (or Global Health), i.e., the art of maintaining one’s health, as well as a positive relationship with the environment and more generally with all living organisms (One Health).

Cabinet Physioclergère

physioclergere.com

Physioclergere is a physiotherapy practice established in Pully, in the Eastern suburbs of Lausanne, since 1989, and with a reinforced team first in 1997 and then in 2018, with a globalist physiotherapeutic care approach, anxious to remain in harmony with each patient, as well as with all other medical staff involved. Physioclergere has a cumulated clinical experience of more than 5000 patients and is also periodically open to the experimentation of new therapeutic methods or even new technologies in the field of care in the broadest sense. It is in this context of openness that the links with the founder of Inspiring Futures have taken all their meaning, particularly in view with the fact that 1/3 of the patients are elderly people, making Physioclergere a legitimate partner for projects of support and stimulation that can be provided to these people. In a more general way, after stress management, and the encouragement of exercise through augmented reality, new projects deal now with ergonomic adaptation advice to both outdoor and indoor physical activities, as well as for the "physical" parts of cognitive stimulation, an important concern amplified by the COVID-19 epidemic.

Sensae

sensae.co

Sensae is a start-up based in Denmark which, at the crossroads of several cutting-edge fields of knowledge, is currently developing Motus, a biofeedback ecosystem for the active management of stress and anxiety. Based on the science of affective haptic stimuli to manage stress and anxiety, the technology is a portable device with advanced physiological sensors and AI-supported biometric signal analysis. The device monitors key constructive factors for an individual's mental well-being and can deliver relevant tactile affective stimuli such as vibrations, impulses, etc., producing personalized haptic effects and predictive algorithms to influence physiological parameters that may calm the individual. The AI capability allows Motus to learn quickly and adapt to an individual user in order to optimize both the timing and nature of the stimulation. In addition to the patents pending, the development of haptic affective algorithms and protocols, as well as the placement of the device, are based on a large body of specialized literature dealing with affective tactile perception. In addition, the device is platform-integrated and operates via an application on the user' smartphone, which also facilitates subsequent interaction through haptic and non-haptic exercises, as well as the expertise of Sensae and its community of partners and users. Sensae / Motus is open to interactions and collaborations with other digital well-being solutions to improve the overall mental well-being of the individual.
