HOW?Social
Innovation
Open network
• Shared values• Shared knowledge• Shared savings
• Collaboration and co-creation between stakeholders is essential
• Different expectations and assumed responsibilities however dominate
Ecosystems are good examples of smooth collaboration
Barriers and facilitators of diffusion of health innovationsVerhaegh, Snaphaan, Wouters, et al. 2015

Ecosystem Dementia Care‘Brabantse Proeftuin Dementie’
Conclusions
• shared values, shared knowledge and shared savings
• stakeholder groups need a linking pin between each other
• this linking pin has to speak several stakeholder languages
Example CoP‘Old learned, young done’
• Nursing students, entrepreneurs, clients, teachers, researchers
• Human link technology – clients
• Advising role of young healthcare professionals – both human solutions and technical solutions
• Bottom-up approach
Workshop today:Experiencing a CoP approach
An innovation suitable fordementiaYou are going to know the product better now:
• Take a sheet and a pencil and visualise the product for yourself on the paper in 15 minutes. Also, take a look through the glasses.
• You will see that in order to do that, you have to have a very precise look at the product
Take another perspective
With the current knowledge and a opinion about the innovation:
• Pick a coloured card
• The colours means different roles. Each role (i.e. stake) means a different perspective regarding to the product
Take another perspective
Blue: you are an entrepreneur who wants to sell this innovation to people with dementia in a home-situation. Your product will give them rest and relaxation.
Green: You are a healthcare professional who wants to advise your clients about what will support them in their situation.
Red: You are someone who has dementia in a relatively early phase, and/or husband/wife of someone who suffers from dementia.
Yellow: You are an employee of a health insurance company who has to make decisions about the purchase of health innovations.
