Testbeds

Welcome to our digital health community, dedicated to empowering students and professionals in the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare innovation!
Let's talk about digital health testbeds – these are like the 'living labs' or 'field labs' where innovation takes center stage. Our testbeds serve as real-world laboratories, offering the ideal environment and methods to rigorously test and validate innovative products and services in actual healthcare settings.	At innovAId, we're all about supporting innovation teams within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), focusing specifically on leveraging digital technology to enhance patient care and healthcare practices. Our testbeds are tailored to facilitate and amplify the impact of these teams.
Navigating the journey from research idea to a lasting healthcare application can be a complex process. Innovation is inherently risky, expensive, time-consuming, and laden with uncertainties. We're here to streamline that process.	Now, enter our digital health testbed – a haven for structured innovation within a real-world context. It's where innovation teams, composed of professionals, students, staff members, technicians, and SMEs, can immerse themselves. Here, they can meticulously test, develop, test again, and validate their groundbreaking ideas in digital care, all while getting access to real world (clinical) data.
Our mission is clear: expedite the time it takes to bring innovations to market and amplify the impact of innovations in healthcare and healthcare outcomes.	We firmly believe that our testbed environment isn't just a space; it's a trailblazer in the digital innovation sphere in healthcare. We anticipate it becoming the go-to hub for sparking and nurturing new initiatives.
Stay tuned for more in-depth insights, articles, and updates on the innovative testbeds being developed at UMCU, MUG, PXL, ESEL, and IS KPI. Join us in reshaping the future of healthcare innovation!

PXL Testbed

A work reintegration lab has been established as a pioneering initiative to address the reintegration of long-term sick individuals into the workforce, aligning with the urgent need to determine capabilities for employment. The lab utilizes various modern technological tools to assess the possibilities of reintegrating individuals with physical complaints.

Within PXL , a work reintegration lab has been established as a pioneering initiative to address the reintegration of long-term sick individuals into the workforce, aligning with the urgent need to determine capabilities for employment. The lab utilizes various modern technological tools to assess the possibilities of reintegrating individuals with physical complaints.

When employees are absent due to issues like back and neck pain, determining their capabilities for returning to work becomes crucial. Traditionally, such assessments are made by doctors based on clinical tests, but there is a recognized need for more objective measurements.

In response, PXL Care Innovation has developed an objective, data-driven assessment that utilizes advanced equipment like cameras, electromyography for measuring muscle activity, and sensors for recording joint angles and movement. This technology allows for an accurate and objective mapping of individuals' work abilities, contributing significantly to the socially relevant topic of work reintegration. The advanced equipment and data analytics provide valuable insights into what employees can still do, facilitating a safer and more efficient return to work.

Additionally, the technology enables a preventive approach through ergonomics, intervening early to prevent injuries and complaints. This preventive aspect benefits not only employees but also employers and society at large. By combining these efforts with the assessment center's role as a digital health testbed, PXL is strategically positioned to drive innovation in healthcare and work reintegration, making a lasting impact on both individual well-being and broader societal challenges.

With time this lab will play a role in stimulating valorization and entrepreneurship by functioning as an innovation incubator in the field of work reintegration and is a catalyst for collaborative efforts. It provides a dynamic environment for testing and refining groundbreaking ideas and technological solutions in healthcare and work reintegration. Entrepreneurs and startups in the sector benefit from the lab's resources, mentorship programs, and networking opportunities, fostering the development and commercialization of innovative technologies.

The lab's collaborative ecosystem facilitates the exchange of expertise and resources among researchers, healthcare professionals, and entrepreneurs. The lab accelerates the journey from concept to market, offering validation for startups and promoting market-driven research.
