Devices and technologies

(% lang="en-US" %)This Part presents a taxonomy for identifying and classifying the data that are collected in Living Lab environments and consequently link the devices that are used for collecting each data category. The aim of the taxonomy is to help finding the appropriate digital data collection tools for living lab research and/or expand understanding about available tools and their possibilities. Furthermore, the taxonomy aims to facilitate data collection by driving a unified representation schema of the collected datasets enabling the (%%)the cross-organizational collaboration and the accessibility of Living Labs to external stakeholders.

|(% rowspan="7" style="vertical-align:middle" %)Categories of devices for data monitoring and collection|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Environmental monitoring|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %) |(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Characterize and monitor the environment, establish environmental parameters and conditions. As environment we refer to the person's surroundings either indoors or outdoors

8

|(% rowspan="6" style="vertical-align:middle" %)Human monitoring|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Biometrics|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Biological measurements — or physical characteristics — that can be used to identify individuals and their unique characteristics such as fingerprint scanning or voice recognition

9

|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Electrical Biosignals and physiological monitoring measures|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Electrical biosignals, or bioelectrical time signals, usually refers to the change in electric current produced by the sum of an electrical potential difference across a specialized tissue, organ or cell system like the nervous system

10

|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)(Primary) Vital signs|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)A group of the six most important medical signs that indicate the status of the body’s vital function according to HL7 standard

11

|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Body size and composition|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Measurement of a person's body, used as qualifying elements for vital signs

12

|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Cognitive ability and mental processes|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Measuring the processes involved in the acquisition of knowledge, reasoning and management of information and the brain-based skills we need to carry out any task

13

|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Activity and behavioral monitoring|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Monitoring the individuals' physical activities and tracking their performance. Monitoring behavior and activities of daily living (ADLs)

14

|(% rowspan="3" style="vertical-align:middle" %)Categories of technologies for interventions|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Assistive Technology|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %) |(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Technologies used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals, the feeling of autonomy, safety and general wellbeing or also supporting participation.

15

|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Extended reality - XR (VR & AR)|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %) |(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Allows for a two-way flow of information through an interface between the user and the technology through a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world

16

|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)Serious Games|(% style="vertical-align:middle" %) |(% style="vertical-align:middle" %)All the digital games that are used as interventions for health and wellbeing not including XR
